Consists of a processor exclusively for image capture and transfer, a high-speed RISC-CPU,
image-processing DSP, and a processor exclusively for display processing
DIN-rail
mountable
■ Pipeline processing by the Quad processor enables concurrent operation of the image capture process and inspection process.
■ Ease of operation is increased, because data R (read) / W (write) (see page 10) and display layout switching operations are possible
in the RUN mode.
■ DSP processing: High-speed DSP is a processor dedicated for realtime image and grey pre-process filtering.
■ High reliability, fan-less, standalone hardware

•••••••••
With pipeline (parallel) processing, image capturing
and inspection can execute at the same time.
Two cameras, including a combination of color and
grey cameras, can be simultaneously connected.
High definition color and grey cameras can be simultaneously
connected. Inspections with color and grey images can be
conducted concurrently.
Six types of cameras, including a 4M grey camera, are
available with the system.
0.3M compact grey camera has been added to the product
line-up. The body is approximately 20 mm
0.79 in
more
compact lengthwise compared to previous 0.3M grey cameras.

Grey conversion
Highly flexible grey conversion is possible, because each
coefficient can be freely specified for each RGB value of a
color image.

Color extraction
Colors in different color phases can be simultaneously
extracted and inspected by using one inspection checker.

reduction
The inspections can be quickly changed to meet multiple product types or various conditions.
Designated execution
After trigger signal is applied, up to ten different inspections can be
executed immediately. This minimizes the time spent on switching
product types.

Inspection result of each block is stored until the next

A dedicated application can be created by controlling the
block execution timing externally.
Applications
Case 1
One work is moved and inspected numerous times then given a total judgment (inspection of target using split captures in order to obtain necessary resolution).
Total judgment result output with last block
