1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. General description of SCS1 Smart Camera Sensor
SCS1 is an user-friendly vision sensor equipped with advanced inspection capability that assures very
precise quality controls on industrial manufacturing and automatic materials handling lines.
Quality control is based on vision techniques that consist in acquiring a reference image of the target-
object and configure the sensor in order to compare the template with the target-object images.
SCS1 can be configured either using the sensor integrated user interface, based on display and push-
buttons, or using the SCS1 graphic interface with PC connection.
The SCS1 sensor has been developed to function in a stand-alone mode. Even with PC configuration,
the digital outputs are activated only when the inspection is performed by the sensor.
SCS1 mounting and positioning are easy and immediate, thanks to a fixing bracket set that
guarantees precise regulation.
Interchangeable optics are supplied as accessories, together with integrated and external illuminators
that make SCS1 extremely flexible and suitable to many different applications.
The sensor integrated interface guarantees quick and easy setting of the main basic sensor functions.
The PC interface allows the user to fully exploit all the more advanced functions of the SCS1 sensor.
