Product Description:

The VSS112A21.041P-000 smart sensor belongs to the VS Smart Sensors series from B&R Automation. It combines imaging, illumination, and processing in one compact S-mount housing for part presence, orientation, and quality checks on automated lines. By placing vision tools at the point of inspection, it reduces network traffic and avoids the need for a separate remote controller. It also supports decentralized inspection in compact machines where limited cabinet space makes central vision hardware less practical overall.

Its processor runs at 800 MHz on a Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core platform and works with 1 GB of RAM for local execution of one active vision function. That onboard computing power supports filtering, thresholding, and decision making inside the sensor head instead of sending raw images to an external PC. A capture rate of 90 fps helps the unit inspect fast-moving parts while keeping conveyor throughput steady.

The image path uses a global shutter sensor with 1.3 MP resolution, giving clear detail for code reading and dimensional checks. A horizontal field of view of 37° is achieved with the bundled lens at a fixed focal length of 8 mm, which suits typical working distances in pick-and-place cells. Onboard ultraviolet illumination peaks at 385 nm, helping fluorescing targets stand out while the coated glass reduces glare.
