SensoPart’s code reader with integrated object detection has already convinced countless users. The new VISOR® V20 code reader now also includes an OCR detector for optical character analysis. By combining three functions: object detection, code reading and OCR in one compact device, the sensor manufacturer from Gottenheim, Germany offers a performance scope that is unique amongst vision sensors.

Fourfold resolution
New hardware with a 1.3 megapixel image chip enables successful use in applications where a standard VGA resolution would flounder. These are generally applications in which one or several small codes are to be detected within a large search range. For example, up to 48 codes can be detected on a microplate for an automated pipetting system in just one reading cycle. And all this in a compact, heavy-duty, IP 67 rated housing with integrated imaging, optics, lighting and sensor intelligence.

Additional imaging options
As is standard with sensors from the VISOR® V10 series, the variable focus can be adapted to virtually any operating range. If the full image resolution is not required in applications, the V20 offers additional imaging options: the user can choose between different image sections and three different software-simulated focal widths (6, 12 and 25 mm). The sensor can, therefore, be flexibly adjusted to different object sizes and detection ranges without the need to change the lens or alter the mounting position.

Increased speed
The reading speed has again been noticeably increased, in comparison to that of VISOR® V10: The V20 processor is 40 % faster and enables up to 50 code readings per second. The sensor is now also fitted with a RS232 interface, which saves use of an external adapter. With regard to installation, operating software and interface protocols, VISOR® V20 is entirely backward compatible with the proven VISOR® V10 series.
