Smartrunner checks position in battery production
07.06.2022 | When manufacturing battery cells, it is important that all the required cells are actually available and are in the correct position in the specified grid. To check this, the Vision sensor Smartrunner Explorer 3D by Pepperl + Fuchs a precise 3D point cloud image.
Modular universal vision sensor
22.01.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX | The universal vision sensor YOUR comprises four basic devices that offer a gradually growing range of functions with many equipment options. The basic cameras can be individually adapted to the applications. They are suitable for practically all types of object recognition and code reading.
Smartrunner 3D – Vision Sensor 3D for more variety
11.01.2022 | The Vision Sensor Smartrunner from Pepperl + Fuchs becomes more diverse. While previous vision sensors were generally designed for individual, specific tasks, the new Smartrunner product family is suitable 3D explorer for a wide range of applications that require high precision. The sensor technology generates a much larger data base in comparison.
1 mm² image sensor enables the world's smallest digicam
With an area of 1 mm², it is the world's smallest camera module Naneyem from AMS Osram via a fully digital output. The for the image sensor necessary Circuit board effect AT&S developed with the help of embedded component packaging technology. The mini digital cameras are suitable for wearables such as VR glasses or smartphones and for medical equipment.
Smart vision sensors control cobots from Universal Robots
12.12.2019 | The new Verisens vision sensors XF900 and XC900 from Baumer control the collaborative robots (cobots) of Universal robots after just a few minutes of setup. The robot-compatible vision sensors are mounted directly on the cobot or above it. Calibration in terms of image distortion correction, conversion to world coordinates and coordinate comparison between the vision sensor and robot is automatic and very easy thanks to the patent-pending smart grid.
This eliminates the usual manual effort Hand-eye calibration of robot and vision sensor. Not only is this more precise, it also reduces setup to a few minutes.
The installation and Configuration of the vision sensors is transparent and easy to understand: Only a few steps are required via the specially developed Verisens UR Cap interface for the robot control to benefit from the diverse Verisens image processing options. In the Robot programming only two additional commands (nodes) are necessary so that numerous applications across all industries can benefit from the advantages of Vision Guided Robotics.
Calibration online | audit-proof, efficient and networked
Instead of taught-in waypoints, free positions are approached at which objects were visually recognized. In addition, the already established functions can be used on object overlays and grab Free space to be checked. In addition, you can Absenteeism Vision sensors e.g. B. Check free storage positions, quality control of objects with variable positioning in the room and identify and measure objects.

Mobile 3D sensor system with 2D camera and overlay function
14.12.2016 | This 3D smart camera designed for mobile use by IFM Electronic is the first 3D sensorsystem with an additional integrated 2D camera. The overlay function can be used to graphically display obstacles and issue warnings, symbols and even complex drawings in real time. In addition, the signal processing in the sensor means that no external process unit is required.
User-specific parameterization is possible in a few steps with the Vision Assistant. All overlays are triggered either by the integrated driver assistance system or by the machine control via CAN. Thus, the user always has a clear view of all relevant (warning) information on the camera image.
Next to the 3D- and 2D image sensor, a complete evaluation is also integrated in the housing, which at the same time provides the user with a self-sufficient assistance system for collision avoidance. Setup takes just a few steps using the Vision Assistant PC software. In addition to an analogue video output, the smart camera also has a CAN and Ethernet UDP interface, which the system can use to independently issue warning signals in critical situations. This pioneering technology enables a completely new and rapid perception in many areas of application.
Smartrunner 2D – laser profile sensor and vision sensor in one
14.11.2016 | The Smartrunner technology with the first two vision sensor families Games and Detector from Pepperl+Fuchs is suitable for presence, completeness and position control as well as for monitoring and protecting even the smallest objects.
