Machine Vision Camera Mounts
& Sensor Brackets
Machine vision camera mounts, lens holders, lighting brackets and alignment components — machined for optical stability, vibration resistance and repeatable positioning. One-off prototypes and repeat batches run on the same program.

X–Y–Z translation stages and tilt platforms for camera-to-object distance calibration.
ACT
Calibration Target Mounts
Stable, flat mounts for calibration boards with known flatness and surface finish.
Engineering Considerations
Optical Axis Stability
We machine critical bore diameters to H7 tolerance and specify roundness where needed.
Vibration Resistance
Ribbed designs and strategic material selection reduce resonance in high-speed inspection lines.
Black Anodizing
Standard 15–25 µm black anodize reduces reflections. We account for growth before machining.
Light Reflection Control
Surface roughness Ra 1.6–3.2 µm on non-critical faces to scatter ambient light predictably.
Repeatable Positioning
Dowel holes and kinematic features for repeatable camera removal and replacement.
Machine Vision Camera Mounts — Specification Checklist
Most vision problems start as mounting problems. These are the decisions that decide whether a camera mount stays in focus and returns to the same position after service.
Camera interface
C-mount, CS-mount, M42 and M12 bores machined to H7 with the flange distance controlled. Threads are cut after the anodizing allowance is confirmed, not before.
Mounting pattern
Base patterns matched to your cell structure, with dowel or pilot features so a camera returns to the same position after service or a line changeover.
Adjustment
Fixed mounts, single-axis slots or X-Y-Z stages for camera-to-object distance. Lock screws sized so adjustment holds under machine vibration.
Finish
Black anodize 15-25 um as standard to reduce reflections into the lens; clear anodize where a lighter finish suits the cell. Coating growth is allowed for before machining.
Prototype or production
One mount for a prototype cell and a repeat batch for a production line run on the same program and are inspected to the same documentation level.
Documentation
Critical-dimension report on the optical bore, the mounting pattern and the face that sets camera height - the three features that decide repeatability.
