Baumer Vision Sensors

Vision Inspection Without the Complexity

• Integrated CMOS image sensor combined with built-in white LED lighting means the sensor arrives ready to capture usable images out of the box, without sourcing and aligning a separate light source.
• Resolution up to 1.6 MP (1280 × 1024 pixels) and accuracy up to 0.1 mm (model-dependent) cover inspection tasks from basic presence/absence checks through precise dimensional measurement.
• Teach mode lets the sensor be trained on a new object or production change directly on the line, without reprogramming from scratch, useful when a product changeover happens and the inspection criteria need to shift with it.

Fast Enough to Keep Up With the Line

• Response time under 10 ms and frame rates up to 60 fps mean the sensor can inspect at real production speeds rather than becoming the bottleneck in a fast-moving line.
• Adjustable sensitivity, set via software, lets the detection threshold be tuned to the specific application rather than relying on a single fixed setting.

Built for Factory-Floor Conditions

• IP67 ingress protection combined with an industrial-grade plastic and metal alloy enclosure resists dust, moisture, shock, and chemical exposure, conditions that would degrade a standard machine-vision camera not built for the plant floor.
• Operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C, storage -20°C to +70°C, covers most factory environments without needing a climate-controlled enclosure.
• Weighs approximately 150 g, keeping the physical footprint manageable for mounting on existing machine frames and fixtures.

Flexible Mounting and Optics

• Bracket mount or direct mount options accommodate different installation constraints across production line layouts.
• Exchangeable M12 lens mount allows the optical setup to be matched to the specific working distance and field of view the application needs, rather than being locked to a fixed lens.
• Standard 2 m cable, extendable where the mounting position sits further from the control cabinet.

Connects Into Existing Automation Infrastructure

• Supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and TCP/IP protocols, plus Ethernet and RS232 interfaces, so the sensor integrates with both modern and legacy control architectures without needing a protocol gateway.
• Digital outputs in PNP/NPN configuration cover simpler discrete-signal integrations where a full network connection isn't required.
• 24V DC input with maximum 2.5W power consumption keeps electrical integration straightforward on existing 24V control power.

Straightforward Configuration and Diagnostics

• Configured through Baumer GAPI or Vision Configurator software, connect via Ethernet or RS232, then adjust parameters, sensitivity, and monitor device status through an interface built for both first-time and experienced users.
• LED status indicators on the unit itself give an at-a-glance operational status check without needing to open a software tool for routine monitoring.

Applications

• Automated visual inspection – catching defects, verifying assembly completeness, or confirming part presence on a moving line.
• Sorting – distinguishing between part variants or grades based on visual characteristics.
• Measurement – dimensional checks up to 0.1 mm accuracy, model-dependent, across a measurement range up to 250 mm.
• Positioning – confirming part orientation or location before a downstream process step, such as robotic pick-and-place or machining.
• Quality control in industrial automation – general-purpose inspection tasks across manufacturing lines where a dedicated custom vision system would be overkill.

About the VeriSens Platform

Baumer's vision sensor lineup is built as a modular system that scales to the application rather than forcing every use case through one fixed hardware configuration. The VeriSens XC series carries forward the full functionality of the XF series while adding stronger adaptability for more complex inspection tasks, a fully integrated flash controller, C-mount lens connector, CCD sensor technology for high-quality image capture, and a modular tube system that lets the hardware be configured around the application rather than the other way around. The intelligent Color FEX® 3D color assistant is built specifically to make setup fast, even for color-based inspection tasks that would otherwise require significant manual tuning.

The newer VeriSens XC700/XC800 models push processing speed further, in many applications roughly halving image processing time or meaningfully expanding inspection scope within the same cycle time. Sophisticated code-reading algorithms improve reading reliability under real industrial conditions, and integrated Industrial Ethernet support keeps integration and cabling effort low.
