NEW PRODUCT NEWS—edited by Rick Prescott

Vision Sensor and HMI Interface

A vision inspection system consisting of the Banner PresencePLUS2 vision sensor, Red Lion CL01 Operator Interface Terminal and Red Lion Edict-97 software; allows users to instantly change inspection parameters when processing multiple products requiring frequent changeover.

This new system is an excellent solution for a variety of industries including packaging, food and beverage, electronics, pharmaceutical, automotive, parts manufacturing and final assembly and all types of automated assembly and inspection. The system operates by using the PresencePLUS2 sensor and software. The user sets up the inspections to be run and saves the inspection parameters on their Windows PC. Then the user transfers the saved inspections (.inp files) from the Windows PC to the Red Lion CL01 operator interface terminal with a serial cable. The Red Lion CL01 is then ready to download the stored inspection files to the PresencePLUS2 via an RS-232 serial port and cable. Inspection changes can be done manually using the CL01ęs friendly "hot-keys" or user defined button sequences. Automatic inspection changes can also be programmed into a PLC or other interface solution for multiple product inspections.

The total solution costs less than $2000.
