Vision sensing from the source you trust.
As the prefered brand of sensors worldwide, Banner
knows the challenges of the factory oor. That’s why we
designed our line of PresencePLUS® vision sensors from
the ground up, with advanced features, easier setup and
operation, rugged design, the most value of any vision
systems in the market and, most of all, Banner reliability
and support.
A complete solution.
From a single inspection point to plant-wide vision
integration, Banner oers complete vision solutions. Vision
sensing has two major elements: hardware—the camera,
controller, lighting and brackets; and software— the control
system, graphical user interface and image algorithms.
Banner provides all of the elements to successfully deploy
vision sensing in your facility.
Visual Inspection Process
1. Acquire an image of the part.
2. Analyze the image.
Determine if the inspection passes or fails, and report the
3.
results to the manufacturing line. The part then either passes
to the next process or is rejected and removed.
1. Sensor: The sensor contains the imager, microprocessor and
I/O. The imager has an array of tiny light-sensitive cells (pixels)
that convert the target into an image. The microprocessor
analyzes the image and makes determinations about it based
on user-determined tolerances and criteria. The sensor
exports the inspection results through some type of I/O,
such as discrete, Ethernet or serial.
The lens focuses the light onto the sensor’s
2. Lens:
imager. To determine the lens focal length for an
applications, specify the field of view and
working distance.
3. Light Source:
The light source is a critical
component of any vision inspection system. Lighting is
the most powerful tool for creating contrast to amplify
the feature of interest, while minimizing other features of the
part. Selecting the best light source depends on the shape,
surface texture, color and opacity of the part.

ID, Bar Code and Traceability Solutions
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Accurately reads and grades 2D and 1D bar codes.
A traceability program is only as successful as the vision sensor that reads 2D or
1D bar codes under plant conditions. That’s why major manufacturers depend on the
industry’s most reliable sensor expert for their vision needs. Banner’s PresencePLUS® Pro
and P4 OMNI with optional bar code reading software offer tremendous power and
flexibility, for accurate high-speed bar code reading in the toughest environments.
The PresencePLUS® P4 BCR and high-resolution BCR 1.3 vision sensors have been
developed from the ground up for the most robust 2D and 1D linear bar code reading
capabilities—even when conditions and codes are less than ideal.
Whether for production traceability of direct-marked manufactured components or
to verify product lots for consumer goods, Banner PresencePLUS sensors are engineered
to oer the highest read rates in low contrast/poor visibility conditions, or where marked
or formed bar codes have degraded. The BCR is “taught” the correct codes, either with
the sensor itself or over an industrial Ethernet network (EIP or Modbus TCP/IP). Banner’s
dedicated BCR solutions keep lines moving by reading despite problems such as low
contrast, shadows, orientation, surface variations or marking variables resulting from
degraded etching, stamping or printing.
BCR models read 2D Data Matrix ECC200 and 1D linear bar codes such as
Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN-8 and EAN-13 (supports UPC-A),
UPC-E and Postnet. High-resolution BCR 1.3 models (1280 x 1024 pixels) feature 1.3
megapixel imaging that reads and grades smaller bar codes, or allows larger fields of
view. Codes and code grades can be communicated using the BCR’s serial port.
2D Stamped Bar Code Verication
Manufacturing lots can be tracked for quality assurance using a PresencePLUS Pro
bar code reader to detect and verify a subtle 2D bar code stamped into metal
parts. Advanced 2D capabilities and a Banner Low-Angle Ring Light facilitate
detection of bar codes subject to stamping quality variables.
Simultaneous Verication of Two Bar Code
The high-resolution PresencePLUS P4 BCR 1.3 delivers an extended eld of view to
read 1D linear and 2D bar codes simultaneously to verify components in an
assembly are correctly paired. Strobed ring lighting and 1.3 megapixel resolution
provide increased image repeat rates for accurate reading at full line speed.
Large Area Verication for Sorting and Die Protection
The dies in tire presses suer costly damage if the press tries to stamp tread into an
unstamped, or green, tire of the wrong size. To direct each tire to the correct press
at production line speeds, a series of six high-resolution PresencePLUS P4 BCR 1.3
vision sensors sort green tires based on bar code data printed on a label on the
tire’s bead, regardless of position or orientation.
Miniature Bar Code Vericatio
The advanced functionality of the PresencePLUS P4 BCR reads and veries
miniaturized symbology, such as 2D bar codes, on small electronic components.
A Banner Backlight through the semi-transparent circuit membrane optimizes
contrast of the code for optimal reading conditions at high line speeds.
Pharmaceutical Product ID and Lot Contro
Federal pharmaceutical product identication and lot control requirements are
both stringent and evolving. The PresencePLUS Pro gives you the power and
exibility to future-proof inspection, verication and tracking capabilities.
