One Update, Two Breakthroughs for VISOR vision sensor

The "Contour Check" detector allows for the precise comparison of object contours with a previously taught reference contour, ensuring fast and reliable error detection. This significantly contributes to improving production quality and reducing waste. The detector is applicable across a wide range of industrial applications - from plastics processing and metalworking to assembly technology.

The new "Individual Overlays" function enables VISOR users to display relevant information and results directly in the image. For instance, it allows for colouring based on the result, which can be easily set up with just a few clicks. The immediate visualisation of all essential data facilitates system maintenance and promotes rapid error detection and correction. Additionally, the function enhances transparency in the production process, leading to greater overall acceptance.

The release also includes expanded result processing functions, including new operators for robotics applications and new measurement functions. These new functions make it easier to solve measurement tasks precisely and simply with the VISOR. It is now possible to accurately assign lines to the objects captured in the image and calculate distances to lines as well as intersections between the detected lines.

Another highlight is the newly introduced device password protection, meeting the security requirements of an increasingly connected production environment. This protection mechanism ensures that only authorized users have access to device settings, thus protecting against unwanted access and cyber threats.

The software upgrade 2.10 is now available for download for both existing and new users of the VISOR series.
