Vision Sensors
A sensor to solve any detection application. With built-in camera and optimised 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 easy and stable as possible.
Products Lineup
Differing from conventional models, the IV3 Series Vision Sensor with Built-in AI automatically determines imaging conditions and detection conditions with its AI specifically designed for presence and difference checking. Installation and operation are simple: just determine the part to focus on and register a minimum of one OK and one NG image. No specialised knowledge or extensive time and effort for setup are required. The all-in-one design includes a lens and illumination, eliminating the need to select these devices and allowing for immediate finalization of detection results with no adverse effects from ambient light. Setting operations are performed using a small amplifier with a built-in high-performance CPU, eliminating the need for a separate high-performance PC. The ultra-compact head supports an extensive range of installation distances from 50 to 3000 mm, and the maximum field of view of 2730 × 2044 mm allows for detections from extremely wide angles, enabling a wide variety of applications.
Features
All-in-One Presence Detection Solution
AI-Based Imaging
The AI generates the optimum detection image with crisp edges, no glare, and no crushed blacks.
All settings—including illumination intensity, flash method, and exposure time—are automatically configured by the AI. The ideal imaging conditions can be derived for any environment or target conditions to ensure stable detection.
AI-Based Detection
Simply register OK and NG products to automatically configure the optimal settings for AI-based presence detection.
The built-in AI detects even slight differences to automatically configure the optimal detection settings. Because detection is based on target characteristics, stability can be ensured with no adverse effects from ambient light, individual product variations, or surface conditions.
Smart Camera and Compact Model for Use Anywhere
- Megapixel camera for long-range detection over a wide field of view
- Compact design for easy retrofitting or equipment improvement
- High-intensity lighting with no adverse effects from ambient light
Achieve unmatched stability by utilising an intuitive artificial intelligence algorithm. No vision programming knowledge required for stable results.
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.
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.
