Sick UK claims its new Inspector I40 2D vision sensor inspects products ’faster, with better definition, higher reliability detection and wider fields of view while remaining outstanding value for money’ for a wide range of product, quality and labelling applications.
“Smart camera performance level inspection capability is achieved by building on the best features of the Inspector I10 and I20 models,” comments product manager David Hannaby. “For example, the higher VGA resolution, image capture speeds up to 250Hz, the additional pattern match tool, more detailed results information and image storage allow us to solve many applications where previously we would have needed a smart camera.
“The benefit to the customer is lower cost solutions that are easy to maintain on the production line; the wider field of view can mean less sensors are required. The I40 does not replace a 2D camera, as many more applications require a greater degree of inspection and integration into the production process.”
Said to be as easy to use as a standard photoelectric sensor, the new unit comes complete with a choice of integral lighting, in-situ interchange filters and lens, fast high capacity processing, Ethernet comms and rugged industrial IP67 protected metal housing.
