en.Wedoany.com Reported - Beckhoff has expanded its Vision Unit Lighting (VUI) series with 16 new devices and introduced several enhancements, including new functions, advanced image sensors, and cross-polarization filters.

The VUI is a compact machine vision unit that integrates a camera, lighting, and liquid lens focusing optics into a single device. According to Beckhoff, the product is designed for mechanical engineering and production environments, aiming for easy integration into control systems.

The 16 newly added devices in the series portfolio are all equipped with Sony Pregius S image sensors. The company states that these devices offer resolutions of 5.1, 8.1, and 12.4 megapixels, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Some devices also offer a cross-polarization filter option, further expanding the range of applications. This unit addresses additional vision tasks by suppressing surface reflections caused by lighting. Beckhoff states that in this way, features can be captured with high contrast and without reflections, even when acquiring images through glossy or transparent surfaces such as glass, plastic, and water.

The VUI is part of the Beckhoff vision portfolio, which combines machine vision hardware and software with EtherCAT technology. Beckhoff Vision utilizes industrial PCs and the universal TwinCAT automation software to run all systems on a PC-based control platform.
