Vision Sensors
Industrial vision is one of the key sensor technologies of the future. The sensors and systems available from Pepperl+Fuchs range from vision sensors to system solutions that are customized according to the needs of your specific application. From the rack fine positioning of automated storage and retrieval systems to sheet verification in print post-processing, Pepperl+Fuchs offers vision sensors that are designed for your specific applications. Light section sensors based on unique SmartRunner technology enable rugged solutions for reliable presence, completeness, and position detection, even for low-contrast objects and in a wide range of lighting conditions.
Product Portfolio
3-D Vision Sensors
The 3-D sensors of the SmartRunner Explorer 3-D series are made for goods inspection on conveyor belts or for pick-and-place applications in robotics. The 3-D vision sensor delivers high-precision 3-D point cloud images in addition to 2-D images, and is available with stereo vision technology or time-of-flight (ToF) technology. Commissioning is performed with the intuitively operable ViSolution software—regardless of what technology or sensor version you choose.
2-D Universal Vision Sensors
The VOS 2-D universal vision sensors with integrated evaluation and all common communication interfaces are ideal for positioning, feature detection, optical measurement, 1D/2D code and text recognition (OCR), and color detection. Discover the comprehensive vision tool set.
Event Cameras
The event camera (IP65/- 30° to + 50°C) continuously records the last 60 seconds of the video stream. It provides a 24/7 live view of your application as well as an internal ring buffer to capture a video recording 60 seconds before and after a trigger event. Digital hardware input allows easy integration for event recording and improved error analysis. Full HMI integration is possible thanks to REST API.
Vision Sensors for Sheet Verification
Vision sensors support fast and easy monitoring of a defined sheet for incorrect sheet detection applications. In the printing industry, these sheet verification sensors, such as the BIS510, are used in folding, collating, and binding machines. Combining two functions in one sensor is the special feature: Sequences can be monitored through image comparison or by reading barcodes printed on sheets.
