KEYENCE Announces New Artificial Intelligence Vision Sensor
Brand new technology means creating stable visual inspection programs has never been easier
Itasca, IL: KEYENCE Corporation of America, a leading supplier of sensors, measuring systems, laser markers, microscopes, and machine vision systems worldwide recently released a new vision sensor which utilizes artificial intelligence. The new IV2 Vision Sensor Series continues KEYENCE's trend of innovative new technology paired with ultimate usability. The artificial intelligence learning algorithm means that all customers have to do is teach images of good and bad parts - no vision programming knowledge is necessary for stable results.
Commenting on the implications of this artificial intelligence algorithm, Technical Marketing Manager Phil Jarzombeck said, "The AI algorithm accounts for variations in lighting, part lot differences, and even oily and dirty parts. This increase of stability and simplicity will be felt across every industry that performs automated inspection."
The IV2 was designed so anyone can program a stable program. And when a new variation of a good or bad target comes down the line, the IV2 can register it to further increase stability and repeatability of judgement. In addition the AI algorithm, the IV2 will also include:
• Lighting that is 30% brighter than conventional vision sensors, increasing detection range and eliminating noise.
• Full VGA resolution, allowing for not only minute detection but also increased range and field of view.
• SD card support, allowing for thousands of images to be saved for quality analysis.
• An optional large control panel, perfect for quickly adding new good/bad images to the AI algorithm, viewing previous images, and viewing statistics.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
