.jpg) Minneapolis, MN—DECEMBER 2005—The new PresencePLUS® P4 AREA Vision Sensors from Banner Engineering Corp. are the most advanced sensing solution for inspecting the presence and shape of defined areas. The P4 AREA can perform these multiple analysis functions simultaneously at speeds up to 10,000 parts per minute. The P4 AREA 1.3 offers 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution for advanced high-resolution inspections. Including Gray Scale and BLOB (Binary Large Object) analysis, these powerful sensors start at only $995 or at $1995 for 1.3 megapixel models. “The P4 AREA family combines high-speed presence and advanced shape analysis with a single sensor,” said Dan Holste, director of Vision Products for Banner. “You just won’t find any sensor on the market that compares to this one without spending thousands of dollars more.” Applications. The P4 AREA sensors enable users to accurately perform multiple sensing functions at industry-leading throughput speeds. The P4 AREA sensors are ideal for a wide range of applications including the following: Several features of the P4 AREA sensors make them easy to use: Specifications. The compact, self-contained P4 AREA and AREA 1.3 are available with two lens positions: in-line (on the end of the housing) and right-angle (on the side of the housing). Both versions measure only 66.8 mm wide; the in-line model is 136.1 mm long and the right-angle model is just 124.5 mm long. The included mounting brackets make it easy to attach the P4 AREA sensor to machines or conveyors. The unit’s three bi-color LED indicators clearly show unit status during setup and operation. It operates on 10 to 30 V dc. Banner also offers hundreds of specialized lighting and lensing options to solve even the most challenging applications. A family of easy-to-use vision sensors. Banner’s PresencePLUS Pro vision sensor defined low-cost vision sensing. The PresencePLUS P4 GEO, P4 GEO 1.3, P4 EDGE, P4 EDGE 1.3, P4 BCR, P4 AREA and P4 AREA 1.3 continue this trend of making it easy and affordable to adopt vision sensing capabilities at multiple points in user applications. One reason Banner’s PresencePLUS vision sensor products are so successful is because they share a user interface that many consider the easiest to use on the market today. It is available in nine languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. With PresencePLUS’s intuitive interface, even operators with only basic computer skills can easily set up an inspection.
