Two new 1.3 megapixel vision sensors from Banner Engineering allow highly detailed automated inspection of large parts for about half the cost of comparable units. Priced below € 2,800, the Presence Plus P4 Geo and Edge 1.3 sensors capture minute details of multiple features at ranges from a few centimetres up to several metres (depending on lens used). As a result, one unit can perform inspections that formerly required multiple sensing devices. The P4Geo checks for geometric pattern match over a large search area, while the P4Edge identifies transitions between light and dark areas along a line, providing a simpler but faster inspection. Able to detect subtle difference in target features, the sensors are designed for quality control use in industries requiring defect-free products.
