In image processing for industrial automation, three aspects are especially crucial in sensor technology: performance, flexibility, and usability. Simple vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors and are similarly powerful as camera systems.

For image processing in industrial automation, vision sensors are often recommended. With its Simple Vision product portfolio, Leuze offers the right solution for nearly every application.(Image: Leuze) — For image processing in industrial automation, vision sensors are often recommended.

Vision sensors are the "eyes of industrial automation." These small marvels enable machines to see and interpret their surroundings. They are easier to integrate and operate than camera systems. The devices are suitable for numerous tasks: they are used for presence or absence detection, part detection, inspection, code reading, measurement or counting tasks, and print quality verification. When choosing the optimal sensors, it is worth looking at the performance for the corresponding detection, identification, and inspection tasks. Additionally, the configuration and parameterization of the sensors should be as simple as possible to save time and costs. The Sensor People from Leuze have implemented a product portfolio with their Simple Vision concept that meets these requirements and also enables a quick and uncomplicated entry into vision technology.
