SIGNAL - the specialist in machine vision connectivity solutions

　　With the gradual landing of the national intelligent manufacturing strategy, industrial intelligence information technology, artificial intelligence, big data and other industries have ushered in a booming development. Machine vision as a key link in the whole technology upgrading and intelligent manufacturing ecosystem, as the visual nerve of the connecting wire is playing a very critical role, especially to meet the performance and life, high load application scenarios of highly flexible connecting wire. SIGNAL‘moulded wire connectors’ are the answer to the needs of our customers.

　　Machine vision systems consist of many components, all of which must be optimised for best performance. Selecting the right cables and connectors to connect the camera to the vision system or PC is an important part of this and is driven by the specific application.

　　There are inherent challenges in industrial environments that can interfere with cable performance. As a result, an often overlooked factor in machine vision system performance is cable quality. Where high quality output is required, the use of low-cost or consumer-grade cables that are not specifically manufactured to withstand industrial applications and environments can degrade signal output and the resulting image quality. Poor quality cables are not specifically designed to withstand industrial applications and are therefore particularly susceptible to crosstalk as they do not have the proper cable shielding to isolate signal crossovers.
