F160 VISION SENSORThe First Vision Sensor to Offer High-speed, Mid-range Machine Vision Performance The F160 is the industrys first high-speed vision sensor to deliver mid-range machine vision performance to meet more demanding vision applications. The F160 enlists high speed, two-camera image capture and vision algorithm processing to meet the needs of todays high-speed production lines. The on-screen set up and configura- tion system offers beginners or experts fast and easy set up. A wizard- like prompted menu option helps new users with auto setup routines, while theexper menu option lets those with more experience directly set configuration parameters. Several new and improved algorithms, like Omrons Quest OCR andvariable bo technology let users perform more precise and sophisticated applications. By using Flash-RAM memo- ry cards, the memory capacity of the F160 can be expanded to handle multiple product lines. Choose from a selection of compact camera options to satisfy many inspection and measurement needs. The F160 also allows the customization of menus,result screen information and symbol and text colors to ensure optimum on-site operability. Omron s machine vision technology and know-how has come together to bring a new level of machine vision measurement and inspection capability. Creating New Possibilities with High-speed Vision The F160s specialized double-speed cameras can capture images Image capture time Inspection processing time up to 4 times faster than with previous cameras. In addition, Existing cameras feature 8 user-selectable shutter speeds and an Intelligent products Lighting Interface. The F160s high speed processing, inspection Up to 4 times as fast 2 to 10 times as fast and measurement results are generated 2 to 10 times faster than before. In the Gray Search example image below, inspections can be F160 completed at a rate of 5,000 inspections per-minute. Because each inspection is performed at high speed, the total inspection time for complex applications is dramatically reduced, leaving time for additional inspections that may not have been possible with previous products. This can lead to significant improvements in production line throughput and product quality.
