The PresencePlus P4 GEO 1.3 vision sensor makes highly detailed automated inspections possible at about half the cost of comparable vision sensors, says the vendor.
Priced at $1,995, the P4 GEO 1.3 uses a 1.3 megapixel imager to capture minute details of multiple features at ranges from a few inches to several feet, depending on the lens used. As a result, says the vendor, one P4 GEO 1.3 can perform an inspection that used to require multiple sensing devices. The vision system includes several features designed to make it easy to install and use. Remote TEACH allows the sensor to learn new features to inspect for, without connecting to a PC or shutting down the production line. A built-in live video image output allows users to view the sensor’s inspections in real time and to view failed inspection images without a PC. The P4 GEO 1.3 vision sensor interfaces to machinery or factory networks through a built-in 10/100 Ethernet connection, RS-232 or four discrete input/outputs.
