Mounting adapters and adjustment brackets
1 Camera enclosure mounting kits overview Gecko- Orca – and Salamdner camera enclosures from autoVimation attach to a machine frame with one of the 11 mounting kits described in this manual. All mounting kits consist of at least 2 parts: − −
Mounting adapter plate that can be mounted directly to T- Slot profiles or a machine frames One or several mounting brackets to meet all adjustment requirements
Example: Requirements: Mounting position: horizontal T-Slot profile Camera adjustment required: Tilt adjustment ± 6 degrees Solution:
90 degrees mounting plate
Parallel slim bracket
Tilt bracket ± 6 degrees
Gecko / Salamander housing with ± 6 degrees tilt adjustment The following sections include a number of mounting examples.
Since most of the mounting adapters and brackets can be combined, this is by no means a complete list. Please contact
[email protected] if you have adjustment requirements not listed in this catalogue.

Mounting Adapter Plates
Mounting adapter plates overview There are 3 different mounting adapter plates adapters: - mounting plate 90 degrees - rotational mounting plate - mounting plate parallel These mounting plates can be readily mounted to vertical or horizontal T-Slot profiles1.

General features Mounting Brackets and Adjustments
Once adjusted and fastened- the camera housing will not move! One 2 screw mounting bracket resists dislocation up to 3000N! This means the housing does not move even if a load of up to 294kg or 650 lb. pulls on the camera housing.
The large load is made possible by employing a high precision convex clamping geometry that enlarges the area of contact compared with 2 parallel surfaces:
Bracket holds up to 294kg!
Flexible mounting on all 4 sides along the entire housing length means: -

Working distance adjustment of ± 70mm always included! Turing the camera image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees simply by changing the mounting side.

Description of Gecko Mounting and Adustment Brackets Parallel Slim Bracket
* assembly width Universal mounting bracket that can be used where parallel clamping is required. Application examples:
With mounting plate 90deg. → housing pointing straight down, no tilt / rotational adjustment.
1.4.2
2 slim parallel brackets holding XZ fine adjustment table (fine X/Y adjustments 6mm travel)
Slim parallel bracket combined with tilt bracket
Parallel Slim Bracket with hand knob
* assembly width Applications: Similar to the "Parallel Slim Bracket" when frequent adjustments are required - ideal for a laboratory environment. However temporary use only since the holding force of this clamp is limited. © 2009 autoVimation Peter Neuhaus, Karlsruhe, Germany

Repeatable Positioning Bracket
Use: If removal of the camera housing and exact re-positioning is required (for instance for cleaning and maintenance).
Description: Bracket consists of 3 parts - one parallel clamping bracket and 2 positioning clamping pins. The positioning pins are mounted at each mounting side (for instance on the housing and the adapter plate). Mounting the parallel mounting bracket across the adjustment pins positions the housing with a repeatability of ± 0.05mm. The housing orientation remains constant due to the dovetail.
Mounting Steps:
mounting positioning pin on both sides

1.4.4
Rotational Bracket
* assembly width
Use: - when rotational adjustment is required - housing can be mounted at any angle. Resists large torque due to clamping geometry.

XZ / XY Fine Adjustment Table
Fine positioning Table shown with 2 parallel slim brackets and parallel mounting plate Use: When fine Adjustment in X (sideways) and Z (focussing) direction is required. In combination with a mounting angle this bracket can be also used in X and Y direction (accurate positioning of the camera image). Particularly useful when using lenses with large focal length or telecentric lenses, where exact image positioning and focussing is vital. Travel in X and Z direction ± 3mm (or 6mm if starting in one end position). One turn on a positioning screw corresponds to 0.7mm travel. Mounting Steps and application example:
2. unscrew positioning screws 1. loosening locking screw (loose in middle position)
3. move table to desired position by turning positioning screw on one side back in (with camera housing attached). Start at one side (move table by hand to end position) to maximise travel.
X ± 3mm Z ± 3mm
4. Once positioned, also turn in positioning screws on opposite sides.

Final Result: Camera position and working distance incrementally adjusted to correct position.
5. locking positioning table by fastening locking screw (turn to either side) - table remains in adjusted position and does not move during locking.
6. Attach camera housing with Travel in X and Z direction ± 3mm (or 6mm if starting in one end position). second parallel slim bracket. This step is usually done between step 2 and 3 above, in order to adjust camera image.
One turn on a positioning screw corresponds to 0.7mm travel.
Fine positioning of camera image in X/Y direction:
Adjustment in Y direction: 6mm max.
Now with knurled head screws for tool-free, manual adjustment!
Adjustment in X direction: 6mm max.
Fine adjustment camera image in X/Y direction, horizontal mounting of adjustment table Corresponding camera image: Adjustment in X direction: 6mm max.
Adjustment in Y direction: 6mm max.
