Compatibility of our Components
Active & passive component tests
We ensure the compatibility of all our components through systematic testing.
Passive components
Based on our technical specifications, our passive components such as lenses, filters and camera mounts are subjected to regular functional and interoperability tests. We carry out regular supplier audits to ensure a consistently high level of quality, even for purchased components. We not only carry out functional tests, but also check all components specifically for compatibility with our cameras. We also provide all the necessary certifications.
Active components
For the active components (cameras, lighting, software), everything from the smallest component onwards is checked precisely in several defined steps. The sensor alignment of the cameras, for example, is checked in automated tests. Temperature tests are carried out for selected models. Finally, we carry out a fully automated check with our self-developed testing tool. All critical parameters are checked. These automated tests are customized for each Basler camera platform.
Systematically ensuring interoperability
When developing new vision systems, Basler has a central unit that manages and defines all requirements through to validation. This means that specific product ideas are converted into basic system requirements. These then serve as binding parameters for the individual components. In this way, they act as a kind of touchstone for the quality and stability of the system.
In addition, our vision system community (our interdisciplinary group of developers and architects) defines and continuously expands the framework for system specifications. With this framework, we ensure individual reliability and suitability for use in machine vision systems. With a particular focus on compatibility and smooth operation with all other components.
