Baumer has released vision sensors in the VeriSens XF and XC series with new features. This includes new result output functions that can sometimes eliminate a downstream PLC.
Not only is the vision sensor able to link different individual inspection results to partial or overall results, but can also provide them at different times over up to five outputs. Thus, in addition to quality control, items like bottles or beverage packages can be sorted.
VeriSens vision sensors provide a direct encoder connection for path-based triggering and ejection. This function will save the PLC in sorting lines where a vision sensor takes over both product checking and control of ejection devices.
