Vision Sensors
- automated solution that solve simple error-proofing applications
Vision sensors look for specific features to identify anomalies on parts or within processes to automate decision-making and quality control activities.
Vision sensors are a type of automated solution that solve simple error-proofing applications. Typically, they perform a single function at a time, such as binary classification, defect detection, optical character recognition (OCR), object counting, and assembly verification.
More capable than other types of sensors, including photoelectric, laser, and proximity, vision sensors combine a camera’s ability to take pictures with the processing power of a computer. They analyze acquired images to gather data for inspections or to trigger other devices. Based on criteria set during training, vision sensors look for specific features to identify anomalies on parts or within processes to automate decision-making and quality control activities.
