Vision sensor makes the invisible visible
The VISOR® UV from SensoPart with integrated UV illumination can evaluate markings, inscriptions and codes that are invisible to the human eye. With its wide range of functions, the new member of the VISOR® product family is unique on the market and opens up a variety of new applications.
The effect is similar to the well-known "magic ink": Inks, lacquers, chalks and adhesives enriched with luminescent substances, so-called luminophores, are invisible to the human eye. They only light up when irradiated with ultraviolet light, in different colors depending on the type of substance used. This phenomenon can be used in automation applications to evaluate hidden markings on objects that are invisible to the naked eye - for example, markings after quality tests have been passed, seals on screws with luminescent paint, invisible adhesive beads, or data matrix codes for product identification.
The VISOR® UV is the only vision sensor with integrated UV illumination on the market that also offers very comprehensive image processing functions. For the evaluation of the luminescent markings, the SensoPart user has the same extensive detection tools at their disposal as the classic illumination variants (white, red, infrared) of the VISOR® Allround series. This opens up a wide range of application possibilities in the areas of object detection, measurement, robotics and code reading.
