Product Description:

The VSS112811.021P-000 is a camera-based smart sensor produced by B & R Automation for the VS Smart Sensors series. It captures images and evaluates them directly on the device, which helps reduce controller load during inspection and guidance tasks in industrial automation. The unit uses an S-mount and is intended for applications with one active vision function, helping keep machine layouts compact and cabling simple.

Its optical system uses a 4.6 mm lens with F3.5 optics and a field angle of 74°, giving the sensor a broad view for short-range machine vision work. A global-shutter imager captures 1.3 MP frames at up to 90 fps, which supports accurate tracking on fast conveyors. An anti-reflective glass window reduces glare, and the wide-beam lighting arrangement helps maintain stable image quality during repeatable inspection cycles.

Processing is handled by a Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core processor running at 800 MHz and supported by 1 GB of RAM for local image evaluation. Illumination comes from 16 LEDs arranged in four individually switchable segments, and each emitter produces red light with a peak wavelength of 632 nm. The sensor uses an area-scan design rather than a line-scan format, making it better suited to general presence checks, positioning, and feature verification.

Wake Industrial stocks this sensor and offers same-day shipping options when immediate replacement is necessary. Each unit is backed by a 1-year warranty. The chat tool available on the website can be used for questions about part numbers, fault codes, or general specifications before ordering when quick pre-purchase clarification is needed.
