Key features and engineering advantages
The CS-60 is designed for real production environments where the goal is not “the most features on paper”, but repeatable results, short commissioning time,
and low integration risk. In practice, the winning solution is the one that keeps working when lighting shifts, vibration appears, or surface reflections change.
That’s exactly where the CS-60 approach makes sense.
-
On-device image processing – for typical inspection tasks you don’t need a separate industrial PC or heavy IT infrastructure.
This is a major advantage when the system will be maintained by production or maintenance teams rather than IT.
-
Integrated illumination – in machine vision, lighting is often half the project. Built-in LED illumination helps minimize “moving shadow” effects
and improves stability over time.
-
Interchangeable M12 lenses – field of view and working distance are matched to the job, not guessed.
This is one of the biggest drivers of robust inspection performance.
-
Job-based operation – multiple configurations can be stored for different products or “recipes”.
Useful when one line runs several SKUs, package formats, or part variants.
-
Industrial housing and mounting – an IP-rated, production-ready design generally allows mounting closer to the process,
reducing long bracket vibration and improving repeatability.
Technical specifications (explained in human language)
Specifications matter only if they translate into stable results. Below are the key parameters and what they typically mean in a real project.
Note: exact values depend on the CS-60 variant and lens selection. If you share your task details, we help select the most suitable combination.
| Parameter |
What it means in practice |
| Resolution (variants) |
Higher resolution helps detect smaller features and improves reliability for edges, contours, and markings—especially on moving parts. |
| Frame rate |
Up to ~30 fps is sufficient for many packaging, assembly, and inspection stations where fast “OK/NOK” decisions are required. |
| Optics |
M12 lenses allow precise field-of-view and working-distance matching. This is often more important than the sensor itself. |
| Illumination |
Integrated LED illumination stabilizes the image and reduces sensitivity to ambient light changes and reflections. |
| Housing / environment |
An industrial design supports installation close to the process, improving repeatability and lowering mechanical vibration issues. |
| Power supply |
Standard industrial DC power (typically 24 V class) simplifies wiring and retrofit projects. |
| Integration |
Results can be transferred to PLCs or higher-level systems using digital I/O or industrial networking, depending on your architecture. |
If your task involves very small features, high speed, or challenging surfaces, the final result depends heavily on lens choice, lighting geometry,
and mechanical mounting stiffness. A short pre-check usually saves significant commissioning time.
Where this product is used
The CS-60 is most valuable where you need dependable inspection “right on the line”, and you want to avoid a long project cycle for a full camera system.
Typical use cases focus on confirming process correctness and sending results to automation.
Packaging and labeling verification
- Label presence and position (offset, rotation, placement zone).
- Print quality checks (missing characters, low contrast, defects).
- 1D/2D code reading for traceability (depending on required functionality).
Assembly and completeness checks
- Presence/absence of components (screws, caps, seals, inserts).
- Correct orientation before pressing, fastening, or robotic handling.
- Poka-yoke style prevention: catch errors before the part leaves the station.
Localization for automation
When a robot needs the position or orientation of a part, CS-60 can serve as a compact localization sensor.
This is useful when feeding mechanics have tolerances and you still need consistent pick performance.
Processes with changing conditions
Real production lines experience lighting drift, dust, vibration, or fluid mist. A solution that doesn’t “fall apart” from minor changes is key.
Integrated illumination and industrial design are practical advantages in such environments.
Why choose CS-60 instead of alternatives
In practice, the decision often comes down to this: do you need a full camera system, or a robust vision sensor that solves the task without adding complexity?
The CS-60 is commonly chosen when you want fast, reliable results while keeping the system lean and maintainable.
- Faster deployment – fewer components, fewer integration risks, clearer responsibility.
- Lower total system cost – many tasks do not require a separate industrial PC or complex licensing infrastructure.
- Simpler maintenance – configuration is easier to maintain for production/maintenance teams.
- Scalable functionality – additional capabilities can be enabled when needed (e.g., code reading or measurements).
Installation and integration notes (engineer-to-engineer)
The most common reason machine-vision projects fail is not the sensor—it’s optics, lighting, and mounting decisions made too late.
Even a strong device can deliver unstable results if (1) the field of view is wrong, (2) the part moves too fast for the chosen setup,
or (3) lighting varies with reflections or ambient sources. Here’s a practical checklist.
-
Select optics based on the feature size.
If you need to verify a 1–2 mm detail, your field of view must provide enough pixels on that feature. Otherwise the check becomes noise-sensitive.
-
Stabilize lighting early.
Integrated illumination often solves most issues. For glossy surfaces you may need angle changes, diffusion, or minor geometry tweaks.
-
Use a short, stiff bracket.
Long brackets amplify vibration and image “shake”, increasing false rejects. Short and stiff usually beats “convenient mounting”.
-
Define PLC data needs upfront.
Many systems only need OK/NOK plus a few status bits. If you need measured values or decoded text, define format and cycle timing early.
-
Plan for jobs/recipes.
If you have multiple SKUs, plan how PLC/operator will switch jobs to avoid manual edits later.
Quick start: send (1) a photo of the part, (2) working distance, (3) line speed, and (4) the required output (OK/NOK, code, dimension, position).
We’ll recommend optics, setup, and integration method.
Common questions (FAQ)
Is CS-60 suitable for fast production lines?
In many cases, yes. Stability depends not only on frame rate but on lens choice, lighting, mounting stiffness, and triggering.
A good setup often matters more than a single “fps” number.
Do we need a dedicated vision programmer?
For typical inspections, usually not. A clear task definition and correct optics matter most. More complex data exchange can involve automation support,
but it’s not the same as needing a full-time vision specialist.
Can it read QR / DataMatrix codes?
Yes, code reading is typically enabled depending on the required functionality and the reading conditions (contrast, marking quality, distance).
How is it different from a standard photoelectric sensor?
A photoelectric sensor typically measures a point or beam. CS-60 analyzes an image and can evaluate zones, shapes, contours, positions,
and other features that are simply beyond classic sensors.
What about shiny or reflective surfaces?
Common in metal, film, and glossy plastics. Usually solved by lighting angle, diffusion, and mounting geometry. Often a small mechanical change makes a big difference.
Can we store multiple inspections (jobs) in one device?
Yes. This is useful when a line runs multiple product variants and you need quick recipe changes without re-teaching from scratch.
What information should we provide for selection?
A photo of the part, working distance, approximate field of view, line speed, and clear OK/NOK criteria.
If available, also share environment notes (washdown, dust, vibration).
Documentation
In engineering projects, documentation is a working tool, not an attachment. If needed, we can also provide guidance on setup and integration approach.
Conclusion / call to action
di-soric CS-60 is a practical choice when you need reliable in-line vision inspection while avoiding the complexity of PC-based camera systems.
With the right lens and mounting geometry, it becomes a solution that simply works—and is easy to maintain over the long term.
If you want a quick answer on whether CS-60 fits your application, contact us. We’ll recommend optics, configuration and an integration approach
(digital I/O or network), so the system is stable in real production—not only in a demo.
Tip: if you run multiple product variants, plan job/recipe switching from the start—this saves time during commissioning and later changeovers.
