The ideal answer to all lighting conditions
The smart camera can be configured to process the image in the camera itself. The image is then sent as desired to the display unit without any additional computing power required. Discover the smart features of the MDC3.
Get the picture sent to the display as you want it. The adjustment possibilities include: mirroring, flipping, brightness and contrast.
You can add the MDC3 Smart Camera to your network either with a static IP address or dynamically via DHCP.
Second Ethernet connection thanks to the integrated switch: Link up as many cameras as you like in series (daisy chain) via just one connection to the machine's control system. This saves on any cost-intensive additional switch and streamlines the wiring.
In third-generation: Thanks to the IP6K9K rating and its fibreglass-reinforced housing the MDC3 smart camera takes even the harshest operating conditions in stride.
The MDC3 is fitted with an anti-icing and anti-misting function. This means that the camera delivers clear pictures even in extreme temperatures - very shortly after machine start-up.
Very short latency: It takes less than 75 milliseconds for the MDC3 to send the captured image to the interface. This enables the implementation of a secure camera monitoring system as per ISO 16001, for example in conjunction with the Display Controller DC5 from Liebherr.
As well as the camera and the DC5 range we offer a broad mobile electronics portfolio for your machine:
Serious damage can be caused to a crane by incorrect winding of a rope. The MDC3 can provide an optimum view of the winch in real time. Through monitoring of the winch, costly damage to the rope can be avoided and downtimes reduced.
If there are obstacles in the work environment, this can lead to workplace accidents if not spotted in good time. The MDC3 supplies additional information through edge image and optical flow technology. The reliable detection of the edges and movement vectors of an object are important components in the implementation of environment recognition. This enhances work safety and efficiency.
When the driver moves a machine backwards or sideways, a reliable depiction of the work environment is all the more important. Thanks to the horizontal and vertical mirror function, the camera can be deployed in practically any position. This means that the driver can operate the machine safely and comfortably.
The smart camera is perfectly suited to the monitoring of critical areas. Thanks to the digital image acquisition, an image logger can be easily implemented. The comprehensive sensor functions of the MDC3 open up many more additional application possibilities.
