Product Description:

The VSC523F16.021P-000 smart camera is built by B&R Automation as part of the VS Smart Sensors series. It combines a lens, lighting, and a quad-core processor in one housing, allowing inline inspection, measurement, and guidance without a separate industrial PC. Its machine-vision platform executes several vision functions at once, helping simplify automation layouts.

Its sensor captures images at 3.5 MP color resolution, keeping fine characters distinct for OCR or code verification. A sustained rate of 43 fps suits medium-speed conveyors and helps maintain stable image acquisition. Processing is handled by a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core running at 800 MHz, while 4 GB of onboard RAM stores multiple frames for parallel analysis. This combination supports deterministic cycle times even when classical tools and neural-network inference run together.

Wide-area coverage is provided by a 74° field of view coupled to a 4.6 mm F3.5 lens in an S-mount. Illumination comes from 16 LEDs in four segments, and the white emitters with a wide-beam optic spread light evenly across the target area. An inference accelerator handles preprocessing so quad-core utilization stays low, and a 1 MB L2 cache helps reduce latency. The camera is the deep learning variant, allowing convolutional classifiers to run alongside rule-based algorithms in the same device.

Wake Industrial can arrange same-day shipping for teams that need replacement units. Quotations remain valid for 30 days to simplify budget planning. For part numbers, fault codes, or specification questions, customers may use the chat tool available on the website before ordering.
