Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The Visionary-S is a high-accuracy machine vision solution designed for demanding industrial applications requiring precision and speed, even in stationary setups. Based on stereo vision principles, it delivers reliable performance across a range of inspection tasks. Available in two configurations—short cooling fins for compact design or long cooling ribs for enhanced thermal performance—the Visionary-S offers flexibility to match diverse installation environments. With integrated software solutions like SICK Nova, the system supports both presence inspection and quality control functions. The Visionary-S AP provides a complete camera and software package, enabling users to configure and deploy inspection processes efficiently through intuitive tools. This makes it ideal for applications where accurate 3D measurement and real-time data processing are essential.
The Visionary-S leverages stereo vision technology to deliver high-accuracy depth and color data, with the Visionary-S CX providing raw depth and color values directly from the device. These values are pre-assigned within the camera hardware, reducing data processing load on downstream systems. The system supports direct configuration via SOPAS ET software, enabling pre-filtering of relevant image data for faster and more efficient analysis. Additionally, the Visionary-S AP integrates with SICK Nova SensorApps—such as Presence Inspection or Quality Inspection—offering intelligent 3D measurement capabilities powered by artificial intelligence. SICK Nova Static Package Dimensioning AI enables true height-based understanding in all dimensions, enhancing detection accuracy in complex inspection scenarios.
The Visionary-S is available in multiple variants based on cooling design and software licensing. The short cooling fins model (part number 1138472) supports ambient operating temperatures up to 40 °C, while the long cooling ribs variant (part number 1138475) can operate in environments with ambient temperatures up to 50 °C. The device includes a range of software licenses: Presence Inspection License and Quality Inspection License. Specific configurations include 1138472 (short cooling fins + Nova + Presence Inspection License), 1138475 (long cooling ribs + Nova + Presence Inspection License), 1138473 (short cooling fins + Nova + Quality Inspection License), and 1138476 (long cooling fins + Nova + Quality Inspection License). The PALLOC-VS software enables AI-based 3D dimensioning across all dimensions, supporting intelligent inspection workflows.
The Visionary-S AP offers flexible configuration through a user-friendly web interface that allows rapid setup to match specific application needs. Users can either develop custom software solutions using SICK AppStudio or deploy pre-developed SICK SensorApps via the SICK AppManager. The device processes image data internally and outputs relevant results, ensuring streamlined integration into existing automation systems. With the Visionary-S AP and associated Nova SensorApp license, a complete presence inspection or quality control solution is provided. This enables seamless deployment in production lines where real-time, accurate 3D data is required for reliable decision-making.
The Visionary-S is designed to operate reliably under industrial conditions. It supports ambient operating temperatures up to 40 °C with the short cooling fins configuration. For extended thermal performance, the long cooling ribs design allows operation up to 50 °C. These capabilities ensure robust performance in high-temperature environments such as packaging or assembly lines. The device is engineered for stable operation across a wide range of industrial settings, making it suitable for continuous production processes where environmental conditions may vary.
The Visionary-S is ideal for applications requiring precise 3D inspection and measurement, such as presence detection, object alignment, and quality control. Its stereo vision technology enables accurate depth perception, making it suitable for detecting missing parts or verifying dimensional accuracy. The integration of SICK Nova AI-based dimensioning supports intelligent analysis in static inspection tasks. Whether used for presence inspection or quality assurance, the Visionary-S delivers reliable performance across a range of industrial processes where high accuracy and speed are critical.
