Working Distance and Field of View

The working distance is the distance from the vision sensor lens to the part; field of view is what the vision sensor can see at that distance. As the working distance increases, so does the field of view.

In each working distance and field of view chart, the x-axis represents the working distance and the y-axis represents the horizontal field of view. The following table shows the working distance and field of view examples for the In-Sight 2000 vision sensors with the S-Mount/M12 lens configuration (default 640 x 480 image resolution).
