Product Description:

The VSS122Q24.042P-000 is a smart sensor from B&R Automation in the VS Smart Sensors series. It combines imaging, onboard lighting, and embedded processing in one housing, so inspection tasks can run without a separate industrial PC. This design suits machines that need checks for part presence, orientation, or dimensional conformity during production. It forwards inspection results through standard fieldbus channels for machine control.

Its processing subsystem runs at 800 MHz on a Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad core platform and includes 2 GB of DDR3 RAM with a 1 MB L2 cache. That hardware lets the sensor analyze images at 3.5 MP with rates up to 43 fps, supporting fast in-line inspection on moving equipment. Performance remains consistent across units, and the model is intended for area-image tasks rather than line-scan applications. The processor and memory combination helps maintain response times in routine checks.

The optical system uses an included 8 mm lens that produces a horizontal field of view of 37° at the nominal working distance. Illumination is provided by 16 LEDs arranged in four multicolored segments, helping the sensor adapt contrast to different target surfaces. Embedded algorithms run inside the sensor, while the front optics include a polarizing filter to reduce reflections on shiny parts. The protected window improves repeatability under varied lighting.

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