Inspection

Reliable detection in every situation

Is the object present? How is it lying on the belt? Is a detail missing or has it been incorrectly assembled?  These and many other applications can be reliably automated with sensors from SensoPart. 

Typical applications

Colour and object detection in one device - the VISOR® Object vision sensor
Error? No chance!

One sensor for multiple inspections: The VISOR® Object vision sensor in the color version combines color and object detection in a single device: He can therefore, for example, check the presence of a lid and at the same time check the correct color of the lid.

Reliable detection of challenging surfaces with the blue light sensor
BlueLight sees more

The sub-miniature proximity sensor FT 10 BlueLight is specially designed for the detection of objects with strongly light-absorbing surfaces – or example of black plastic parts. It even guarantees reliable detection with very reflective or transparent objects. Tiny in size, it can be very easily integrated in production lines.

Presence checking, counting and detection tasks with the vision sensor
Always keeps track of everything

A 2D sensor equipped with a variety of detectors offers countless advantages, particularly with components that are inaccurately fed. From simply checking the presence of components or counting objects, to inspection tasks – VISOR® Object is always a reliable solution. It recognises, for example, whether the correct component is arriving in the right position and whether an attachment is possibly missing.

Code reader and object recognition in one device - the VISOR® Allround vision sensor
For combined inspection tasks

VISOR® Allround is a true multi-talent among vision sensors. The Allround sensor version unites the functions of VISOR® Object (including calibration, pattern matching, contour, calliper, BLOB) with the powerful tools of VISOR® Code Reader. As a result, it is easily possible to combine tasks, such as, checking the presence and position of a sticker with simultaneous part identification through code reading.

Reliable object detection with the diffuse sensor including I/O link and large working range
Present or not?

The FT 55-RLHM shows off its talent when normal scanning sensors reach their limits, for example, when detecting flat gaskets, Thanks to its small hysteresis – adjustable via I/O-Link – and large operating range, it guarantees the necessary reliability for utmost quality inspections during object detection.

Description
Check of the correct feeding of screws in the right position

The quantity of screws required for battery pack assembly is stored in a bunker feed system  and fed from there to the screwing systems accordingly. For smooth production, it is important that misaligned screws are detected by the sensor and only those in the correct position are fed to the screwing system.

Description
Detection of the screws in the feeder

The quantity of screws required for battery pack assembly is stored in a bunker feed system and fed from there to the screwing systems individually. For subsequent control of the correct position of the screws , they must be detected at a specific position in the feed system in order to provide a trigger signal.
