Product Description:

The VSS122A21.053P-000 smart sensor belongs to B & R Automation’s VS Smart Sensors series. It combines optics, lighting, and processing in one housing for machine vision work on production lines. The self-contained design reduces the need for a separate PC and helps conserve space in conveyors, pick and place units, and compact inspection stations. It also further simplifies wiring in tight cells.

An onboard processor clocked at 800 MHz uses a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core architecture with 4 cores assigned to vision tasks. The platform includes 2 GB of RAM, which supports image buffering and lookup tables for its active vision function. Sensor resolution reaches 1.3 MP, and captured frames can be handled at up to 90 fps for fast target evaluation. That frame handling rate helps the sensor inspect moving parts with shorter exposure times and reduced motion blur during in-line verification.

A 12 mm focal length supports moderate working distances in the optical setup. The integrated ring light uses 16 LEDs behind a glass diffuser to keep illumination more uniform across the target area. Ultraviolet lighting centered at 385 nm supports fluorescence contrast, and the field of view spans 37° for area imaging rather than line scanning. This arrangement supports stable contrast when fluorescent marks or coatings must be distinguished from surrounding materials.
