Sensors & transducers
Vision sensors are recommended in many cases for image processing in industrial automation. Leuze’s Simple Vision product portfolio has the right solution for almost any application.
detected, a sensor such as the DCR 1048i DPM is recommended. This is equipped with an optimised reading algorithm for reliable decoding.
ALL-ROUNDER APPLICATION Depending on the application and system design, an all-rounder vision sensor can prove worthwhile. This enables system operators to respond quickly to market requirements and product changes. The all-rounder vision sensors such as the IVS 1048i from Leuze are recommended for detection, inspection and identification tasks. For example, checking
whether labels or adhesive have been applied correctly on a packaging line. Another possible use is checking whether bottles are sealed correctly in a beverage-filling system. Some manufacturers offer devices with different resolutions. The IVS 1048i is available with a lower (736 x 480 pixels) or higher resolution (1,440 x 1,080 pixels). This allows very flexible sensor use. There is also a choice of four interchangeable S-mount lenses with variable focus adjustment. This means that the reading distance, field of view and depth of field can also be adapted to each system’s requirements.
The IVS 108 from Leuze is suitable for any application that requires checking the presence or absence of objects. For example, bottle caps, labels or imprints on bottles or flacons in filling systems. It can also be used to check the correct alignment of objects, regardless of their shape, material, color or dimensions.
FLEXIBLE CONFIGURATION No vision sensor without software: The usability of the associated image processing program must be a decisive factor when selecting the sensor technology. Time and effort can be saved in system operation with software that includes powerful tools and also provides statistics for image processing and inspection that can be used offline. Common interface protocols such as TCP/ IP, PROFINET, FTP and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) are integrated into the device. This facilitates communication and data acquisition. Leuze provides PC-based configuration software that fulfills all these requirements with its Leuze Vision Studio. It is suitable for the IVS 1048i and DCR 1048i Simple Vision sensors. The Leuze Vision Studio offers the option of configuring the various sensors virtually using an emulator and testing the applications with real images without a device being physically present.
SUMMARY
It can be beneficial for system operators to focus on vision sensors that can be set up and operated without any specialist knowledge. This makes integration and ongoing operation easier, even if production process requirements change. The system sensors can thus be designed cost- effectively with minimal effort. It is also important to choose a device with a powerful performance. The sensors in the Simple Vision concept from Leuze Vision combine all of this. This enables the efficient use of image processing technology in industrial automation.
