Industrial USB cables for digital image processing

"It's so easy!" is the corporate philosophy of IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, Obersulm." Our compact cameras are based on the central customer benefit of easy installation and simple use," explains Marketing Manager Thomas Schmidgall. "We pay attention to the highest quality. It starts with the development and ends with the accessories." For the cameras that are used in rough, industrial image processing, IDS offers its customers USB cables as accessories that have been specially developed by igus for high data transmission requirements. For dynamic movements in measurement and testing technology or for robot use, we recommend the industrial chainflex CFBUS.065 and CFBUS.066. "The robustness and signal quality convinced us right from the start," so Schmidgall. "Starting from a length of 5m, we only specify the industrial bus cables from igus for perfect data transmission. Conventional cables cannot withstand the mechanical and electrical loads over the long term." "We have spent a long time looking for ways to implement a transmission length of 10m for industrial use, so that no other fault-prone components come into play. Before we came across the chainflex cables, we tested a large number of cables from a wide variety of suppliers. None of them could withstand the requirements of interference-free signal transmission." The USB connection itself is not the problem, but the mechanical and electrical loads caused failures time and again.
