Now including color inspection – new VeriSens vision sensors with Color FEX

Baumer has expanded its VeriSens XC series vision sensor portfolio to include models with color identification and inspection. Thanks to the new Color FEX assistant, setup is remarkably simple and reliable. Available resolutions are VGA and 1.2 megapixel.

Previously the color space (e.g. RGB) was a real challenge during setup of a color inspection task. Color FEX is a new, intelligent assistant for intuitive and quick setup of 3D color identification and definition. Object colors and their shades are automatically identified and visualized in 3D as color spheres. The resulting absence of sphere collisions ensures reliable color inspection.

In addition to color inspection with Color FEX, these new sensor models incorporate the high performance functionality of the XC series such as patented FEX image processor for stable image evaluation at varying light conditions or object colors, integrated flash controller with 48 V/4 A pulse to power and actuate external illumination and the first configurable web interface. Parameter setting of the VeriSens XC series is simple using the standardized VeriSens Application Suite software.

The new VeriSens models with color identification allow easy implementation in automation tasks in packaging, pick and pack, assembly monitoring, product encoding and quality assurance.
