Quad Processing Single processing led to dual processing, and now the FZ4 takes evolution one step farther with quad processing featuring multi-core, multi-thread operation. Parallel execution of the process flow is automatically calculated to achieve optimum allocation of tasks according to the processor load to achieve the fastest processing in this class. The rapidly-evolving Intel ® processors are used. Performance is maximized with a unique software structure that is matched to the processors. Four-track Parallel Processing Software that has been designed specifically for quad...

High-speed Processing for High-resolution Images of 5 Million Pixels Twice the Processing Speed Increase Quality without Increasing Takt Time Multi-core processing distributes processing to increase speed even for individual processes.The results are the most apparent for high-resolution images. Even if the takt time takes priority, you can still process high-resolution and Real Color images with limited affect on the takt time. We can help you increase quality for both color and resolution. Search Speed Comparison Speed Comparison for Position Compensation and Defect Inspection Processing...

Greatest Detection A Revolution in Searching Power. Shape Search II The technology to find image patterns forms the basis of image sensing.The FZ4 features the Shape Search II, a new processing item that focuses on outline information.Even with overlapping images, tilting, or deformation, both the accuracy of recognizing image patterns and the speed of processing high-resolution images are ensured. Maximizing Detection Performance Shape Search II Previous Pattern Search The FZ4 handles image deformation caused by the location of the workpieces when the Camera is installed at an angle, and...

Maximizing Speed High-speed Processing at High Resolution Throughout 360° Rotation With previous searching, the processing time was greatly increased if the workpiece was rotated or if the image resolution increased. With Shape Search II, processing time is not greatly delayed throughout 360° rotation or if resolution is increases. Manufacturing takt time can be reduced and inspection items can be added to help increase quality. Camera Resolution and 360° Search Processing Time (Typical Example) Processing time 50ms Maximizing Stability Industry-leading positional precision After finding...
