Double the focus

The Sensor People from Leuze are adding another functionality to their Simple Vision portfolio with the DCR 1048i OCV. The innovative sensor detects 1D or 2D codes and checks the imprint quality at the same time.

Owen, October 2024 – Vision sensors are the ‘eyes of industrial automation’. That is because the devices enable machines to see and interpret their surroundings. Anyone looking for a particularly powerful sensor for print quality verification can now find what they need in the DCR 1048i OCV from Leuze: It can read 1D/2D codes within one application and also check quality using the OCV process. This makes it possible to reliably determine whether the best-before date, batch or other printed information is present, complete and legible.

Optimal visual verification
OCV stands for “Optical Character Verification”. Users can teach in the vision sensor for OCV print quality verification easily, quickly and without complex parameters. All you need to do is present it with a reference image of the optimum print. The DCR 1048i OCV then reliably detects defective printing – for example, clogged print heads, low ink cartridges, or adhesion problems. Once the threshold value is set, products recognized as defective can be rejected. The DCR 1048i OCV offers system operators an efficient and flexible solution for their production process.

Simple Vision: Simple setup, efficient detection
Performance, flexibility and usability are what count when it comes to image processing sensor technology for industrial automation. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. The Sensor People from Leuze offer this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.
