Successful projects – customers who trust EQ
Typical challenges when selecting industrial camera solutions
High quality strandards, but no suitable camera solution available
Technological dependency due to proprietary systems
Unclear or expensive price structures of established providers
Lack of consulting at eye level – products instead of solutions
Project delays due to slow response times or inflexible systems
Difficulties with contactless quality control or position determination

What customers have achieved with our cameras: Examples from the field
Reliable connector control in special machine construction
3D-testing of connectors in real time
Use case: Checking the pins of connectors (Runout test)
Key result: Stable solution with 3D profiler for height and position detection
Our service: Technology-agnostic consulting and use of a 3D vision system with a standard solution at a repeatable 10 micrometer accuracy
A special machine manufacturer in the automotive and electronics industries uses our solution to inspect the position, height, and potential deformation of pins in its plug connectors. The implemented 3D profiler reliably detects bent or missing pins — even with complex geometries and a wide variety of component variants. Its highly repeatable accuracy of less than 10 micrometers enables stable, fully automated quality control. The solution improves defect detection and ensures consistently high connector quality.
Detect the smallest defects even on shiny surfaces
Detect surface defects in 2.5D – in multiple industries and applications
Use case: Detection of the smallest surface irregularities
Key result: Customizable, economical solution for precise fault detection
Our service: Individual consultation and use of a configurable 2.5D solution with high-speed array and special lighting
Thanks to 2.5D image processing based on the phase shift method, even the smallest height deviations on shiny materials can be detected – a challenge that many conventional methods fail to meet. The method combines high speed with a high level of detail, enabling automated surface inspection even on reflective workpieces. The solution can be used across all industries and is particularly attractive from an economic point of view, as it reliably detects defects and ensures the required quality of the resulting workpieces.
Reliable package identification in intralogistics
6-sided-code-recognition with volume measurement
Use case: Automated code recognition on every parcel page
Key result: Reliable identification in real time with a modular, scalable solution
Our service: Comprehensive consulting and application of a profiler for volume analysis, combination of area scan and line scan cameras
A customer in the intralogistics sector needs to automatically identify parcels with unknown code positions. Our solution combines volume measurement and code recognition on all sides: A profiler captures the package geometry, triggers the cameras and also recognizes the volume. A line scan camera reliably reads the underside through a defined gap . The company now benefits from end-to-end data capture without manual intervention, minimized mismatches and a robust, scalable process for high throughput and variable parcel formats.
This is what you can expect from us and our camera solutions:
Reduced project durations and faster marketability
EQ Photonics accelerates your automation projects with short response times, modular machine vision components and individual advice. This enables us to rapidly deploy solutions into production enviroments – especially in mechanical engineering, intralogistics and quality assurance.
Technological independence through open systems
The technological capabilities of industrial image processing are especially valuable for companies in special machine construction, robotics, and automation. EQ Photonics offers scalable, open vision systems – from smart cameras to 3D vision – that are modular, expandable, and compatible with a wide range of technologies.
Sustainable investment through a scalable solution
With modular VisionMaster software, optional AI integration and high-performance camera components, EQ Photonics enables long-term perspectives for growing requirements – e.g. in high-speed inspections or track & trace applications.

Frequently asked questions about EQ Photonics camera solutions
It all depends on the specific task: Whether you need high resolution, 3D information or compact designs – we provide advice that is open to all technologies and work with you to find the right camera for your application.
Smart cameras combine camera, evaluation and interfaces in one device. This saves space and reduces integration costs. This is a particularly attractive solution for fast or small space applications.
The price depends on the scope of the project, accuracy requirements and system complexity. In general, you will receive an indicative price range from us before the feasibility test.
We analyze your application, review the technical requirements and simulate the setup if necessary. The goal: clarity about the prospects of success and system design before you invest.
We do not rely on standardized sales processes, but on individual support and technical expertise at eye level. We offer you technology-agnostic advice, a more diverse portfolio and significantly more in-depth solutions – from the initial consultation to the final solution.
