Sensors & transducers
The devices are used for presence or absence detection, parts detection, inspection, as well as measuring or counting tasks.
A CLEAR VIEW GUARANTEED
Three aspects of sensor technology are particularly important in image processing for industrial automation: performance, flexibility and usability. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. Leuze offers this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.

ision sensors are the ‘eyes of industrial automation’. That is because these little marvels enable machines to see and interpret their surroundings. They are easier to integrate and operate than camera systems. The devices are suitable for
many different tasks: They are used for presence or absence detection, parts detection, inspection, code reading, and measuring or counting tasks. When selecting the optimum sensor technology, it is worth considering performance in the corresponding detection, identification and inspection tasks. In addition, sensor configuration and parameterisation must be as simple as possible to save time and money. The Sensor People at Leuze provide a
product portfolio that meets these requirements with their Simple Vision concept.
SIMPLE SETUP, EFFICIENT DETECTION The image processing tools from Leuze are powerful: They combine image acquisition, processing and communication functions in one device. A common sensor application is detecting the presence or absence of objects. In filling systems, for example, caps, labels or imprints on bottles or flacons must be reliably detected. Sensors can also be used to check how an object is aligned – regardless of its format, material, color or dimensions. Users must ensure that the device performs well. The IVS 108 Simple Vision Sensor from Leuze, for example, has a consistent response time of just 50 milliseconds – even with changing
objects, ambient or application conditions. This makes it very easy for system operators to decide whether the sensor meets their production process requirements. A quick sensor setup is also important. The IVS 108 requires neither programming nor lengthy configurations. All you need to do is position ‘GOOD’ and ‘NOT GOOD’ objects in front of the sensor and confirm by pressing the teach button.
CODE READING MADE EASY
Vision sensors can also be used to read 1D or 2D codes. Sensors such as the DCR 1048i from Leuze read single or multiple codes simultaneously. This is a practical advantage for packages containing several secondary packaging units, for example. Multicode decoding makes this possible. If DPM codes printed on the packaging need to be
