Sensor Description
The PresencePLUS P4 EDGE Sensor is an easy-to-use vision sensor with advanced visual inspection capabilities. With
minimal knowledge of vision systems, a user can quickly set up the Sensor and run an inspection that tests all products and
accurately rejects bad products on a production line.
Inspections are set up using a remote personal computer (PC) or by activating the Remote Teach input. The Sensor captures
images, and its software analyzes the images using one or more Vision tools to pass or fail the product. The PC is not required
for running inspections after the inspection files have been stored in the Sensor’s memory.
Inspection setup involves focusing the lens and selecting the appropriate Analysis tools or by activating the Remote Teach
input. The full range of inspection parameters can be established either automatically or manually. The automatic Teach
function eliminates the iterative process of determining correct parameters.
The Sensor accommodates both translational and rotational variation. Parts moving down a production line or web need not be
oriented in exactly the same way.
The Sensor is self-learning and easy to operate, with both basic and advanced options. For basic options, new users can follow
the guided Setup sequence. Advanced users can override automatic settings and create highly customized inspections.
