Double the focus
The Sensor People from Leuze are adding further functionality to their Simple Vision portfolio with the DCR 1048i OCV. The innovative sensor detects 1D or 2D codes and checks the print quality at the same time.
Vision sensors are the ‘eyes of industrial automation’. That is because the devices enable machines to see and interpret their surroundings. Anyone looking for a particularly powerful sensor for print quality verification can now find what they need in the DCR 1048i OCV from Leuze: It can read 1D/2D codes within one application and also check quality using the OCV process. This makes it possible to reliably determine whether the best-before date, batch or other printed information is present, complete and legible.
Optimal visual verification
OCV stands for “Optical Character Verification”. Users can teach the vision sensor for OCV print quality verification quickly and easily. All you need to do is present it with a reference image of the optimum print. The DCR 1048i OCV then reliably detects defective printing – for example due to, clogged print heads, low ink cartridges, or adhesion problems. Once the threshold value is set, products recognized as defective can be rejected. The DCR 1048i OCV offers an efficient and flexible solution for production processes.
Simple Vision: Simple setup, efficient detection
Performance, flexibility and usability are what count when it comes to image processing sensor technology for industrial automation. Simple Vision sensors meet these requirements. They are as easy to operate as optical sensors, plus they are as powerful as camera systems. The Sensor People from Leuze offer this concept as a quick and straightforward introduction to vision technology.

Image 2: The DCR 1048i OCV can identify a 1D/2D code and compare an imprint (such as a best-before date) with a taught-in reference image at the same time. This involves assessing whether or not the print has the required quality. The threshold value for this is easy to set.
