OMRON - FZ2 Vision Sensors

 

Real Color Sensors equipped with 2-million-pixel CCDs, the fastest in the industry. Nine different types of cameras are available.

State-of-the-art Sensing Technology

OMRON's top-of-the-line FZ2 Vision Sensor handles essentially any type of inspection or measurement. To achieve this OMRON has raised sensing performance beyond the competition.

Another "dimension" has been added to advanced color and resolution capabilities to develop the world's first Vision Sensor capable of 3-dimensional measurements. "Color," "resolution," and "3D" capabilities were combined to provide the ultimate solution to all your future inspection needs.

Real Color Sensing as It Is (World's First)

The Vision Sensor recognizes 256 gradations of each of the RGB colors, so over 16.77 million colors are captured. It also features a completely new high-speed image processing technology.

The Vision Sensor processes color data approaching the abilities of the human eye, so stable measurements are possible even in lighting conditions that are similar to natural light.

Subtle variations in color are thus accurately recognized, even when there is little contrast between the sample and the background.


3D Sensing as It Is (World's First)

By combining advanced 3D processing technology with our own unique calibration technology, OMRON has succeeded in creating the world's first commercially viable sensor capable of 3D measurements. Installed inline it can instantaneously measure length, width, and height, making it possible to automate processes that until now have relied on human labor.

Precise Sensing as It Is (World's First)

Our lineup includes both Black & White and Real Color Sensors equipped with 2-million-pixel CCDs, which offer the best resolution available.

Powerful Engine for Speed and Volume

Presenting the newly evolved version of our Mega ARCS Engine featuring Processing Boost Software (PBS) architecture and the fastest CPU in the industry. This new engine allows you to perform "yet another inspection item" beyond what was previously possible.

This high-speed processing capability becomes increasingly valuable as data volumes increase, for example when conducting inspections of multiple locations simultaneously, or when processing high-resolution images.

80-fps Ultra High-speed Input (Fastest in the industry)

Our camera image capture speeds have improved dramatically. Our 300,000-pixel camera boasts high-speed recording at 80 fps, much faster than conventional cameras. Even our 2-million-pixel high-definition processing cameras have capture speeds of 30 fps.

Large Data Processing by Multi-input Function (See note.) (Evolution)

Each camera has its own image buffer for storing image data that is separate from the main memory used for measurement processing. This allows for up to 32 frames of continuous high-speed image capture even while the main memory is processing measurement data.
