Camera Inside Cnc Machine

Every time we try to film in a cnc machine we always end up covering the lens in coolant.

Allows remote viewing via wifi. All of these will be aided by using the camera viewer function built into mach3 a popular cnc machine control software application offered by newfangled solutions and a free mach3 camera plugin by klaus dietz that adds crosshairs and other reference features to the camera view screen. One of the few options for dealing with this challenge is to integrate a camera in the machine to feed images directly to monitors outside the machine or remotely to give operators better visibility. Constantly stopping the machine to wipe off the lens was getting annoying so we designed an air knife that allows us to clean off the lens from outside the machine.

One inside each of the three machine enclosures and one mounted on a wall overhead for a view of the shop area. Fully enclosed in a high quality cnc machined housing the camera is completely protected from chips and coolant to ensure reliable long term operation. Our wifi camera mounts inside the machine enclosure allowing you to monitor your machining processes remotely from your mobile device via wifi. Lots of camera options are available on the market so ensuring that an operator has the right camera for any given application can be a challenge.

We got this idea from an excellent series of videos on the edge precision youtube channel. Log on to the cnc and check for machine alarms or other.
