Canon’s new compact APS-C or full-frame professional mirrorless cameras produce a much higher level of image quality. In terms of sensitivity, their higher resolution gives you the ability to capture a larger area without losing essential details. They also deliver faster speed through Canon’s uniquely integrated approach to innovation.

In three ways, Canon:

• Design and manufacture the sensor and processor to work together
• Integrate every lens to enhance performance
• Give users the freedom to capture an image whichever way they choose, before using Canon’s SDK to simply transfer the data to a third-party analytics programme.

• Built-in quality: no need to learn the science of imaging and spend time building/outsourcing parts of an image capture solution
• Scalability: easier and faster to scale camera or multi-camera inspection solutions
• Quicker deployment: readily available off-the-shelf solutions, allowing faster implementation
• Cost simplicity: all-in-one solutions that are easier to manage and predict

Depending on the surface inspection challenge you’re facing and the cost/performance parameters you work within, Canon provides a range of solutions - from ‘fully integrated’ to ‘lens-only’. They all offer the best balance of resolution, sensitivity, ruggedness, weight, and automation.

Canon’s difference is that their SDK offers this in the most open way:

• Wired: EDSDK for Windows, Mac, Linux (Raspberry Pi OS), on ARM/Linux (Ubuntu OS), on ARM and Intel. The EDSDK is also provided as ‘C’ library, so it can be integrated with industrial applications.
• Wireless: CCAPI for various operating systems including but not limited to: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, Linux. Additionally, CCAPI is a Web API that can be accessed using HTTP.

Through a combination of unique Canon imaging innovations, such as:

• Dynamic and memory based autofocus
• Image stabilisation
• A range of lenses that can handle a variety of working distances

Canon Professional Services act as your imaging specialists, offering their expertise so that you can focus on the business of production.

Partnering with Canon is as simple and reliable as the quality of their inspection solutions, thanks to their:

• Test-before-you-purchase loan kit
• Global support
• Product availability

No problem. With the new Birger mount, Canon lenses can easily be integrated into your industrial camera systems.
