Camera Mounting
The universal camera mount provided with the REV25 is designed to suit all Allied
Vision Technologies cameras recommended for use with the REV25 Vision Unit. If a
different camera is chosen and it can’t be used with the camera mount provided then
alternative mounting arrangements should be provided.
DO NOT
allow the camera to be unsupported on the camera lens.
Unsupported cameras may result in mechanical damage.
The universal camera mount can be placed in two different orientations on the
mounting plate located at the bottom of the RobotEye unit as shown in Figure 3.5. The
recommended mounting orientations are illustrated in Figure 3.12 below. Note that the
RobotEye head in Figure 3.12 is facing the default
home position
(0 elevation, 0 azimuth)
and that the resulting camera view will be rotated 90° with respect to horizontal for
each orientation.
