Vision Sensors work in place of the human eye to perform inspections by pro-
cessing images using cameras. The visual inspections can be automated and
complicated inspections can be performed accurately at high speeds.
The OMRON F160 Vision Sensor helps create production lines with a highly
efficient inspection system, which is important to meet current demands for
small-lot, variable-product production, produce greater added-value, and
improve product quality.
Using the F160 yields a high return on investments by ensuring the following
benefits:
• Repetitive work is reduced.
• More complicated, more precise inspections are possible.
• Inspection data management is easier (CIM, GMP, ISO9000).
• Working hours can be shortened.
• Less 3-D work (difficult, dirty, dangerous) is required.
• Work can be performed by less experienced staff.
