Product Description:

The VSC122F36.051P-000 smart camera is produced by B & R Automation and is part of the VS Smart Sensors series. Within the Integrated machine vision range and the Smart Camera product group, it combines imaging, processing, and illumination in one enclosure. Installed directly on a machine frame, it inspects parts, guides actuators, or verifies printed codes without a separate PC. The unit can run several vision functions simultaneously, which can shorten wiring runs, reduce the need for external vision hardware, and free space in the control cabinet.

Computation is handled by a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad-core processor that runs at 800 MHz. Processing is shared across 4 cores and supported by 1 MB of L2 memory, while captured data are buffered in 4 GB of RAM. Images come from a color sensor with a native resolution of 3.5 MP, and the device sustains a maximum frame rate of 43 fps for fast production lines. A 12 mm focal-length lens provides a 23° field of view and mounts through an S-mount interface, which simplifies optic changes. This standard variant supports image capture, analysis, and local processing inside the camera housing while keeping power dissipation moderate.

Optical protection is provided by front glass with an anti-reflective coating that helps reduce glare. Illumination comes from an integrated ring containing 16 LEDs arranged in four addressable segments, which allows targeted lighting zones for different inspection tasks. Each diode uses a lens with a type 3 narrow beam pattern that concentrates intensity on small features, and the emitted light is white across the entire visible spectrum for consistent color analysis. The design omits a line-scan sensor, so the camera is intended for area-based inspection tasks where compact dimensions and integrated vision processing are preferred.
