Product Description:

The VSC122A25.051P-000 from B&R Automation belongs to the VS Smart Sensors series and functions as a self-contained smart camera for integrated machine vision tasks on production equipment. The unit combines image capture, onboard processing, and digital I/O so inspection, guidance, and identification routines can be executed without an external controller. By embedding recognition logic inside the camera housing, it streamlines installation, shortens response time, and lowers network bandwidth requirements in high-speed automation lines.

Its computing core is a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core processor running at 800 MHz and supported by 1 MB of L2 cache and 2 GB of RAM, giving the standard variant enough headroom to execute several vision functions simultaneously. The preprocessing performance is standard, and the device delivers a full-sensor frame rate of 43 fps at a native resolution of 5.3 MP. Line-sensor operation is available for elongated fields of view, and the unit is part of B&R’s integrated machine vision range. The multicore architecture allows deterministic parallel execution while the UV lighting driver, memory bus, and image pipeline share internal bandwidth efficiently.

The optics stage uses an S-mount barrel with a lens set that provides a field angle of 37° when the installed lens offers a 12 mm focal length and an F4 aperture on a 2/3-inch sensor. Front glass with an anti-reflective coating preserves contrast under factory lighting, while LED lens type 2 maintains uniform output from the integrated illumination ring. The lighting module contains 16 LEDs divided into four independently addressable segments, and each diode emits UV light with a peak wavelength of 385 nm so fluorescent marks and adhesives can be detected reliably. The sensor supports code reading, presence verification, and part detection without auxiliary lamps.
