Bridging the gap between photoelectric sensors and vision systems
Due to their punctiform working principle, conventional photoelectric sensors are not always suitable for certain inspection applications. Also, object surfaces that change or reflect poorly can cause unstable detection. On the other hand, a machine vision system is often oversized or uneconomical. The solution for such 'intermediate' cases is the Vision Sensor LightPix AE20. It offers basic two-dimensional inspection yet is as easy to operate as a sensor.
