Numerous extensions for VeriSens vision sensors available

Thanks to the new universal image tool "edge characteristics', numerous inspection tasks can be mastered by a single intelligent feature check. The comprehensive and cross-industry application potential ranges from dimensional tracking of welding seams to quality checks in packaging to monitoring drive shafts for presence of notches.

Also immediately available are new vision sensor models in the XC-series with intelligent Color FEX 3D assistant for colour inspection, now including an additional ID function to cost-efficiently combine colour inspection, code reading (1D, 2D codes) as well as reading and evaluation of plain text (OCR/OCV). Thanks to specialised algorithms using colour detection to enhance contrast, codes on coloured packaging or even codes printed in colour are reliably identified.

Also, this software update now supports Windows 10 for the first time. This means high-level investment protection to the user, both for existing and future image processing applications using VeriSens.

Following one of the key principles of VeriSens vision sensors, the development focus for the Application Suite software update was on ease of use so that even complex inspection tasks can be set up within a few minutes. Configuration is done in only four intuitive steps. The vision sensor performs up to 32 simultaneous feature checks while stable image evaluation is ensured by the patented Baumer FEX image processor. Thanks to the configurable web interface, necessary parameter adaptation can be made straight in the browser of the existing machine control system.
