2. For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
The wenglor weQube is an optoelectronic sensor which is used for contactless inspection of specific objects.
The sensor unites a camera unit, illumination, optics with auto-focus and an analysis module in a single hous-
ing. The sensors work with a CMOS color or monochrome image sensor.
Image processing functions including measurement, object counting, checking for the presence of objects,
pixel comparison, shape analysis, pattern matching, optical character reading and reference image compari-
son can be configured by means of a PC or laptop via the integrated Ethernet port. 1D and 2D codes can be
read as well.
These image processing functions can be executed in trigger mode operation, as well as during continuous
monitoring, and objects can be detected regardless of position thanks to tracking. Six convertible I/O switch-
ing outputs are available, which can be used as either inputs or outputs. Beyond this, an external lamp can
also be connected to the weQube, and the integrated illumination can be partially or completely switched off.
