Vision Sensor Series, Enhanced

Banner Engineering has announced the release of the iVu Plus TG Gen2 and BCR Gen2 vision sensor series. Designed from the company’s industry-recognized iVu Integrated Vision Sensor family, the Gen2 series offers faster response times and multiple inspection resolution choices. Gen2 touch screen vision sensors advance inspection performance with Ethernet connectivity and multiple inspection capability. Ethernet connectivity enables sensors to share inspection data directly with PLCs, PCs or other factory devices, making communications and control even easier on the plant floor. For optimal detection of small parts and features, the iVu Plus TG Gen2 vision sensors offer the option for full 752 x 480 resolution.

The iVu Plus Gen2 model can also be configured to operate using four different sensor types. These types include Area, which verifies the presence of a feature or features of interest; Blemish, which identifies flaws on a part, such as scratches on a disc; Match, which verifies that a pattern, shape or part in any orientation matches a reference pattern; and Sort, which recognizes and sorts as many as 10 different patterns of parts, such as nuts, bolts and washers. The Gen2 series is available in four models: iVu Plus TG Gen2 Integrated, iVu Plus TG Gen2 Remote, iVu Plus BCR2 Integrated and iVu Plus BCR2 Remote. Each iVu Plus Gen2 model is housed in an IEC IP67-rated housing, making the sensors rugged and versatile to suit a broad range of application environments.
