ADVANTAGES
Unleash the capabilities of AI-assisted quality control
Artificial intelligence makes machine vision tasks easier than ever before. Since the vision sensor is not programmed with manually created rules but instead trained by means of examples, applications can be provided quickly. It also opens up new test functions. When you combine the advantages of AI-supported and rule-based tools, you get promising solution possibilities – regardless how experienced the person operating the automated image processing system is.


Quad-core CPU
The high-speed CPU provides impressively rapid analysis, so that every single part can be thoroughly inspected, even at a high speed.


Training the AI on the device
Inspector83x and SICK Nova provide easy-to-use AI tools that can be taught using examples. Collect, train, and execute directly on the Inspector83x. Combine with rule-based tools to easily verify known specifications.

AI training using SICK dStudio
SICK dStudio Cloud Service trains AI at scale with optimized inspection accuracy and speed on the sensor. Convenient data management and collaborative annotation make handling large data sets a breeze and makes it possible to take on big projects with confidence.


Well connected
Put an end to complicated integration or data trapped on the shop floor. Industrial integration becomes a breeze with dual-port fieldbus capabilities and built-in export of customized PLC configurations for market-leading brands.


The network professional
Dual-port Ethernet fieldbus ports make integration into EtherNet/IP™or PROFINET a breeze. Meanwhile, a dedicated high-speed gigabit Ethernet port provides bandwidth for high-resolution image data, data logging, or TCP/IP integration. An additional USB-C network interface provides a convenient service interface without having to use the operational network.


Easy export of PLC configurations
The built-in export functionality makes it possible to export customized PLC configurations for market-leading brands – with just the push of a button.


Flexible I/O
The up to seven inputs (and up to five outputs) are equipped with queued delay of signals. These can be based on time, or on built-in conveyer tracking using an encoder. This lets the sensor precisely calibrate its image timing and output signals to trigger at the right time as well as to control the ejectors. All of this is possible without the need for additional complex hardware such as a PLC.


Accessories for demanding tasks
The vast accessory portfolio from SICK grants extensive options for varying needs. The broad range of optics, illumination, filters, cables, and integration accessories suitable for the Inspector83x provide solutions even for challenging applications.


Lenses as key components
Using a standard C-mount threading, the sensor can be ordered with high-quality optics from SICK. Alternatively, it can be equipped with specialized industrial lenses to fit complex inspection needs afforded by third-party lenses.


Application-appropriate illumination
Adding to the flexible system of integrated ring lights, the sensor offers a dedicated port for external illumination. This port can be used to trigger or drive specialized illumination such as backlights or bar lights from the SICK portfolio or from third-party suppliers.

Inspector8xx, the next generation 2D vision sensor
The Inspector8xx-series is designed to make quality control easy and efficient. The cutting-edge AI technology enables non-expert users to rapidly solve vision applications such as quality assurance, defect detection, and sorting. They can do so directly on the device by simply teaching it using examples. The user-friendly web interface eliminates the need for additional software. It also allows for combinations of AI and rule-based tools for optimal solutions in a broad range of applications. This powerful vision sensor enables high-precision inspections at full production speed without the need for external hardware. With variants for compact size or exceptional field of view, versatile connectivity makes integration into existing systems easy. The Inspector8xx-series comes preinstalled with SICK Nova, allowing users to conveniently extend the software's functionality. This also provides a scalability that makes it a safe choice for a cost-effective ownership.

Go one step further with SICK Nova
Machine vision applications are easily handled in a web browser using point-and-click configuration, giving users the freedom to combine tools for image processing and integration as they need. But the functionality does not end there: With SICK Nova, users can download additional Nova tools or develop their own, allowing them to quickly and conveniently extend functionality to fit the application — without limitations.

Color imaging
Color imaging enables inspection of vivid features, suitable for color sorting, defect detection, and quality assurance.


Near infrared (NIR)
The near infrared (NIR) variant does not disturb the surroundings with flashing lights, and it can shield against ambient light when using a NIR-pass filter. For some applications, it even provides a more suitable contrast.
