The measurement technology at the core of the smart camera can have the results of measurements incorporated into the process, or provide adjustment assistance for format changeovers by quickly finding the position of the print mark. The user is shown the directions of the necessary adjustments. Three tasks are thus fulfilled with just one camera model. Compared to OCR reading, this represents an efficient and cost-effective solution for highspeed applications. Due to its memory function, the KRTM20 contrast sensor can also save up to 128 contrast values at the same time. This means quick product changeovers, thus higher throughput is also possible in terms of print mark control. Owing to its integrated, homogeneous and highly ambient-lightindependent LEDs, the LSIS 462i can be flexibly adjusted to the most diverse packaging designs. The smart camera can easily be integrated by means of a reproducible mechanical mounting bracket – designed by SN Maschinenbau. Reference code specification and program changes are provided directly from the control, without any manual intervention necessary. Mechanical intervention, or even opening the camera, is also not required when the focus has to be adjusted. Even this takes place fully automatically. An integrated display makes possible the diagnostics for the commissioning and alignment during operation directly on the device. The software, too, is directly contained within the smart camera. Configuration is performed directly via webConfig, meaning no separate configuration software is necessary. This Web-based software tool independent of the operating system simplifies
