Product Description:

The VSS112321.051P-000 is a smart vision sensor from B&R Automation in the VS Smart Sensors series. It combines optics, lighting, and onboard processing in one S-mount housing, which lets machine builders perform inspection, identification, or guidance tasks directly at the machine without extra cabinet hardware. Because image capture and evaluation occur inside the unit, it reduces the need for a separate external controller for basic deployment.

An embedded Cortex A9 i.MX6 processor clocks at 800 MHz and uses 2 cores to run one active vision function with stable cycle behavior under continuous operation. Its 512 kB L2 cache helps shorten image-preprocessing delays before evaluation begins. System memory totals 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, giving the sensor room to buffer frames and retain configuration data during operation in local memory.

The imaging system uses a global-shutter array with a resolution of 1.3 MP and can stream at up to 90 fps, which supports fast-moving inspection tasks without the motion artifacts common to rolling shutters. A fixed-focus lens provides a horizontal field of view of 37°, giving the sensor a controlled viewing window for medium-range checks. The focal distance is 12 mm, and the integrated blue LED illumination is divided into four switchable segments for more flexible scene lighting.

Wake Industrial stocks this sensor and offers same-day shipping for time-critical orders. Quotations remain valid for 30 days, which helps planners complete internal purchasing steps before approval. This availability can often reduce downtime when a replacement is needed quickly during unplanned maintenance events.
