Product Description:

The VSC122R14.031P-000 is a smart camera manufactured by B&R Automation within the VS Smart Sensors series. As an integrated machine vision device, it combines optics, processing, and lighting to verify features, detect defects, and guide equipment on the production floor. The unit belongs to the integrated machine vision product range and is intended to shorten installation time by embedding image capture, preprocessing, and decision logic directly at the sensor level.

The optics block offers a viewing angle of 74° through a fixed 6 mm focal-length lens. The 6 mm F3.5 lens for 1/1.8-inch sensors is seated in an S-mount for straightforward replacement. Image sequences are captured at 43 fps and stored at a native 3.5 MP resolution, giving sufficient detail for dimensional inspection. The embedded Cortex A9 processor runs at 800 MHz across four symmetrical cores to execute several vision functions simultaneously. Illumination is produced by a wide-beam LED lens system that distributes light from 16 multicolored diodes arranged in four segments, with selectable red, blue, infrared, or white output. A front window made of glass with an anti-reflective coating limits stray reflections so small surface variations remain visible.

To keep processing consistent, the camera integrates 2 GB of DDR3 RAM for image buffers and a 1 MB L2 cache that shields the cores from memory latency. The computing core is the Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core SoC, so filtering and blob analysis run locally without a separate control-cabinet PC. Lighting control addresses a ring of 16 LEDs, and each segment can emit R / B / IR / White to adapt contrast without external strobes. Because the design is not suitable for a line sensor, image acquisition is limited to area tasks. The hardware follows the standard variant used in the VS Smart Sensors series.
