With its exchangeable lens concept, new output logic solution and expandable IO, the Inspector I20 from Sick can solve a wider range of applications.
The Inspector series consists of compact, easy-to-use, and reliable 2D Vision sensors with integrated lighting, image evaluation and Ethernet interface. The devices were designed to solve a diverse range of applications. And, they are capable of checking parts in any orientation and position and a predictable response time. The vision sensor´s robust design is suited for difficult applications and its intelligent and fast evaluation algorithms enable Inspector to keep up with high process speeds.
Flexible field of view
Inspector I20 allows easy replacement of optical lenses for different distances and fields of view while maintaining a high enclosure rating (IP67). This, together with integrated lighting, makes the Inspector I20 very convenient for both end users and system integrators who want to solve a large number of different applications using only one kind of device.
Flexible output
Logical output options are available in the Inspector I20. With simple and/ or logic, multiple inspections can be combined to give the end user more detailed feedback. These inspection results can be used for sorting based on defects or for detailed control of other process steps in the production chain, for example.
Flexible I/O functionality
Extended I/O support is available via an external I/O box. With the IO box, it will be possible to extend the number of outputs from 3 to 16. All of the outputs can be user defined with logical operations or be used for single inspection results. Moreover, the IO box enables more inputs as well. Input selection up to 16 taught reference objects is now possible without compromising other input functions like trigger, encoder and teach control.More functionality through flexibility: the new Inspector I20 is more versatile than nearly any other 2D Vision sensor.
