The O2U5 offers excellent inspection capabilities by integrating two sensors into one device. This advanced 2D vision sensor allows for the simultaneous analysis of surfaces and contours, along with reading QR codes and characters. This dual functionality ensures comprehensive quality control during production and final assembly processes.

Engineered for simplicity, the O2U5 vision sensor features multiple interfaces, including IO-Link, ensuring seamless integration with diverse controllers. Its intuitive software, equipped with application wizards and detachable memory, simplifies operation and configuration. This design minimises setup time, guaranteeing optimal performance.

The O2U5 offers various illumination options, including red light, RGBW, and infrared light, enabling users to choose the best fit for their specific application needs. Paired with different lens types such as standard, wide-angle, and telephoto, the O2U5 provides flexibility in diverse industrial environments.

Enhanced quality assurance processes are facilitated by the O2U5's capability to perform detailed surface inspections and precise code analysis. For example, it can validate component conformity using QR codes while simultaneously conducting final quality checks on the component's surface and contours.
