Vision System FH series Industry’s Fastest Compact Vision System Easy to Integrate in Machines » Increase Machine Speed

Industry’s Fastest* Compact Vision System A New Concept in Image Processing That Considers It’s time to move beyond simply increasing the speed of image processing and start seriously shortening Machine cycle time. This is the concept that gave birth to OMRON’s FH-series Vision System and its best-in-the-industry speed. Manufacturing Machines are operated through the interaction of sensors, PLCs, servomotors, and other devices. Vision Systems measure positions and perform inspections, and the results are used to control the operation of Machines. The demand for faster, more precise Vision...

Machine Cycle Time Increase Machine Speed High-speed Response to Execution Instructions from a PLC A high-speed image bus and 4-core processing increase the speed at every step, from image input to data output. Multiple camera inspections provide total judgement results Calculations are easy to set for the results from four parallel tasks. Quickly Outputting Measurement Results to a PLC You can output results to an NJ-series Machine Automation Controller on an EtherCAT communications cycle of 500 μs. Perform High-precision Machine Operation Measurements for Out-of-focus or Rotated Images...

Increase Machine Speed FH Process Higher-resolution Images without Increasing the Machine Cycle Time High-speed Image Input Realtime Image Transfer Camera resolution, driven by higher expectations for quality, continues to increase. OMRON has greatly reduced the input time and image transfer time to provide high-speed processing to match the speed of Machine applications for high-resolution images. Even with more Cameras and higher resolution, high-speed image input will contribute to increasing throughput. High-resolution Cameras capture large amounts of data, which can make a bottleneck...

Four-core CPU* to Meet High-speed Demands for Different Machines *for high speed controllers only Case1 Perform Calculations for Multiple Cameras without Delay Even when the measurement results of sequential operations are dependent on the speed of the independent action, parallel processing allows high speed performance without any dwell time. The measurement results from four cores can be easily calculated on one Controller to achieve continuous interaction without any special programming. Measuring chip position Measuring gripping position Determining placement position Confirming...

Increase Machine Speed FH Four-core CPU* to Meet High-speed Demands for Different Machines *for high speed controllers only Case2 Machine Cycle Time Reduced to 1/4* of Previous Time Case3 Process Multiple Lines in Parallel without Any Waiting Time Four cores process triggers, so the trigger interval can be 1/4th* of previous models. *In-house comparison. Four controllers are compressed into one without increasing the line cycle time. You can greatly reduce costs for processes that involve many lines. Standard Vision Sensors Image input Image input Measurement processing Image input...

Perform High-precision Machine Operation FH The High-precision Image Processing Required for Positioning Shape Search III Low-error Position Detection Even with Blurry Images Over the years, OMRON has perfected techniques to search for and match templates at high speed. From these techniques Shape Search III provides advanced robustness, which is critical on FA sites. When measuring lamination of glass or other processes where the distance to the workpiece from the Camera varies, size dierences and focal shifts can occur. Even in cases like this, the new Shape Search III algorithm detects...
