  • Page 7: Before Operation

    This product is a vision sensor for performing image processing measurement through a controller of objects photographed using a camera.By connecting an external device such as a PC, measurement commands can be input and measurement results can be output from the external device.

  • Page 8: Preparing Controllers And Cameras

    When using an auto-focus camera or an intelligent camera, focus and the iris can be automatically adjusted. Note If a camera is used together with a lens, turn the focus ring of the lens to adjust the focus. The light intensity of an intelligent camera can be adjusted from the controller.

    Search Register the feature sections of the measurement object as an image pattern (model), then find the most similar part to these models from the input images to detect the position. The correlation value showing the degree of similarity, measurement object position, and inclination can be output.

  • Page 26: Flexible Search

    Model Registration (Flexible Search) Register the parts to measure as the model. A total of 5 models, 0 through 4, can be registered, with no restriction on the size. If a model has different printing qualities and shapes, more than one models should be registered.

  • Page 27: Sensitive Search

    Sensitive Search The registered models are automatically finely divided and matched in detail.Of the divided models, the one with the lowest correlation is output. Sensitive search is suitable when the difference between the model image and measurement image is small and regular searches do not produce differ- ences in correlation.
