.jpg) MINNEAPOLIS, MN - April 10, 2007 - PresencePLUS Pro vision sensor now features a compact, metal, IP68-rated camera, with the option of an integrated light or lens cover. The sealed, IP68-rated Pro accurately and reliably performs advanced machine vision inspections in challenging industrial and washdown environments. A sealed camera with a full-featured controller is priced as low as $2580. “Our IP68-rated vision cameras allow them to be located anywhere that water, dust and other contaminants might normally be a problem for general vision products,” said Dan Holste, director for Banner vision sensors. “Pair the camera with one of our powerful controllers featuring a comprehensive suite of inspection tools and you have an easy-to-apply, vision inspection solution of extraordinary sophistication for significantly less than comparable systems.” Applications. The rugged camera is designed for use in dirty industrial environments including automotive, assembly, printing, food handling and packaging. Examples include the following: • 360° geometric fixture-free inspection • Error proofing • Assembly verification • Fast pattern presence/absence recognition • Flaw detection • Orientation confirmation • Sealed cap and flap verification • Fill level detection • 2D and 1D bar code reading • Color verification and matching The PresencePLUS Pro incorporates a remote camera with a controller. All controllers include the powerful suite of gray scale tools—including Locate, Pattern Find and Count, Geometric Find and Count, Edge, Object, Blob and Average Gray Scale—that deliver extraordinary precision and versatility, for the most demanding inspections. Color models also offer the Color Match tool to inspect for a specific color or color range taught to the sensor. Several features of the Pro make it particularly easy to set up and operate: • Compact camera with separate DIN-mountable controller • Convenient 20-pin removable terminal block • Universal PresencePLUS software with three-step point-and-click setup • Ethernet, serial and flexible discrete I/O in the same full-featured sensor • Direct connectivity to EtherNet/IP and ModbusTCP industrial networks • ActiveX utilities for exporting inspections, images and results • Live video without a PC • Remote TEACH • Fourteen configurable discrete I/O (NPN/PNP) • A complete selection of lenses, lighting, brackets and accessories • 10 to 30V dc operation A family of affordable vision sensors. Banner’s PresencePLUS Pro and PresencePLUS P4 OMNI vision sensors deliver affordable full-featured image-based inspection capabilities—at an unprecedented price. The P4 AREA, P4 GEO, P4 EDGE and P4 BCR dedicated-function sensors offer specific tools for solving the most common inspection challenges. 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 the PresencePLUS’s intuitive interface, even operators with only basic computer skills can easily set up an inspection. About Banner.
