Product Description:

The VSS122Q22.042P-000 is part of B&R Automation’s VS Smart Sensors series and serves as a self-contained machine vision unit for inspection, identification, and guidance tasks on production lines. It combines optics, illumination, processing, and I/O in one S-mount housing. That integrated design reduces panel space and simplifies use where a separate camera and industrial PC would be excessive.

An optical angle of 37° works with an S-mount 8 mm F4 lens to provide a moderate field of view for part presence and orientation checks. Images can be processed at up to 165 fps, which helps the sensor track fast-moving targets with less motion blur between frames. A Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core processor running at 800 MHz and supported by a 1 MB L2 cache keeps internal preprocessing responsive during a single active vision task. The glass front window includes a polarizing filter to reduce glare from reflective metal or plastic surfaces.

The illumination system uses 16 LEDs arranged in four RGB-Lime segments, allowing color or structured-light patterns without external strobes. Processing capacity extends across 4 cores and is paired with 2 GB RAM, so template matching or code reading can run locally while Ethernet remains available for data transfer. A native resolution of 1.3 MP balances image detail with manageable data volume. The standard preprocessing tier also helps avoid the added thermal load associated with higher-power variants.
