  1. Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 110 Image processing without the need for specialist knowledge

  2. Intelligent camera SIMATIC VS 710 SIMATIC Machine VisionIndustrial image processing from Siemens General purpose machine vision systems Price Application specific image processing Application specific vision sensors Vision sensor SIMATIC VS 110 Flexibility

  3. Application specific image processing • Intelligent vision sensor SIMATIC VS 110 • Specially designed for the application „outline recognition“ • Image processing as Plug & Play solution • No image processing expert needed • Ideal also for machine builders and end users Application specific image processing

  4. SIMATIC VS 110 - Ready to Use • Complete scope of supply • Sensor head (camera)with a pre-adjusted lens • Processing unit • Lighting unit (infrared) • Fast installation • Set-up software for PC,for precise adjustment • Simple teaching – no programming! • Push key – move „Good“ part through the range of vision like in operation – teach-in is done! Application specific image processing

  5. Outline inspection • SIMATIC VS 110 solves three tasks in a single step • Correct part? • Correctly aligned? • And undamaged? • SIMATIC VS 110 compares the contour of the • test objects with the taught „Good“ part Outline inspection

  6. Range of application • Inspection of small parts • in infeed systems for assembly machines • and many other conveyor-type applications • Type recognition to prevent mixing with different parts • Faulty or damaged parts can be ejected • Correct parts that are reversed can be rotated Outline inspection Only correct parts are fed in! No mechanical retooling work - infeed equipment can be changed over for different batches and types in a second, by the operator of the machine!

  7. How does SIMATIC VS 110 work? Lighting unit(infrared, backlighting) Pneumatic valves can be activated directly Outline inspection Conveyor mediumwith test objects Sensor head(camera) Processing unit Remote control (via any PLC)

  8. Which test objects can be inspected? • Small parts • from 4 x 4 x 1 mm to 59 x 45 x 20 mm • must pass by in one or two distinctive views • Features relevant for inspection • must be clearly recognizable in the contour • Typical examples: • Screws, bolts: Type recognition, thread present? • Injection-molded components: Test objects correctly formed, correctly aligned for infeed? • Pharmaceutical products: Tablets correctly formed/broken? • Confectionary: Sweets or chocolates correctly formed/mis-shaped? Outline inspection

  9. Which types of conveyor can be used? • Various different infeed systems • Vibrating conveyors (spiral and linear systems, ...) • Conveyor belts • Workholder carousels • Gripper units (pick-and-place, robots) • Fast processing technique • Up to 25 processings per second (under certain conditions even more ) • at transport speeds of up to 15 m/min Outline inspection

  10. What test results does SIMATIC VS 110 supply? • Output OK_A • good part in view A • Output OK_B • good part in view B • Output NOK • Faulty or damaged part, resp. • good part in wrong view (i.e. in different view than the taught ones) Outline inspection

  11. Where do the „Bad“ parts go? • Pneumatic valves or miniature relays can be directly activated • for ejecting or rotating the test objects • Time response of the outputs is adjustable for manipulation at the correct point of the process • Ejection by • Blast nozzle • Pneumatic cylinder • Magnet or • Downstream PLC with separate ejection control ! Outline inspection ! A stand-alone solution can be implemented - without an additonal PLC!

  12. Application example 1 -Conveyor belt with blast nozzles • Application with auto triggering • Ejection of the incorrect parts by blast nozzles • Conveyor belt with constant speed • Direct activation of the valves, without an additional PLC Only correct parts are processed Application examples Incorrect part - is ejected Correct but reversed part - is fed in again

  13. Application example 2 - Workholder carousels • Application with external triggering • Ejection of the incorrect parts by a separate PLC, e.g. SIMATIC S7-200 • Connection to the PLC via digital I/O of SIMATIC VS 110 Lighting unit Ejection route Application examples Correct parts Sensor head

  14. Application example 3 - Rhein Nadel Automation infeed system • Vibrating conveyor container with conveyor belt • Ejection of faulty parts • Correct parts that are reversed are blown back into the container Application examples Only correct parts enter the downstream machine for assembly

  15. Installation within 30 minutes! • Mounting of the sensor, processing unit and lighting unit according to the installation instructions • Start the set-up software on a Windows PC, connect the PC to the processing unit • Accurately adjust the sensor head and the lighting unit - with the support of the live image on the PC screen • Permanently fix the sensor head and the lighting unit • Ready for teach-in! Installation and Teaching Stable test results during operation by precise adjustment with set-up software Set-up

  16. Teaching instead of programming • Teaching by showing „Good“ parts in one or two preferred views • Teach-in is performed • directly with the keys on the processing unit or • in the case of remote teach-in via a PLC • A new type can be taught during normal manufacturing! • Up to 15 different parts are stored in non-volatile memory in the processing unit Installation and Teaching Changeover for different batches or types in a second, while production keeps running! Teaching

  17. Technical data - Processing unit and sensor head LCD screen Keys Sensor head IP 65 Installation and Teaching RS 232(for PC) Digital I/O Connection for sensor head Connection for lighting unit Powersupply Processing unit

  18. Technical data - Lighting unit Wide range of fixing possibilities Strobe lighting as backlighting, infrared LEDs Installation and Teaching Fixing possibility for surrounding panel Power supply, suitable for trailing, pluggable Lighting unit

  19. Customer advantages (1) • 100% check of all parts in the production • Reduced machine downtime • Higher availability of the machines • Higher flexibility • Fast changeover of the infeed system for different batches and types Customeradvantages Perfect for retrofitting in existing machines!

  20. Customer advantages(2) • Low-priced solution • Low initial and running costs • Reduction of the mechanical and electrical expenses(no mech. baffle plates, no binary sensors) • No special courses, no programming needed • Mounting, commissioning and service with existing personnel • Operation by the machine personnel Customeradvantages Ideal for end users and machine builders!
