The Checker 3G series of vision  sensors offer simple setup, integrated part detection, lighting, I/O and job change all in a rugged IP67 housing. The user chooses whether to configure the sensor as a presence sensor or measurement sensor. Presence sensors verify that features are present. Measurement sensors verify that features are the correct height, width and/or diameter. In either mode, there is no limit to the number of part features that a single device can check. Checker is also able to detect and track over 6,000ppm in varying positions along the production line, overcoming imprecise part positioning and delivering consistent, precisely timed pass/fall results. It does not require a PC for setup. Instead, the SensorView Teach Pendant, with its One-Click Setup TM technology, allows the user to set up jobs right on the line and has them running in a matter of minutes. A single teach pendant can be used to set up any number of sensors and can remain connected for real-time application monitoring.
