Motivation
The
Foveal 2-Axis Fine_Adjustment Camera Mounts,
models FM1_2a and FM2_2a,
are designed to match common
machine vision camera mounting configurations.
But a customer wanted something similar for the
Cognex DataMan 470 series cameras.
(Other cameras in the Cognex line can be mounted
on the FM1_2a and/or FM2_2a mounts.
See also the
Cognex In-Sight 7200 Mount
below).
So we created the FM3_2a Fine-adjustment 2-Axis Mount. It shares the fine-adjustment features and mounting plate options of the other Foveal FMs (Fine-adjustment Mounts).
Because the FM3_2a is designed specifically for these make and model mounts, we optimized the placement of the Pan and Tilt Axes so they are centered near the imaging element's optical center.

Features in common with all FM models
The 2-Axis Fine-Adjustment Camera Mounts may be supported with the base down or the base up. In either position, the plate the camera attaches to can be either below or above the camera.
When coarse adjustments are unlocked, there is sufficient friction to hold the camera in position. Coarse position can be set by hand.
Fine adjustments are made using a hex wrench, allowing for extremely fine positioning.
Independent adjustment of each axis means each adjustment does not affect the other.
All adjustments and locking are made with a single 3/32 inch hex wrench. Reconfiguration is done with a 9/64 inch hex wrench.
Once the mount is locked, the camera does not move.
While not as robust as the Rigid Mounts, the Fine-adjustment Mount will work very well in applications where the mount will not be subjected to extreme disturbances. They are also suitable for mounting other types of instruments and sensors.
For more robust, two- and three- axis mounts that feature fine adjustment and locking of the pan, tilt, and roll axes, see the Foveal 2- and 3-Axis Rigid Camera Mounts.

Camera Mounting Alternatives
Adjusting camera mounts can become tedious in tight or inconvenient spaces. We have made the Fine Mounts customer-configurable, so alternative placements of the adjustment screws and the Tilt table are possible.
|
For example,
it may be more convenient to have the camera mounted away from the Pan
axis.
In particular, this allows the camera to look around a corner or down over
an edge.
Note that in this configuration the Pan axis does not go close to the optical center of the camera, although the Tilt axis still does. |
| Click to enlarge pictures and drawings. |
|
In this example, the camera can look down, or up,
from a position well outside the mounting plate footprint.
Note that both the Pan axis and Tilt axis are far from the optical center of the camera. |

If you need to verify a particular configuration, please contact us.
