External Strobe and Sensor

For continuous motion or high-speed indexing applications, an external strobe and sensor may be required to freeze each part before the image can be acquired.

When choosing your part sensor, you must consider the time interval between the part passing into the sensing zone and an electrical signal being generated. When there is a large variation in process speed, considerable variation in location of the part within the Field of View (FOV) may result. The FOV specified for the VS-1 Smart Camera should be large enough to cover the variation in location.
