VE Series Smart Camera
1 Product Description
Self-contained Smart Camera with User-Friendly
Vision Manager
Software
• Banner’s free and easy-to-use Vision Manager Software provides a
number of tools and capabilities that enable
VE Series smart cameras to
solve a wide range of vision applications, such as item detection, part
positioning, feature measurement and flaw analysis
•
Runtime editing capability reduces costly downtime and the software
emulator allows for offline building and troubleshooting of applications
• Factory communications (EtherNet IP, Modbus, and PROFINET) for
integration on the manufacturing floor
• Six optically isolated I/O and an external light connector on the smart
camera
• Two-line, eight-character onboard display provides smart camera
information and focus number and makes it easy to update the smart
camera settings, facilitating fast product changeover
• Robust metal housing with optional lens covers to achieve IP67 rating for
use in harsh environments with heat, vibration, or moisture
• Bright indicator lights for easy viewing of smart camera status
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge
Avoid the damage that electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause to the Sensor.
Always use a proven method for preventing electrostatic discharge when installing a lens or attaching a
cable.
CAUTION: Hot Surface
Use caution when handling the camera. The surface of the camera may be hot during operation
and immediately after use.

CAUTION: Do not remove the imager cover until you are ready to install the lens. Do not touch the imager.
Dirt or dust on the imager can affect sensing reliability.
4. Remove any protective covers from the lens. Handle the lens carefully to avoid smudges and dirt on the optical
elements.
5. Thread the lens (3) onto the sensor.
Make sure that the lens is focused; see Acquire a Good Image on page 16.
6.
7. Use the thumbscrews on the lens to lock the focus and aperture rings and to prevent movement that can occur during
cleaning or accidental contact.
8. If you are using a filter: Thread the filter (4) onto the front of the C-mount lens.
9. If you are using a linear polarization filter: Rotate the outer portion of the filter mount to determine the position where
glare is reduced the most, and use the locking thumbscrew to fasten the filter in position.
10.If you are using a lens cover: Thread the lens cover (5) onto the threaded portion of the sensor.
11.Or, if you are using an external light bracket: Attach an external light bracket to the sensor using the provided
hardware kit.
NOTE: For optimal imaging, provide adequate dissipation of heat. A good heat conductor, such as aluminum, may
be required.
NOTE: A lens cover and a ring light cannot be used together.
4.2 Mount the Sensor
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the sensor onto the bracket.
2. Mount the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten
the mounting screws at this time.
3.
Check the sensor alignment.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) in the aligned position.

6. Check the lighting on the part.
• Make sure that the lighting is constant and consistent (unchanging over time, no shadows or hot spots).
• Capture the shape and form of the target object with lighting that optimizes its contrast and separates the feature
of interest from the background. Depending on the target, consider other Banner lights.
• Adjust the mounting angle to provide the clearest image of the part features you are inspecting.
7. After checking and adjusting the lighting, run Auto Exposure a second time or adjust the exposure manually by
expanding the Exposure parameters and moving the slider or entering a specific exposure time.
8. Adjust the focus.
a) Place the part so that the area to be focused appears in the center of the Image pane.
b) Expand the Focus Info parameters.
c) Make sure that the Focus Info checkbox is selected.
d) Adjust the focus of the lens while monitoring the focus number.
The focus number is a number between 1 and 255. Use the Image pane to determine when the image is sharp
enough, or use the focus number as a guide. Turn the focus ring on the lens until the focus number is at the highest
possible number between 1 and 255. The focus number is also available on the sensor display.
