Product Description:

The VSS112004.042P-000 smart sensor is produced by B & R Automation as part of the VS Smart Sensors series. Designed for integrated machine vision tasks, it combines image capture, preprocessing, and decision logic in a single enclosure. This arrangement simplifies quality checks and part identification on automated lines.

An embedded Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual-core processor runs at 800 MHz and accesses 1 GB of DDR RAM for temporary image buffers. The device delivers a native resolution of 3.5 MP and streams at 43 fps, which suits applications that need fine detail without sacrificing update rate. Two CPU cores handle acquisition and analysis in parallel, and only one active vision function runs at a time.

The optical path uses an 8 mm lens, and a front window made of Glass with polarizing filter helps suppress glare on reflective parts. The sensor body accepts lenses through an S-mount, which allows quick lens changes when the viewing task changes. It communicates through 2 Powerlink ports for deterministic networking, and it is not intended for line-scan optics.

Wake Industrial can arrange same-day shipping for urgent replacement needs, and quotations remain valid for 30 days to support purchasing schedules. Customers can use the chat tool available on the website for questions about type codes or error indicators. This sensor is suited to inspection cells that benefit from onboard image processing, reduced external hardware, and straightforward network integration into automated equipment, where compact vision packages help simplify control-cabinet layouts and reduce the amount of separate processing hardware required elsewhere in the machine overall.
