Components

An image processing system needs more than just a camera, a lens and a light source. A stable vision system requires reliable components for image acquisition and data transfer as well. Basler offers a wide selection of more than 200 accessory products such as lenses, frame grabbers, I/O cables, power supplies, data cables, host adapters, hubs and switches. Before we adopt new accessories into our portfolio, we first test them extensively for their interaction with our cameras to ensure full compatibility and top performance in the overall system.

Those USB 3.0 accessories must be chosen with the same level of care as the USB 3.0 camera itself. USB 3.0 accessories from the consumer field can prove penny wise but pound foolish, as they are not designed to handle the higher demands of machine vision applications.

For simplicity's sake, we refer to USB 3.1 Generation 1 simply as 'USB 3.0', as the underlying technology is the same for both versions. The second generation of the USB 3.1 interface will be a different matter, as it will change the bandwidth volumes.
