Universal vision sensor
14 October 2014
The new BVS-E Universal vision sensor from Balluff with integral processing electronics, lighting and two digital outputs it combines the functions of the proven BVS-E Advanced and BVS-E Ident vision sensors in a single device suitable for almost all inspection tasks.
Not only can the BVS Universal inspect a large number of characteristics in one pass, it can also simultaneously perform various tasks such as checking brightness, comparing contrasts, counting edges, checking positions, detecting patterns and reading codes at speed. New additional tools such as a 360° contour, barcode and data matrix check as well as the option of counting and checking contours offer a wide range of application possibilities.
The result of the check is issued either as an OK or error signal via the digital outputs or the RS 232/Ethernet interface. The position of the detected part can be transmitted to a PLC or robot control, for example, so that the part can be aligned for subsequent process steps.
