With the new layout of the Cognex In-Sight 5000 series,
there was no compatible camera mount
on the market.
Foveal Systems came out with a competent camera mount that meets my needs. Thanks Foveal. |

Motivation
The Foveal 2-Axis Fine_Adjustment Camera Mounts, models FM1_2a and FM2_2a, are designed to match common machine vision camera mounting configurations. But a customer expressed the need for something similar that could easily handle the unusual mounting screw holes in the Cognex In-Sight 5100 and 5400 cameras.
So we created the FM3_2a Fine-adjustment 2-Axis Mount.
It shares the fine-adjustment features and mounting plate options of the other
Foveal FMs (Fine-adjustment Mounts).
The Cognex model series supported include
5000,
5100,
5400,
5600,
and
5700.
Other cameras in the Cognex line can be mounted on the
FM1_2a and/or FM2_2a mounts.
The Matrox GatorEye and Iris GT cameras also mount on the FM3_2a
Because the FM3_2a is designed specifically for these make and model mounts, we optimized the placement of the Pan and Tilt Axes so they are centered on the imaging element inside the camera body.
Features in common with all FM models
The 2-Axis Fine-Adjustment Camera Mounts may be supported with the base down or the base up. In either position, the plate the camera attaches to can be either below or above the camera.
When coarse adjustments are unlocked, there is sufficient friction to hold the camera in position. Coarse position can be set by hand.
Fine adjustments are made using a hex wrench, allowing for extremely fine positioning.
Independent adjustment of each axis means each adjustment does not affect the other.
All adjustments and locking are made with a single 3/32 inch hex wrench. Reconfiguration is done with a 9/64 inch hex wrench.
Once the mount is locked, the camera does not move.
While not as robust as the Rigid Mounts, the Fine-adjustment Mount will work very well in applications where the mount will not be subjected to extreme disturbances. They are also suitable for mounting other types of instruments and sensors.
For more robust, two- and three- axis mounts that feature fine adjustment and locking of the pan, tilt, and roll axes, see the Foveal 2- and 3-Axis Rigid Camera Mounts.
