F10 - package and component presence checking

Omron’s advanced sensor F10 is an image-processing system in a sensor format. It consists of two separate components, a camera head and a processing unit. The measurement area and the measurement field are projected directly onto the object by colored LEDs. An additional monitor is not required; object illumination is already integrated into the camera head. Three different camera choices are available, each with different sensing area sizes.
One model even includes 8-bank memory and RS-232C/422 communications capability. A teaching function guarantees quick and easy start-up. The inspection time is 3.6 to 14.4 ms. This sensor’s measurement methods include pattern matching, plain measurement and automatic position compensation.

F150 - Easy to use and highly efficient

The F150 intelligent sensor offers the diverse measurement options of an image processing
system but with the additional benefits of fast start-up, easy operation via a graphical interface and an excellent price/value ratio. The system consists of a camera and a controller. Because of its small size, this progressive scan camera fits into locations were no other camera could be installed.
The internal position compensation ensures that positioning is correct to the last micrometer and degree. Measurement tools include center of gravity, area, edge position, edge pitch, degree of defect, with 16 setup
scenes and up to 16 measurements per scene. Menu control and configuration is carried out via a hand console. Easy-to-use, on-screen, drop-down menus allow fast and flexible
parameter changes.

No external programming device needed
Variety of inspection tools: defect, pattern, rotation,
edge, etc.
16 configurations can be stored in non-volatile memory

F400 Detects coloured objects

The F400 intelligent color sensor is ideal for quality assurance and inspection tasks for colored products. Color sensors previously used in this area were limited in terms of functionality and the use of image processing systems is too costly and time-intensive. The F400 combines hue, saturation, and
intensity with color pick-up and 5 color filters into an easy-to-use and powerful color vision solution. With color pick-up, the F400 can be configured quickly to detect and measure up to 8 colors simultaneously. Or use the Omron’s Color-gray filter to convert a color into a 256 level grayscale to analyze and measure
very fine differences in the isolated color’s image, even in fluctuating lighting conditions.
The F400 also allows menu control and configuration via a hand console with easy-to-use, on-screen and drop-down menus.

F160 - Including OCR/OCV detection

The intelligent sensor F160 offers all the features of the F150, including quick start-up, simple operation via a graphical interface and an excellent price/value ratio. The main difference is that both image capture and
algorithm processing are accelerated many times. New algorithms include Omron’s Quest OCR/ OCV with built-in font libraries, Variable Box technology for self-adjusting measurement areas and a Flexible Search
to find the same object even with slight variations. The F160 also allows user- customized menus in any language, and the setting of results screen information and symbol and text colors. Naturally, intelligent illumination can be used here as well.

F160 Features

F210 - Compact hardware, high-end software

The F210 general-purpose vision system is designed for a wide range of quality inspection applications in automated production processes. It contains powerful algorithms that ensure the inspection performance is fast and ultra-precise. These algorithms include Edge Code technology, Fine Matching tool and QUEST OCR/OCV. A trend-monitoring feature is also available for inspection analysis.
The F210’s flow-menu configuration software enables standard inspection tasks to be easily configured via the user-friendly GUI. In addition, a Macro Functions software option is available for OEMs and system integrators who wish to create their own application- specific vision systems. Customized operation flows can also be created in which nearly every system function can be accessed and manipulated.

F250 - Speed, flexibility accuracy

The F250 image processing system is characterized by fast processing and simple operation. New algorithms include Omron‘s Edge Code Position and Defect Detection algorithms which use edges in the image for ultra-precise detection; the Fine Matching algorithm for detecting minute defects or deviations on labels and graphics; and the Quest OCR/OCV algorithm for advanced character detection and automatic lot/date code verification. The on- screen, pull-down menu uses an easy-to- understand, flow chart style setup menu for maximum flexibility. An on-line trending function with definable limits and alarms for outputs can be used for production quality tracking. Thanks to its new fast hardware base that supports double-speed cameras, position compensation is performed in real-time through translation. A Macro Functions software option is available for OEMs and system integrators who wish to create their own application-specific vision systems.

V530-R150 - High data denisty and secure decoding in material handling

2-D codes can contain up to 100 times more data than typical barcodes in the same space and readability is higher. The decoder system automatically compensates for position changes and no special requirements are placed on the quality of the code printing. One main advantage of 2-D code is that it can also be decoded as a direct marking; labels are not necessary. Omron’s V530-R150 2-D code reader consists of a camera and controller. Like the other family members the code reader also allows menu control and configuration via a hand console and easy-to- use, on-screen, drop-down menus.

V530-R150 Features

Easy configuration with graphical user interface
No external programming device needed
2-D code types: data matrix code ECC200 and QR code
One camera connection (optional two cameras using two-camera unit)
Can read codes in all directions (360°)
10 configurations can be stored in non-volatile memory
12 digital I/Os as screw clamps, RS232 interface
Compact controller for DIN rail or screw-mount
Variety of intelligent lighting solutions

V530-R160 - Fixed type reader solution for high degraded codes

The V530-R160 2D-code reader is designed especially for reading direct marked codes on surfaces like metal, plastic and glass. Its newly developed advanced algorithms allow reliable reading of codes made from dots (pin stamped), laser edged or ink jet. The print quality of these marking methods is usually anything but perfect; a reader often has to cope with highly degraded, damaged codes in any orientation. The V530-R160 2D-code reader meets these challenges in a cost-effective way. It also provides feedback for quality analysis like trend monitoring, statistics functions and image storage functions. In addition, set-up is easy, using the well-known graphical user interface of the F-Series vision systems.

V530-R160 Features

Two camera connections
High-speed image acquisition (8ms per image min.)
Reads direct marked Data Matrix and QR code
Can read codes in all directions (360°)
