An optoelectronic sensor comprising a light receiver, receiving optics in front of the light receiver, and a focus adjustment unit having an actuator and configured to move the light receiver, wherein the focus adjustment unit comprises a parallel guide having at least one flexible retaining element and moving the light receiver in a constant orientation on the optical axis of the receiving optics.

Optoelectronic sensor and method for focus adjustment

An optoelectronic sensor is provided comprising an optics with focus adjustment, wherein the sensor has a movable carrier element having the optics and a fixed position holding element, and wherein the position of the movable carrier element is variable with respect to the holding element for an adjustment of a focal position. In this respect, at least one rolled leaf spring is arranged between the carrier element and the holding element.

Optoelectronic sensor and method of focus adjustment

A camera is provided that comprises an image sensor for detecting image data from a detection zone, an illumination unit having at least one light source for illuminating the detection zone, and a front screen. In this respect, a lateral deflection element is provided that is associated with the light source, that is arranged in the camera protected by the front screen, and that has a diffusely scattering surface or a reflective surface to generate a diffuse illumination or a dark field illumination in the detection zone.

Camera and method of detecting image data

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.
