Zebra NS42 Smart Vision Sensor 2.3MP, 60fps, Quad-core, 8GB RAM, Liquid lens, IP65/67

The Zebra InspectAce NS42 Sensor is a compact, all‑in‑one smart vision sensor designed for industrial inspection, quality control, and automation applications. Combining integrated camera, lens and illumination, the NS42 streamlines deployment on production lines and workstations where consistent image capture and rapid decision-making are required. Available in 2.0 MP and 2.3 MP configurations with options for standard or wide‑angle fields of view, the product supports essential machine‑vision tasks including anomaly detection and deep‑learning OCR. Rugged housing and broad connectivity options enable easy integration into manufacturing, packaging, and OEM systems while reducing setup time and improving inspection repeatability and throughput.

Key Features

• All‑in‑one design: Integrated camera, lens and illumination reduce system complexity and simplify installation on conveyors and workstations.
• Onboard AI inspection: Supports deep‑learning OCR and anomaly detection to automate text reading and defect screening without extensive programming.
• Flexible connectivity: Ethernet with PoE/PoE+, USB‑C, serial and industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, RS‑232) for seamless integration.
• Production‑ready performance: Global‑shutter CMOS options, quad‑core processing and up to 60 fps deliver responsive capture for fast moving lines.
• Rugged and serviceable: Sealed aluminum housings with IP65/IP67 ratings, shock and vibration testing, and operator feedback LEDs/beeper for reliable shop‑floor use.
