Featuring the

PresencePLUS® P4

GEO

Vision Sensor

Overview

The PresencePLUS P4 GEO is a
vision sensor that inspects an area
for features in any orientation or
location. Parts to be inspected
can travel randomly through the
sensing area, saving the cost and
complexity of hard fixturing.

• 360° pattern match

• High-speed sensing; can exceed
1500 parts per minute, depending
on the inspection

• User-friendly setup

• Remote TEACH

• Live video feed without a PC

• $995 price

The P4 GEO is a self-contained
vision sensor – no external
controller is necessary.

360° Pattern Matching

PASS PASS FAIL

Vision Sensors

• During Setup, the user identifies a section of
the image containing the target pattern in the
sensor’s field of view (FOV).

• A template of the pattern is generated for the
GEO Count tool.

• The template is stored in the sensor’s non­volatile memory. (If the sensor power is cycled,
the inspection will be saved.)

• The sensor searches

• When inspected images contain matching
patterns, the inspected part will “PASS.”

Inspection Inspection

Change

• The P4 GEO
inspects an ROI
for missing,
incorrect or
“smudged”
characters.

NOTE: Remote TEACH changes the GEO Count tool reference pattern only; it does not change the exposure time, ROI, or sensor

settings. When Remote TEACH will be used to teach new patterns for future similar inspections, initial setup must be carefully
configured to accommodate all of the inspections.

Banner Engineering Corp. • Minneapolis, MN USA

• When the date code changes, the GEO Count
tool must be taught the new pattern.

• Inspections taught via Remote TEACH are
saved in volatile memory. (If the sensor power
is cycled, the inspection must be re-taught.)

Correct Container Lid Inspection Application

Objective:

Verify that dairy product cartons
have the correct lids, preventing
the potentially costly return of a
shipment.

Sensors/Components:

- P4 GEO P4GR

- 8 mm Lens LCF08

- LEDWA80X80M White Area Light

- QS30L Trigger Sensor

Operation:

Barcode reader verifies base
container product and recalls
proper lid inspection file in the P4
GEO. The GEO performs a 360°
Geometric Count (GEO Count)
inspection to verify correct lids and
reject containers with incorrect
lids.

Correct Part Verification Application

Objective

Verify that the correct parts are
ejected from a feeder bowl. As
fasteners eject from the feeder
bowl, a correct fastener in any
orientation must be verified and an
incorrect fastener must be rejected.

Sensors/Components:

- P4 GEO P4GI

- 8 mm Lens LCF08

- LEDRA80X80M Visible Red
Area Light

- D10 Trigger Sensor

Operation:

The P4 GEO will verify the presence
of correct fasteners in any
orientation.
