Product Description:

The VSC122005.053P-000 is a smart camera supplied by B&R Automation and organized under the VS Smart Sensors series. It is listed in the product group as a smart camera and forms part of an integrated machine vision range, so image capture, preprocessing, and decision logic happen inside the housing rather than in a separate controller. The unit can run several vision functions simultaneously, which allows a machine to check presence, measure dimensions, and read codes in parallel without extra hardware.

Computation is handled by an ARM-based Cortex A9 i.MX6 processor that operates at 800 MHz. The device uses 4 cores to keep multiple inspection pipelines responsive, and a shared 1 MB L2 cache reduces memory latency between cores. Image buffers and neural filters reside in 2 GB of DDR3 RAM, which provides capacity for high-resolution frames and feature layers. This standard variant provides the designated preprocessing performance level, so filtering and segmentation are completed inside the camera before data reaches the PLC. Because no LED lighting is integrated and the LED lens is omitted, external illuminators can be selected to suit the target surface. The electronics sit behind a glass diffuser front window that protects the sensor while evening out incident light.

The imaging path centers on a 12 mm F4 2/3-inch lens fitted to an industry-standard S-mount. At a full resolution of 5.3 MP, the sensor streams up to 43 fps, supporting both area and line-scan modes. Its suitability for line-sensor tasks allows the same head to inspect long webs or labels without a hardware change. The absence of built-in LED lighting allows external illumination to be matched to the application, and the diffuser helps protect the optics from airborne oil or dust. The lens focal length and mount style let the camera be positioned close to tooling while maintaining a practical field of view for standard-range applications.
