Vision sensor for recording image of part to be tested in quality control area during production processes, has image pickup sensor, where image data read from sensor is stored in image storage that is connected to software processing unit

摘要

The sensor (1) has an image pickup sensor (2) generating image data, and a software processing unit (4) for evaluating the image data. A hardware processing unit (3) is arranged between the pickup sensor and the software processing unit, so that the image data is transferred from the sensor to the hardware processing unit and from the hardware processing unit to the software processing unit. A local image storage (9) is assigned to the hardware processing unit. The image data read from the sensor is temporarily stored in the image storage that is connected to the software processing unit.
