    ON or immediately after the power is turned OFF. These lights generate heat and can cause burns. Caution Do not use the F150 in environments with flam- mable or explosive gases. Caution Install the F150 away from high-voltage equip- ment or motors to ensure safety during operation and maintenance.

    Do not turn OFF the power while a message is be- ing displayed indicating that processing is being performed. Data in memory will be destroyed, and the F150 may not operate correctly the next time it is started. General Precautions The user must operate the product according to the performance specifications described in the operation manuals.

  • Page 10: The Expert Menu Mode

    This section outlines the features of the Expert Menu mode and will tell you what can be achieved using it. The Expert Menu mode enables using all the capabilities of the F150. This section also describes the overall flow of F150 application and basic operations, and the conventions used in this manual.

  • Page 11: Features

    Section Features Features The F150 features supported by the Expert Menu mode are de- scribed below. → Three Measurement Methods Any of the following measurement methods can be used. Density Searches The position of the measurement object is determined and the image is compared with registered measurement conditions to determine if the object is acceptable or unacceptable.
  • Page 12 → Terminal Block pp 85, 133 The F150 can communicate with PLCs and other external de- vices via the terminal block. Calculations can be performed on measurement results, or math functions can be used to calculate the distance between two regions or the maximum measure- ment results.

  • Page 13: Measurement Methods

    These images, however, can be backed up to a computer. Measurement Methods The F150 provides three measurement methods: Density searches, the binary center of gravity and area, and the binary axis angle. The measurement method can be set separately for each of the 16 measurement regions.
  • Page 14 Section Measurement Methods The part of the input image that most corresponds to the model is found. Model Search The extent of conformity with the model is shown as the correla- tion value. The OK/NG judgement is determined by comparing the correlation value and the position with an evaluation criteria.

  • Page 15: Binary Center Of Gravity And Area

    Density images with 256 gradations are read by the Camera. Binary processing involves separating these density images into black pixels (picture elements) (0) and white pixels (1). The F150 uses the white pixels to measure the object. • The size (i.e., area) of the measurement object can be calcu- lated by counting the number of white pixels.

  • Page 16: Binary Axis Angle

    Section Measurement Methods The measurement results are compared to evaluation criteria, and the object is judged as OK or NG. OK if the center of gravity is within the specified range. OK if the area is within the specified range. →...
  • Page 17 Section Measurement Methods The area, center of gravity, and axis angle are calculated for the white pixels in the measurement region. Axis angle Center of gravity Measurement region The measurement results are compared to evaluation criteria, and the object is evaluated as OK or NG. OK if the axis angle is within the specified range.

  • Page 18: Position Compensation

    Section Position Compensation Position Compensation If the measurement object is inclined or displaced, the positional relationship between the image read by the camera and the measurement region can be corrected by using the position dis- placement compensation function. This function is useful when the position and orientation of the measurement object are not fixed.

  • Page 19: Binary Center Of Gravity And Area

    Section Position Compensation 1-3-2 Binary Center of Gravity and Area The center of gravity is calculated for the white pixels, and the deviation from the reference position is calculated. Reference position Input image → Application Methods. p 51 1-3-3 Binary Axis Angle The center of gravity and the axis angle are calculated, and the deviation from the reference position is calculated.

  • Page 20: Rotational Position Compensation

    Section Position Compensation 1-3-4 Rotational Position Compensation In addition to binary axis angle, the angle between two models is used for rotational position compensation. The angle where two lines joining two models meet is used. This angle has a range of 360°, with the X axis at 0°, and the Y axis in positive direction from the X axis.
