Product Description:

The VSS112R22.04BP-000 is a smart camera in the VS Smart Sensors series from B&R Automation. By combining optics, lighting, and an embedded processor, it performs a single vision task directly on the machine and returns inspection results to the PLC without an external PC. This compact approach suits automated assembly, packaging, and pick-and-place stations that need local image capture and evaluation.

An internal processor clocked at 800 MHz drives the analysis pipeline, and the Cortex A9 i.MX6 dual core architecture supports parallel handling of image acquisition and preprocessing. Temporary data are buffered in 1 GB of RAM to reduce the risk of dropped frames during continuous operation. That memory capacity helps hold intermediate image data while filtering, edge detection, or color-based evaluation is running. Capture rates reach 165 fps, helping the camera keep pace with fast indexing and short inspection windows.

The optical system uses an 8 mm focal length, and a 37° field angle covers typical working distances on small conveyors. Native resolution is 1.3 MP, which provides enough pixel density for code reading, sorting, and presence checks. The integrated lighting reduces the need for separate external illumination hardware during setup. Illumination comes from 16 LEDs arranged in four multicolored segments, allowing red, blue, infrared, or white light selection from the same housing.

Wake Industrial can arrange same-day shipping when schedules are tight. Each unit is backed by a 1-year warranty. Users can use the chat tool available on the website for questions about fault codes or sensor parameters.
