Product Description:

The VSS112824.051P-000 is a smart vision device from B & R Automation’s VS Smart Sensors series. Its compact housing combines optics, lighting, and a dual-core processor to perform automated inspection tasks directly on the machine. By acquiring and evaluating images locally, the unit reduces control-network traffic and supports integrated vision in packaging, assembly, and material-handling cells.

A native resolution of 3.5 MP supplies fine detail for character recognition and dimensional checks, while a maximum rate of 43 fps helps the sensor keep pace with fast conveyor flow. The optical path covers a field of view defined by a 37° angle, so one sensor can monitor wider targets without mechanical motion. Image preprocessing is handled by an on-board Cortex A9 clocked at 800 MHz, and the platform includes 1 GB of DDR3 RAM for temporary image buffers and vision algorithms.

The integrated S-mount lens provides a focal length of 12 mm, matching the sensor’s pixel size for reduced distortion at typical working distances. Illumination comes from an array of 16 LEDs arranged in four controllable segments, allowing users to adjust lighting patterns for specular or diffuse effects. Each diode emits red light centered at 632 nm, a wavelength chosen to reduce color variation on common industrial materials. Additional processor resources assist the dual-core architecture in maintaining deterministic throughput without an external PC.

Wake Industrial stocks this smart sensor to reduce lead times. Same-day shipping is available on qualifying orders. Every purchase includes a 1-year warranty. It is a practical option for facilities that need compact vision hardware quickly onsite.
