Vision sensor for automation
VISOR® technology in a SensoPart vision sensor provides a simple and effective solution for automation tasks and is ready for use with just a few mouse clicks. The vision sensors are equipped with standard communication protocols and universal interfaces, allowing the vision sensor to be connected to a PLC. Thanks to the integrated software, the vision sensor speaks the same 'language' as a PLC or PC. The software supplied with the vision sensor is available to download free of charge.
Built-in lens
The standard vision sensor is equipped with a built-in lens. A C-mount version allows a different lens to be used for specific applications. The vision sensor has an Ethernet connection that supports PROFINET.
Image resolution and trigger sensor
For applications where products pass the vision sensor at high speed, the image resolution can be adjusted. At a lower image resolution, images are processed more quickly by the vision sensor. A trigger sensor can be connected to the vision sensor so that an image is captured at exactly the right moment.

Vision sensor with 5 megapixel image resolution
The VISOR® V50 is a vision sensor with a resolution of 5 megapixels. With 2560 x 1936 pixels, the VISOR® V50 offers an image resolution three times higher than that of standard vision sensors (VGA or 1.5 MP). These V50 sensors deliver an image quality that was previously only achievable with expensive, complex vision systems.
Unique on the market
With a resolution of 5 megapixels, the VISOR® V50 is unique on the market. Thanks to the global shutter, the entire image is captured at once by the image sensor, after which processing can take place. With a rolling shutter, the image is instead captured line by line. This can result in image distortion when parts are moving.
High-resolution vision sensor with integrated lens
Compact design, easy installation: The 5-megapixel VISOR® V50 vision sensor from SensoPart is now available with an integrated lens and illumination. This makes the vision sensor unique on the market! A new version with increased depth of field enables flexible detection of objects at varying distances.
In addition to the various C-mount versions of the V50 vision sensor, SensoPart has launched the VISOR® V50 M version with an integrated lens. The M stands for "medium field of view", with a focal length of 20 mm.
Robotic vision sensor
To integrate the VISOR® Robotic vision sensor even more effectively into robotic applications, SensoPart has developed the URCap and KUKA app. This software enables the Robotic vision sensor to communicate easily with a robot.
Robotic vision sensor variants
The Robotic vision sensor is available with different light sources: infrared LED, red LED and white LED. The Robotic vision sensor is equipped with an integrated lens as standard. If this lens is not suitable, a C-mount version is available. The C-mount is suitable, for example, for long distances requiring a long focal length. The Robotic vision sensor has integrated and standardised interfaces (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP).
URCap
The Robotic vision sensor is UR-certified and can easily communicate with a Universal Robot using URCap. Calibration is carried out using the URCap software and a calibration plate. In addition to using the calibration plate, the vision sensor can also be calibrated using 'point-to-pair'.
KUKA app
With the VISOR® Robotic KUKA app from SensoPart, communication between VISOR® vision sensors and KUKA robots can be configured in just a few steps. The KUKA app enables simple and quick configuration. As with URCap, the vision sensor can be calibrated using 'point-to-pair'.

Vision sensor for object detection and recognition
With the SensoPart vision sensor for object recognition, you can do more than simply detect a product. The object sensor also performs distance measurements and shape checks. This allows the sensor to determine whether the product meets all predefined conditions. Even small deviations in a product are detected.
Is the product upside down?
The position or orientation of a product is particularly important during an assembly process. In addition to detecting deviations, the vision sensor also checks whether a product is upside down or in the correct position.
The vision sensor for object detection checks the correct feed position, inspects the presence and completeness of parts and counts them. The VISOR® Object sensor monitors assembly processes, recognises parts and distinguishes between them. Read more about vision sensors for object detection.
Vision sensor with artificial intelligence (Object AI)
VISOR® Object AI from SensoPart makes machine vision easier than ever before. The system offers the same flexibility as VISOR® Object Advanced, with the addition of the "Classification (AI)" detector, which makes object classification even simpler and more reliable.
200 classifications
For presence checks, objects can be evaluated as "pass"/"fail" or reliably classified into 200 categories—for example, to ensure that the correct product is fed into and processed by a machine.
Train the detector with AI
The sensor is set up in just a few steps and requires no specialist knowledge. Thanks to integrated artificial intelligence (AI), the detector learns distinguishing features based on just a few sample images. Even process and product variations, such as different products within batches, stains, strong reflections, flexible parts, etc., can easily be taught to the detector with just a few mouse clicks. Read more about VISOR® Object AI.

Vision sensor UV - Making invisible markings visible
The VISOR® UV from SensoPart, with integrated UV illumination, can evaluate markings, labels and codes that are invisible to the human eye. With its wide range of functions, the VISOR® UV is unique on the market and opens up a multitude of new applications.
The only one on the market
The VISOR® UV is the only vision sensor on the market with integrated UV illumination that also offers comprehensive image processing functions. For evaluating fluorescent markings, SensoPart users have access to the same comprehensive detection tools as with the classic illumination variants (white, red, infrared) of the VISOR® Allround series. This opens up a wide range of applications in object detection, measurement, robotics and code reading.
Vision sensor for measuring distance, width and length
A vision sensor can perform several quality checks simultaneously. One of the most important checks is measuring dimensions during a production or assembly process. Different conditions can be set using the free configuration software supplied with the sensor. If a product does not meet the specified conditions, the vision sensor indicates this. Read more about measuring thickness and distance.
Convert coordinates to dimensions
The vision sensor can determine the position and dimensions of a product using coordinates. This allows the user to read the actual dimensions rather than pixels. The coordinates can then be used by a robot within a pick-and-place application. Read more about the pick-and-place application.
Vision sensor for code reading and product identification
The VISOR® Code Reader vision sensor for reading codes is unique in its price range. The vision sensor reads 1D barcodes, 2D Data Matrix codes and optical characters/OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
With integrated object detection, the VISOR® Code Reader can perform checks based on pattern matching, brightness, grey level and contrast. Examples include stamps or logos. An image filter with extensive configuration options ensures correct detection, even under difficult conditions. The test results can be evaluated within the vision sensor.
String comparison and regular expression
String comparison or a regular expression can be used to compare text or a code with a specific pattern. For example, this can be used to check whether a date has the correct format. With a date format of DD-MM-YYYY, the digits for DD must never exceed 31 and those for MM must never exceed 12. A PC or PLC is not required. The VISOR® Code Reader reads, among others, codes that comply with ISO and AIM. Read more about reading codes.
