Image sensor needs no PC

2nd Quarter 2009 Other technologies

The iVu seriesTG Image Sensor from Banner Engineering Corp. combines the simplicity of a photoelectric sensor with the intelligence of a vision sensor to deliver powerful and affordable inspection capabilities, without the use of a PC.

The image sensor features a touch screen with an intuitive interface and easily configurable inspection parameters, allowing even first-time users to quickly and conveniently apply and support inspections right on the factory floor,

The sensor offers three advanced sensor types in one compact, rugged package, making it possible to solve a wide variety of complex applications with one sensor. Typical applications include:

* Label inspection.

* Part presence and orientation.

* Date/lot code inspection.

* Injection moulding verification.

* Drilled hole inspection.

* Weld nut presence and orientation.

* Electronic marking verification.

The iVu seriesTG image sensor features:

* Integrated or external lighting (red, blue, green or infrared options).

* 68,5 mm (2,7”) LCD touch screen display.

* 752 x 480 CMOS imager.

* Onboard help functions.

* Onboard USB port for upload/download to USB drive.

* Remote TEACH.

* Software emulator to program the iVu offline and load parameters using a USB drive.

* Adjustable focus lenses.

* Inspection/system logging for rapid analysis.
