Product Description:

B&R Automation’s VS Smart Sensors series includes the integrated vision sensor VSS112Q21.05CP-000. Classified in the Smart Sensor product group and supplied under the Integrated Machine Vision range, the device unites optics, lighting, and processing to deliver pass/fail inspection data directly to machine controllers. This arrangement allows compact installation where separate camera, lighting, and processing components would take more space. It is mounted with an S-mount interface, and the plastic front glass carries a polarizing filter that reduces glare when the unit is positioned close to reflective parts on an automated line.

Image analysis is executed by a Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual-core processor running at 800 MHz. The two cores share a 512 kB L2 cache and operate alongside 1 GB RAM to support one active vision function in the standard preprocessing variant. A capture rate of 90 fps keeps fast pick-and-place or orientation checks within the sensor’s response window, while onboard computation removes the need for an external industrial PC. The lens holder accepts a 12 mm, F4, 2/3-inch optic, and colored illumination is provided by R, G, B, and lime LEDs through four independently addressable segments. The front window is made of plastic with a polarizing layer to reduce specular highlights, but the model cannot be combined with IR or UV LEDs or with type 1 LED lenses.

The optical assembly covers a 37° field of view when the factory-supplied 12 mm focal-length lens is installed, delivering images at a resolution of 1.3 MP. Lighting is produced by 16 LEDs arranged in four quadrants, and LED lens type 2 keeps the emitted beam suitable for close-range targets. Its integrated illumination supports stable contrast on short-range inspections where ambient light may vary across the machine. Because line-sensor suitability is marked as no, applications remain limited to area-scan tasks rather than continuous web inspection. Both the variant option and preprocessing performance are standard.
