October 2014 Sensors & Transducers

In most industry sectors new applications are evolving that require high performance, easy to use image processing solutions. Wenglor’s new VisionSystem+ meets all of these expectations.

Available from ASSTech, the device offers flexible functions that provide solutions for simple shape and position detection right up to complex measuring tasks. With the automatic tracking feature, functions such as object differentiation, bulk goods analysis and optimised orientation correction are made possible.

The modular system design consisting of control unit and camera is distinguished by the new Teach+ function that allows users to record the affective segment of the production process to a data file and transmit this to a service technician via Wenglor’s website. Project settings are optimised and sent back to the user. After reading the parameters, production can be continued uninterrupted at full speed. The entire process is completed without accessing the customer’s network.

The new VisionSystem+ is supplemented with an extensive range of illumination technology such as luminous floodlights and ring illuminators and spotlights in various sizes. A variety of light and operating modes (through-beam operation, flash mode, diffuse light dispersion etc) provide for perfect contrast conditions.
