Product Description:

The VSS112R22.03DP-000 is produced by B&R Automation and belongs to the VS Smart Sensors series. Classified in the smart sensor product group, it combines optics, illumination, and onboard processing so automated inspection can be integrated directly on the line. The unit executes one active vision function per cycle and is supplied in the standard variant, providing machine-vision feedback for positioning, presence checking, or code verification. Because the sensor handles inspection locally, it can support compact installations where a separate camera head and remote processor would take more space.

Inside, a Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core CPU clocked at 800 MHz works with 1 GB of RAM and a 512 kB L2 cache, matching the stated preprocessing performance level. Two execution cores manage image acquisition while sustaining a throughput of 165 fps for fast-moving parts. The electronics sit behind a plastic diffuser front glass and are coupled to the standard LED lens type 2. Power and data are routed through the back, and mounting is handled with an S-mount thread. A sealed enclosure rated at IP65/IP67 tolerates washdown or dusty zones close to conveyors, reducing the need for additional protective housing in exposed areas.

The imager delivers 1.3 MP stills through a 6 mm F3.5 lens, resulting in a horizontal field of view of 37°. Illumination comes from 16 LEDs arranged in four multicolored segments that can output red, blue, infrared, or white, letting a single sensor adapt to changing contrast conditions. Segmented lighting also makes it easier to highlight edges, surface marks, or printed codes without changing the sensor body. Line-sensor suitability allows synchronization with web processes that expose only one image row per cycle. The plastic diffuser helps limit specular reflections from reflective parts, and the lens follows the 1/1.8-inch format constraint. Operation is blocked if an IR LED or a type 1 LED lens is selected, so the delivered configuration follows that restriction.
