Balluff has introduced a new class of sensors – an optical sensor – that fills the gap between conventional discrete sensors and vision systems. Sharpshooter is a true optical sensor that combines the flexibility of a vision system and the simplicity of a photoelectric sensor. It is not a simplified vision system; it's a sensor that uses vision technology to provide more powerful sensing capability. Sharpshooter's small size (58x52x40 mm) allows it to be placed virtually anywhere a photoelectric sensor can be mounted to provide reliable part and product detection, part configuration, and dimensional and/or position confirmation.
Primary Benefits: o Easy 3-step software setup o Simple hardware platform with multiple functions o Minimal vision knowledge needed Sharpshooter™ can replace up to 32 sensors in an error proofing process and can take the place of up to seven different discrete or analog sensor functions. It provides reliable part or feature presence/absence, position detection, and dimensional verification.
