The
new OsiSense XUW Vision Sensor's typical
applications include presence or absence, orientation or position, sorting, or integrity of products/parts. These applications appear frequently in the automotive, packaging, material handling, assembly machines, and food and beverage market segments.
- Integrate it easily in your machines
A compact size (65 x 45 x 45 mm) which
enables easy installation at the point where the parts must be checked.
- Reduce configuration time
Configure the sensorin only 3 simple steps.
- Evolve with your production
The use of 5 mixable interface tools allows
adding up to 64 simultaneous checks on a part and the capability to register up to 64 programs in the XUW sensor memory.

What is the operating principle of the OsiSense XUW Vision Sensor?
Answer>
Success story 1
Background: A
manufacturer of parts and equipment for commercial trucks required a solution for part inspection after the manual assembly and before the welding process of an exhaust pipe for trucks.
Problem: They needed to
make sure that different parts such as mechanical supports and other locks were in place before transferring the part to the welding zone.
Solution: The solution for
this application was the new OsiSense XUW Vision Sensor from Telemecanique Sensors. By using 4 simple pattern matching tools they were able to confirm the presence the correct positioning of all parts in the exhausting pipe before starting welding process.
Success story 2
Background: A system integrator required a solution for a well known food manufacturer. They
needed to detect good-shaped chocolate cookies versus broken or incomplete cookies on a conveying line before reaching the packaging area.
Problem: The problem relies in the fact that the cookies, besides having a relatively irregular shape
they are also present in different orientation patterns when traveling on a conveyor having to check 20 cookies per second.
Solution: The new OsiSense XUW Vision Sensor is ideal for this type of applications. Using the
correct lighting accessory and the right embedded tools for parts inspection (gray scale and contrast comparison) we were able to differentiate complete cookies from broken cookies and have only quality product in the packaging area.

What is the operating principle of the OsiSense XUW Vision Sensor?
First of all, an application needs to be identified and evaluated to make sure it is suitable for the vision sensor; then, the criteria to differentiate “good” parts from “bad” parts needs to be defined.
Next, the vision sensor is configured via intuitive software (CD-ROM included or downloadable software from website). An image of the “good” part is taken and the parameters to reject “bad” parts are set and saved in the sensor’s memory.
Once this step is done, the PC is no longer required and the inspection results are obtained via discrete outputs or Ethernet IP network connection.
