MultiSight™ Vision Sensor

The MultiSight is an easy-to-use economical alternative to conventional vision systems for detecting presence or absence, completeness, position, markings, labeling, packaging and components. An optical multi-pixel sensor with a pass/fail PNP output, the MultiSight uses three different methods of evaluation (pattern matching, contrast, and brightness) to detect or differentiate objects by means of previously defined optical characteristics, e.g. for separating "good" and "bad" parts. The main applications are in the field of industrial automation for quality assurance purposes.

MultiSight features include:

  • Stand alone vision sensor
  • Easy handling and setup
  • Compact, sturdy industrial housing with IP 67 rating
  • Integrated lighting
  • Adjustable focus from 20mm to infinity
  • Short evaluation time (50-100ms)
  • Three evaluation methods: pattern matching, brightness and contrast
  • 10 virtual detectors
  • Individual virtual detectors can be logically linked or grouped for evaluation of different objects with several characteristics for inspection

Benefits:

  • Perform multiple inspections with one sensor
  • Simple setup using PC and configuration software
  • Multiple job storage to facilitate flexible product changeovers
  • Simple inspection tools for detecting presence or absence, completeness, position, markings, labeling, packaging, and components
  • Economical alternative to conventional vision system
