Omron’s FQ2 vision sensor makes it possible to automate reliably and simply. The vision sensor is claimed to provide the best in image quality and clarity base, using 16.7 million colours. Power LEDs, high dynamic range (HDR) and polarisation enable stable inspections on difficult surfaces.
The sensor can be used for pattern recognition, batch code and expire date confirmation, size measurement, counting, colour confirmation, barcode reading (1D, 2D and pharmacode) and OCR.
The vision sensor includes communication interfaces (digital I/O, Fins/TCP or EIP) for compatibility with a wide range of host devices. This helps integrate the vision sensor with the rest of the automation system.
Logging historical results is very useful for testing a new production line. Samples are fed down the line and inspection results are logged. The logged data can be checked against a timescale in graph form and used to adjust judging conditions. File logging is also convenient during operation - large inspection histories can be saved in SD cards and referred to later for traceability.
When multiple sensors are connected to the touch finder (touch screen), the display automatically switches to the image of the sensor which has produced an NG result. This allows dynamic visualisation of rejected conditions.
The vision sensor allows fast and easy real-time parameter adjustment, eliminating the need to stop the machine for finetuning and optimisation of settings, resulting in zero machine downtime. The camera has an IP67 rating and can therefore be used in harsh environments.
