The First Proprietary Product
VA developed a C-mount-to-M12 lens adapter to solve a practical challenge involving M12 lenses, C-mount cameras and compact camera enclosures. The design was sufficiently distinctive to receive patent protection.
VA Manufacturing: From Machine Vision Distribution to Product Development and Manufacturing
VA Imaging has always looked beyond individual machine vision components, using customer feedback and market insights to develop practical solutions for real-world applications.

Manufacturing Products Around Real Market Needs
VA Manufacturing develops products in response to recurring customer requests and clear gaps in the machine vision market. Through its work with different brands, technologies and applications, VA Imaging can identify where standard products are unavailable, unnecessarily complicated or too expensive.
Large-Area Industrial Lighting
Standard machine vision lights were often too small or too expensive for illuminating pallets, large components and complete production areas. This led VA Manufacturing to develop a practical high-brightness bar light around real application requirements.
This application challenge became the starting point for a new VA Manufacturing product.
Customisation and Private-Label Manufacturing
VA Manufacturing supports modifications to existing products as well as complete custom-development projects.
Available services include:
- Alternative LED wavelengths
- Modified housings or dimensions
- Custom connectors and mounting options
- Complete camera assemblies
- No-label manufacturing
- Private-label manufacturing
The required development time depends on the complexity, testing requirements, tooling and expected production volume.
