All-in-one Panel PC device
Real-Time I/O, LED controller, rich interface choice and more integrated as standard features

Many automated applications require machine vision systems that allow an easy monitoring and – if needed – intervention possibilities for the operating personnel. The Vision Box Touch is a robust and reliable Panel PC that can be mounted close to the camera to provide a Touch-Panel based user interface for controlling the machine vision system and displaying important user information. This all-in-one touch computer is equipped with an i-Core CPU and a variety of interfaces such as Real-Time I/O, GigE Vision, Camera Link, 2.5 GigE Vision, 5GBase-T, serial interfaces or fieldbuses as a long-life series product. IMAGO’s unique Real-Time Communication Controller (RTCC) is an essential part of the Vision Box Touch. It enables Real-Time control of the external signals and operates independently from the operating system. For use case specific models, the Vision Box Touch Panel PC can be supplied with optional features like additional operating elements, such as additional buttons or emergency stop functionality, as well as other additional functions, e.g. rfid.

Ease of use close to the machine vision system
In many industrial use cases, machine vision systems that can deliver important information to the user directly at the point of inspection mean a big benefit. The Vision Box Touch supplies that feature as it combines easy access to the HMI and a capacitive 10 finger multi-touch screen functionality on a state-of-the-art 21,5“ display that can be mounted close to the camera or cameras installed within the machine vision system.

All-in-one Panel PC
The Touch Screen Panel PC for automated optical inspection includes all components required for the implementation of powerful image processing systems. The available Intel processors up to the i5 cover a wide range of possible applications and allow the design of application-specific systems of all levels. Users can select the perfect interface for their application from a variety of options. IMAGO´s integrated Real-Time Communication Controller guarantees precise control of all components, including the lighting, and thus forms the basis for reliable inspection results.

Embedded and fanless design
Due to its fanless design, the Vision Box Touch Panel PC is a robust and reliable embedded vision system that is suitable for use in a wide variety of application fields. The device can be mounted easily via VESA threads to a swing arm or alternatively integrated in the cabinet´s door.

Long-term availability
