Industrial cameras are professional camera devices used in the fields of industrial automation and machine vision. They can efficiently and accurately obtain images of target objects and cooperate with automation equipment to perform image processing and analysis. With the development of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, the demand and market for industrial cameras are growing rapidly, especially in the fields of quality inspection, production line monitoring, automation control and machine vision.
01、Industrial Camera Market Application and Trends
The main application areas of industrial cameras cover manufacturing, electronics, pharmaceutical industry, automobile manufacturing, logistics, etc. With the improvement of the automation level of various industries, it has shown a rapid growth trend.
According to market research, the industrial camera market has maintained rapid growth in recent years, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where market demand is particularly strong. It is estimated that by 2025, the global industrial camera market will reach billions of dollars. This growth is due to the following major trends:
1. The promotion of intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0
The core of Industry 4.0 is intelligent manufacturing and automation, and machine vision, as a key technology, has greatly promoted the demand for industrial cameras.
2. Integration of artificial intelligence and big data
With the development of artificial intelligence and big data technology, industrial cameras are no longer limited to simple image acquisition, but are combined with technologies such as deep learning and edge computing to achieve real-time analysis and decision-making of complex image data.
3. High resolution and high speed
With the continuous improvement of the industry's requirements for accuracy and efficiency, the technical development of industrial cameras is also constantly upgrading. Cameras with high resolution (such as 8K and above) and high-speed imaging will become the mainstream in the future.
4. Diversified interfaces and communication protocols
With the popularization of industrial Internet of Things, industrial cameras that support multiple communication protocols (such as EtherCAT, Profinet, etc.) can be better integrated into the automation system, enhancing the fluidity of data and the synergy of the system.
In these application scenarios, industrial cameras require clock devices to have high precision and accuracy.
02 Application of crystal oscillators in industrial cameras
"Schematic diagram of the operation process of industrial cameras"
In each module of the industrial camera, the crystal oscillator (crystal oscillator) plays the role of providing accurate clock signals, which is mainly used to ensure that the various parts of the system can operate synchronously and ensure the stability and correct processing of the signal. Different modules have different requirements for parameters such as the frequency, accuracy, and temperature stability of the crystal oscillator.
Common frequencies for industrial cameras: 32.768KHz, 24MHZ, 25MHZ, 27MHZ, 40MHZ, 100MHZ, 125MHZ, 156.25MHZ
Based on the requirements of industrial cameras for clock devices, the following YXC crystal oscillator solutions are recommended:
32.768KHz resonator
The mainstream solution for industrial cameras currently uses a 32.768KHz resonator with a package size of 3.2*1.5.
MHz resonator
MHz resonators in industrial camera applications mainly use 3225/2520 sizes, and some sensor applications have crystal oscillator miniaturization (2016) requirements.
CMOS oscillator
Industrial camera applications require oscillators with high precision and high stability. Some module designs may require the application of oscillators with special frequencies, which can be met by pre-programmed oscillators.
Differential oscillator
10G network industrial cameras usually use higher frequencies such as 156.25MHz, and have higher requirements for jitter.
(YSO230LR jitter ≤ 0.1pS, which can meet the jitter requirements of oscillators for conventional industrial camera solutions)
