Sick Inspector PIM60 sensor challenges camera performance
1 min read
Sick has developed a vision sensor with dimension verification, position detection and intelligent measurement capability that it believes challenges 2D smart camera performance. The Inspector PIM60 will support a wide range of high speed quality inspection, picking and assembly applications.
Sick expects the Inspector PIM60 will be of interest to machine builders and systems integrators, as well as customers in a wide range of industry applications including FMCG and packaging, electronics and automotive parts manufacture.
The Sick Inspector PIM60 provides integral quality inspection with a capability to measure diameters, angles and variable distances. Its new, versatile measuring tools make it possible to verify dimensions and assess product acceptability, with pass or fail verification.
Sophisticated calibration capability enables reliable inspection of moving or rotating parts, even when the sensor is tilted or using wide angle lenses. The results calibration function also makes it possible to output measured values as millimetres, so that they can be used directly for robot or gripper control.
The Sick Inspector PIM60's integral web server enables operators to monitor production processes simply with an easy-to-use on-screen interface that can be customised to meet customers' graphic and layout requirements, facilitating visualised data interpretation.
As easy to set up and configure out-of-the-box as any high performance sensor, the Inspector PIM60 offers broad connectivity enabling simple or complex data to be output over multiple platforms and protocols. The results can be output via Ethernet/IP or TCP/IP.
