Smart camera in fast execution

For nearly fifty years, Vierpool has focused - together with its technology partners - on creating new solutions with both existing and new, innovative products. One of these partners is Datasensing, which supplies, among other things, smart cameras for lightning-fast and reliable detection of a variety of product features in automated lines. This includes the new P3x series smart camera, which has up to 5 MP resolution and double the speed of the P2x generation.

Vierpool provides advanced vision technology including Datasensing's P-series smart cameras. Recently, in addition to the P2x series, the P3x generation was introduced. These cameras detect in black and white or color and feature Micro Video and C-mount lens options. 

Features

The P3x cameras are equipped with so-called Iluminator LEDs available in four versions with white, blue, red and infrared light, respectively. They contain TiR lenses that in combination with the CMOS imager contribute to maximum image quality. Other features include resolution of up to 5 MP and a speed that is twice as fast as the P2x generation. In addition, all accessories of the P2x models are compatible with the P3x series. The smartness of the cameras is realized through the IMPACT software interface that provides the user with over one hundred inspection tools. Any Add-on licenses provide the ability to take advantage of advanced Datasensing algorithms including Artificial Intelligence and deep learning

Applications

The various features make the smart cameras suitable for many applications ranging from checking packaging and sorting or counting objects to measuring them. They can also check labels for both text (OCR) and images where reading 1D and 2D codes are also among the possibilities. Finally, cameras are used to transmit the position of an object to a robot (arm) that uses this data to pick up objects.
