Product Description:

The VSC122Q25.052P-000 is a smart camera from B&R Automation that belongs to the VS Smart Sensors series. As part of an integrated machine-vision platform, it combines imaging, illumination, and onboard processing so a separate controller is not needed for basic inspection, presence detection, or code-reading tasks on automated lines. This arrangement supports compact installation where image capture and evaluation need to occur in one device.

At its core is a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core processor that runs at 800 MHz and is supported by 1 MB of L2 cache to accelerate vision algorithms. The device carries 2 GB RAM for frame buffering and parallel data handling while executing several vision functions simultaneously. Image data are captured with a 5.3 MP sensor and transferred at up to 43 fps, allowing real-time analysis of moderately fast conveyor flows. A line-sensor mode is available when web inspection or continuous strip monitoring is required. Preprocessing performance is the standard variant, matching applications that do not need extended DSP resources. The S-mount simplifies lens exchange, and the housing accepts the supplied 12 mm F4 lens; use with UV LEDs or a type 1 LED lens is not permitted.

An optical angle of 37° combined with the 12 mm focal length yields a mid-range field of view for part sizes common in assembly and packaging. Illumination is provided by 16 LEDs arranged in four independently controllable segments behind a glass window that includes a polarizing filter, and the LED lens is type 2 in the standard version. The multicolored emitters supply R / G / B / Lime light so contrast can be tuned to material properties without external lamps. Mounting is straightforward with the integrated M4 thread pattern, and the restriction against UV sources protects the front optics.
