A portable machine vision component comprising:
- a base portion configured to removably connect with a machine vision device, the base portion including an electrical input and an electrical output;
- a control system operatively connected with the base portion, the control system configured to control an operation of the machine vision device and to receive feedback from the machine vision device;
- and
- one or more interface elements associated with the base portion, the one or more interface elements configured to allow a user to access the control system and communicate with the machine vision device.
A machine vision system comprising:
- a machine vision device;
- a portable machine vision component configured to removably connect with the machine vision device, wherein the portable machine vision component includes a base portion having an electrical input and an electrical output, the portable machine vision component including a control system operatively connected with the base portion, the control system configured to control an operation of the machine vision device and to receive feedback from the machine vision device, the portable machine vision component including one or more interface elements associated with the base portion, the one or more interface elements configured to allow a user to access the control system and communicate with the machine vision device;
- and
- a computing device configured to receive one or more signals from the machine vision device through the portable machine vision component, wherein the portable machine vision component is located in-line between the machine vision device and the computing device.
