12D vision sensors for object recognition and inspection are advanced industrial sensors designed for high-precision applications. These sensors are typically produced by leading automation and robotics companies, such as Keyence (Japan), Cognex (USA), or Sick AG (Germany), specializing in machine vision technology. They serve industries like manufacturing, automotive, electronics, and logistics, offering solutions for quality control, defect detection, and automated guidance. The '12D' refers to their multi-dimensional capabilities, combining 2D imaging with depth perception (3D) and additional data layers for enhanced accuracy. Key products include smart cameras, laser scanners, and integrated vision systems that enable real-time inspection and sorting in production lines.
