Our aluminium machine vision camera housing protects different machine vision camera brands as Daheng Imaging, FLIR, IDS Imaging, Allied Vision, Basler and many other brands against moisture and dust. The lens settings can no longer be adjusted by operators anymore. The enclosure has been tested in IP67 conditions with our GigE, USB3 and I/O cables. It is the most affordable machine vision camera housing on the market. The Machine Vision Camera housing has no branding on it. Create brand awareness by labelling the housing with your own company logo. With our industrial machine vision camera enclosure your machine vision solution will get more robust.

Machine vision cameras are a crucial part of industrial automation. We developed this user-friendly, compact, and high-quality machine vision camera housing to protect your camera and lens. The camera enclosure protects your machine vision camera in humid and dusty environments. The enclosure has been tested in IP67 conditions and is additionally used as general protection for the camera and lens.
The enclosure has been developed to be dustproof, waterproof, and protected against immersion up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. The aluminum machine vision housing serves as a heat sink, this ensures that the heat is dissipated from the camera. At an ambient temperature above 35 degrees, it is mandatory to attach the camera enclosure to a metal profile to further dissipate the heat. The glass in the lens tube of the enclosure transmits frequencies between 400 and 1000 nm.
The housing of the objective part (lens tube) is modular so that different length objectives can be used. Each enclosure will be delivered including a 20mm lens tube (outside dimension) and two 15mm extension tubes. This makes it easy to adjust the length of the lens tube to the size of the lens. With the standard included extension tubes the following lens lengths are possible (measure from front of c-mount camera to front of lens, based on MER and MER2 camera series):
- no extension tube, max lens length 15mm
- 15mm extension tube, max lens length 30mm
- 15mm + 15mm extension tube, max lens length 45mm
Additionally, you have the option to buy the EC01, EC02, VA-ACC-MVEC167-TUBEx3 or EC04 accessory:
- EC01, one extra 15mm extension ring to support a lens of maximum 60mm
- EC02, two extra 15mm extension ring to support a lens of maximum 75mm
- VA-ACC-MVEC167-TUBEx3, three extra 15mm extension ring to support a lens of maximum 90mm
- VA-ACC-MVEC167-TUBEx3, four extra 15mm extension ring to support a lens of maximum 105mm
The maximum lens diameter is 40mm. If a lens has a larger diameter than 30mm, there is a chance that the screws to fix the lens aperture and focus rings are too large. In such case an OT71 flat screw set is required to replace the original lens screws.

Standard we include 3 different mounting plates, type1, type2 and type3. Depending on the camera model, you only need to use one of these adapter plates. Beside Daheng Imaging we also support Basler, FLIR, Allied Vision (AVT), IDS Imaging and many other 29x29mm camera models.
We support the full range of 29x29mm cameras from Daheng imaging. You can recognize the camera as the type number starts with MER or MER2. Both USB3, GigE and GigE with PoE are supported. For Daheng cameras, adapter plate Type1 is required. We have designed the housing to work with our wide angle 4mm lens. All our C-mount lenses with a diameter of less than 40mm will fit. If you use a M12 wide angle lens, like our 3.3mm lens, the camera needs to get closer to the lens tube. As a result the camera can only be mounted with 1 screw. In this special case, we advice to use adhesive tape to make sure the camera will stay positioned correctly. Our camera enclosure will protect your Daheng Imaging camera.
The camera housing supports 29x29mm Basler cameras. The following adapter plate is required:
Ace Classic = Type1
Ace U = Type1
Ace 2 Basic = Type2
Ace 2 Pro = Type2
Our camera housing will protect your Basler camera.
The camera enclosure supports 29x29mm FLIR cameras (former Point Grey). The following adapter plate is required:
Blackfly USB3 = Type1
Blackfly GigE = Type1
Blackfly S USB3 = Type1 or Type 3, depending on exact model
Blackfly S GigE = Type1 or Type 3, depending on exact model
Our camera enclosure will protect your FLIR camera.
The camera housing supports 29x29mm Allied Vision (AVT) cameras. The following adapter plate is required:
Mako U = Type1
Mako G = Type1
Alvium U = Type1
Our camera enclosure will protect your Allied Vision (AVT) camera.
The camera enclosure supports 29x29mm IDS Imaging cameras. The following adapter plate is required:
UI-xxxxCP = Type3
U3-xxxxCP = Type3
GV-xxxxCP = Type3
Our camera enclosure will protect your IDS Imaging camera.
The camera enclosure supports 29x29mm JAI industrial cameras. The following adapter plate is required:
Go series = Type1
Go-X series = Type1
The camera enclosure supports 29x29mm Cognex industrial cameras. The following adapter plate is required:
CIC series Body type A = Type1
The cameras are a great value for money and the lenses also. The software is outdated and needs refreshing. It took me considerable amount of time to discover how to access the camera features.

Recently we purchased a camera with lens, and LED lights. We are not experienced with machine vision but the installation worked out fine. After installation on our laboratory we were surprised again of the high quality of the photos and the versatility of this system. (options in Galaxy viewer and integration in Python. Recently we had an issue with the software and the customer support was able to give us the relevant information to fix it within one day. The next time we need a camera we will not be looking to other suppliers but contact GeT Cameras immediately.

For a new product development there was a lot of price pressure. We needed a cheap camera. I called them and Caspar was providing great support. He even advised a cheaper camera than I had in mind. I was just surprised by the inhouse knowledge of get cameras about machine vision. Never expected this from a webshop. The image an built quality of the camera is also great. The camera feels and operates the same as our Basler cameras.

In the beginning I was sceptic because of the low prices, but support by email was great. They advise a lens and provided additional technical information. Unfortunately they don't offer a loan service, but I decided to try it. I had the cameras in house within 2 weeks and connection was easy. The SDK looks like the SDK from Basler so I felt directly comfortable with it. The camera and lens was a perfect match and now I'm able to read small DMC codes on large products with just a single camera.

They responded quick to my emails also when I needed support. They send me an article how to quickly install the camera and set the most important parameters. it was very helpfull and within half an hour we had a good live view image. We have also ordered the lens they advised. It provides a nice and sharp image.
