Vision Sensors

A vision sensor built for stability and simplicity. With built-in camera and optimized lighting, a wide area can be captured with an image and stable detection of multiple targets is possible even if they are misaligned. The lineup includes a model with AI that makes a wide range of pass/fail differentiations as simple and stable as possible.

IV4 series - Vision Sensor with Built-in AI

New Vision Sensor with Built-in AI IV4 series

Installed with the latest in Artificial Intelligence technology, the IV4 Series can now do more than ever. The IV4 Series can detect parts without using position adjustment, can check if the correct amount of parts are in their proper location, and can read and count targets under tough conditions. The IV Series is known for its simplicity and stability and the IV4 is stronger in these than ever before. Increased brightness, wide-and-narrow field-of-view options, and highly optimised built-in hardware mean that the IV4 is highly stable against environmental concerns like ambient lighting or slight finish changes. Even applications that are difficult for conventional vision sensors can be solved easily with the IV4 and its improved AI tools.

Features

Advanced Next-Generational AI Enables Powerful Yet Simple and Stable Detection

AI Identify

Confirming the presence of a fork in a container

No need to fix workpieces in place or use a positioning tool since the AI locates targets.

AI Count

Counting and front/back identification / Kitting management

Stable detection is possible for counting applications frequently used on production floors, including quantity/number checking, kit assembly, and production counting.

AI OCR

Narrow pitch / Metal engravings / Arced / SEMI font

All types of characters and prints supported, including embossed, engraved, laser-marked and ink-jet printed parts. Detection is not affected by individual target differences or environmental conditions.

AI Differentiate

Plastic bottle label differentiation / SMD resistor top/bottom differentiation

Sort and differentiate good and bad parts with just two images to set up. Equally effective with high-speed moving targets of even 250 parts/sec (4 ms).

Easy Setup

No matter how high-performance or stable a sensor may be, if operating the sensor is time-consuming or if configuration requires specialised skills, the sensor’s usability will be reduced. With the IV4 Series, setup can be completed in just 3 easy steps. Operation can be performed easily by anyone even without a manual.

Step 1: Adjust Focus and Brightness

Using Smart Image Optimisation, focus and brightness are adjusted automatically. The process can be completed simply by selecting from a number of image candidates.

Step 2: Set Up Tools for Monitoring

Frequently used tools are displayed in obvious locations. Additional explanations are shown on the right-hand side of the screen to avoid confusion.

Step 3: Complete Setup

Check for problems with a trial run within the tool setup. If the tool is running as expected, move to the final step for output settings.

Features

Stable Detection Thanks to an AI-Based Detection Algorithm

The IV2 Series Vision Sensor with Built-in AI is able to solve various problems conventional vision sensors and smart cameras have trouble with, including ambient light, individual differences of products, and changes in the positions of parts. The built-in AI, specially designed for presence/absence differentiation, is capable of detecting differences between registered images of acceptable and unacceptable products for automatically determining the best settings.

Ambient light

Oil stains

Misalignment

Varied surfaces

The AI Is Able to Optimize the Settings Automatically
This Makes It Possible For Anyone to Perform Measurements

The built-in AI analyzes registered OK and NG product images using various characteristics such as colour, brightness, shape, area, and edges to automatically configure optimal detection settings. Users need only register the OK and NG products to complete setup.

IV series - Vision Sensor

Vision Sensor IV series

Difficult applications that formerly required multiple conventional photoelectric sensors or proximity sensors can now be tackled easily and at low cost with one IV Series vision sensor.
