Product Description:

The VSS122R32.041P-000 smart sensor is produced by B&R Automation within the VS Smart Sensors series. Designed for integrated machine vision tasks, it combines optics, processing, and lighting in one enclosure, so it can handle inline inspection, measurement, or part localization without a separate vision controller. In an automation cell, it sends evaluated results directly to the PLC, allowing the machine to react quickly to visual conditions and reduce external hardware complexity.

A Cortex A9 i.MX6 quad-core processor handles image analysis at 800 MHz, and its 4 cores let the sensor divide preprocessing, pattern search, and communications across parallel resources. A memory pool of 2 GB stores image data and intermediate maps during active jobs, while a 1 MB L2 cache cuts repeated external memory access and helps maintain predictable response times. This computing platform supports one selected vision function from the B&R algorithm library, which keeps execution focused on the task assigned by the machine program.

The global-shutter imager captures up to 165 fps at 1.3 MP, giving the sensor enough temporal and spatial detail for fast inspection steps on moving parts. Environmental protection reaches IP65/IP67, so the housing can operate on exposed machinery where dust and washdown conditions are concerns. Integrated illumination uses 16 LEDs, and selectable red, blue, infrared, or white light helps improve contrast across surfaces that reflect or absorb light differently.
