An advanced version of the Sharpshooter vision-based sensor offers increased functionality at a lower price than traditional vision sensors, says the vendor.
The Sharpshooter provides 360º part rotation recognition. Configured
inspections are compensated for the parts rotation, minimizing the need
to tightly fixture parts, while reducing set-up costs. Added output
logic functionality is designed to enable links to any tool or
combination of tools to any output, allowing inspection to be
customized to any production situation in which simple inspection
results are not enough. By providing part or feature presence/absence
and inspection, position detection, plus dimension verification all in
one product, the single-unit vision-based sensor is said to replace
expensive, cumbersome multi-sensor solutions. Balluff Inc.www.balluff.com800.543.8390
