Screw-in optical filters

New screw-in filters for C and CS-mount cameras have been introduced on the Kurokesu e-store. Until now, filters were bare glass elements intended to be mounted during camera assembly or in case of camera rework kits installed with double-sided tape. For Kurokesu cameras, this was a somewhat limiting factor for a customer to change a […]

Camera body cap update for CS and M12 cameras

While good at protecting from dust, camera body caps are rarely used with industrial cameras. After the camera is unpacked and the lens is installed usually it stays this way for a very long time. And even if lenses are switched over, the camera very rarely stays with an unmounted lens. Adhesive Polyamide tape is […]

Experiments with parfocal motorized zoom lens

Motorized zoom camera C1_PRO_X18 has two independent stepper motors for Zoom and Focus control. More specifications can be found in the documentation area. By design, this varifocal lens means the focus will be lost after the magnification motor is moved. However, the lens has linear rail reference points and it is possible to calibrate the lens so it will behave like […]

Cooking C2 camera for science

C1 PRO camera was known for surviving fairly high temperatures. New C2 was designed with better heat management in mind thus the picture is still usable at 100*C (aluminum enclosure) temperature. Keep in mind that this is not a full-featured test in the thermal chamber, both cameras were cooked on 200W preheat the oven. But I was pretty happy […]

Making fine pitch PCB prototypes with fiber laser

There are quite a lot of inexpensive and fairly reliable PCB manufacturers that can produce double-sided PCB’s with solder-mask and silkscreen in a day or two, but what if you need it now? I will not cover expensive prototyping machinery nor messy printer/etching process instead let’s use a 20W Fiber laser. Because… who does not […]

Pulling full resolution from a webcam with OpenCV (Windows)

OpenCV while being the most popular tool for a lot of machine vision applications it relies on a third party and some poorly maintained code. Capturing MJPEG compressed video from a UVC USB camera was always the case and it did not work or worked with some issues. This situation is especially bad for Windows OS. […]
