When Should I Use a Vision Sensor?
A vision sensor is a self-contained device that includes vision lighting, lens, and camera in a single compact unit, which simplifies implementation.
Vision sensors are best for simple quality control applications including presence/absence verification, matching, label inspection, verifying the correct color or shade of an object, etc. A great first vision application using a vision sensor is a pattern-match inspection since it simply requires capturing an image of a correct condition. When the sensor detects a part that doesn’t match, the sensor sends a fail output to the line, and the product is rejected. For example, a vision sensor can be used to verify the presence of a label on a product.
Another good application is complete assembly verification. For example, a vision sensor can be used to verify that all correct components are present in a completed medical kit assembly.
Benefits of Vision Sensors:-
- Save Time and Costs
- Use fewer devices to inspect multiple conditions
- Meet a variety of application requirements with one model
- Verify, shapes, patterns, colors & more
- Create contrast with colored lighting
