The Inspector I40 2D vision sensor from SICK UK is claimed to inspect products faster, with better definition, higher reliability detection and wider fields of view while remaining outstanding value for money. Part of the robust Inspector range, the I40 offers improved data and image logging with class leading ease of use for a wide range of product, quality and labelling applications including packaging, small parts assembly and electronics production.
The Inspector series is said to be as easy-to-use as a standard photoelectric sensor. 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, its competitive price enables the engineer to make a decision for quality inspection within existing budgets.
The Inspector I40 can be rapidly reconfigured to suit changing application needs. The user is able to exchange lenses to meet requirements for a wider field of view or for inspecting smaller objects at up to 1,000mm, with corresponding variations in field of view between 550mm and 150mm. An excellent resolution is retained at high speed for accuracy and rapid image processing.
In addition, the Inspector I40 offers extended I/O functionality, enabling selection of up to 32 reference objects for comparison with the object being inspected, and delivering up to 30 inspection results at once. It also facilitates rapid reconfiguring between different products and part types in a large manufacturing unit.
