zoom or
focus adjustable?
A: The FOV is about 0.250" and the working distance is 5mm on average
for
our
cameras. In some of our cameras, the zoom and focus are not adjustable due to
the rigidity requirements
of

coolant?

withstand the corrosive effects of oil and coolant. To clean your camera, use a
clean rag and light surfactants, finishing with a bit of alcohol and a
microfiber cloth for the camera lens.
Q: Is the light adjustable on the camera?
A: Yes, you can adjust the intensity of the LED light on the camera and
also turn off the light. Ambient light amount is different in every machine, so
you can adjust your lighting to minimize glare while also maximizing edge
definition.

provide you with a camera that fits your machine and works with our proprietary
software.
