    Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor is provided for a repeated detection of objects at different object distances, having a light receiver for generating a received signal from received light, having an evaluation unit for generating object information from the received signal, and having a distance sensor for determining the object distance from a respective object. The evaluation unit is here configured to acquire a measurement variable from the received signal with respect to an object, to associate the measurement variable with the object distance measured for the object, and to form a first distribution of the measurement variable via the object distance after detecting a plurality of objects.

    Abstract: A camera is provided that comprises an image sensor for detecting image data from a detection region and a reception optics arranged in front of the image sensor, a focus adjustment unit having a thread for changing the position of focus of the reception optics by way of a rotary movement and a front screen. In this connection the reception optics has a front region having an inner contour that is accessible via the front screen in order to rotate the reception optics from the outside in the thread and to thus adjust the focus.

    Abstract: A method of mounting an electrical component on a base part having an inclined support surface is provided, in which method a first wedge surface of a wedge element is arranged on the support surface and a lateral force is exerted on the wedge element so that the first wedge surface moves on the support surface until a second wedge surface of the wedge element remote from the support surface reaches a desired position, and wherein the electrical component is arranged on the second wedge surface. In this respect, a first fastening element of the wedge element is fixed to the base part and the lateral force is afterward no longer exerted.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a camera system for inspecting and/or measuring objects in an environment, comprising a color image sensor, an objective arrangement in front of the color image sensor for imaging an object from the environment on the color image sensor and at least one taking illumination light source with which the environment can be illuminated by non-monochromatic light, in particular without passing through the objective arrangement. In accordance with the invention, an internal reference illumination light source is provided which is arranged such that the color image sensor can be illuminated by it without the light irradiated by it for this purpose passing through the objective arrangement. The invention furthermore relates to a method for inspecting and/or measuring objects using such a camera system.
