Vision Sensor

Concept

This Series has been discontinued in September 2025.

    Concept

    The vision sensor is the key device on the shop floor that detects data necessary for e-F@ctory in real time. Mitsubishi Electric vision sensors which support CC-Link IE Field Network Basic and SLMP *1 are highly compatible with Mitsubishi Electric factory automation products. Measuring results are seamlessly coordinated with the edge computing level, realizing smooth analysis for reducing TCO *2.

    • *1.Seamless Message Protocol
    • *2.Total Cost of Ownership

    VS80 (Out of production)

    Equipped with PatMax RedLine ®*3, the VS80 can identify works traveling at high speed. Its compact footprint easily fits into space-constrained area, hard-to-reach area, and is installable on the robot hands. PoE equipped stand-alone vision sensor with reduced wiring. Monochrome modeles and color modeles are available.

    *3.High-speed/high-accuracy pattern matching algorithm

    VS70 (Out of production)

    Equipped with PatMax RedLine ®, the VS70 can identify works traveling at high speed. Lightings, lenses, and filters can be selected from a wide range of option products, allowing customization according to customer requirements. Monochrome models and color models are available.

    VS20 (Out of production)

    Simple presence/absence checks can be done. Monochrome modeles and color modeles which support color verification are available. Even novice users can make a setting easily and quickly. The design can be changed between in-line and right-angle according to the installation space
