Vision Sensors Section 1-1

1-1 Vision Sensors

Vision Sensors work in place of the human eye to perform inspections by processing images using cameras. The visual inspections can be automated and complicated inspections can be performed accurately at high speeds.

The OMRON F160 Vision Sensor helps create production lines with a highly efficient inspection system, which is important to meet current demands for small-lot, variable-product production, produce greater added-value, and improve product quality.

Using the F160 yields a high return on investments by ensuring the following benefits:

• Repetitive work is reduced.

• More complicated, more precise inspections are possible.

• Inspection data management is easier (CIM, GMP, ISO9000).

• Working hours can be shortened.

• Less 3-D work (difficult, dirty, dangerous) is required.

• Work can be performed by less experienced staff.

Inspection Types Section 1-2

1-2 Inspection Types

Presence

Presence inspections detect whether a component, mark, hole, etc., is at a specified position on the workpiece.

SeeAlso Refer to page 28.

Inspecting for the Presence of a Medical Tablet

• Inspections for labels.

• Inspecti ons for electronic parts on PCBs.

• Inspections for soldering on PCBs.

Conformity

SeeAlso Refer to page 48.

Conformity inspections check whether or not the workpiece matches a registered product image.

Inspecting for Package Conformity

• Model checks based on grading marks.

• IC model checks based on numbe r of leads.

• Model checks based on shape.

Inspection Types Section 1-2

Orientation

Orientation inspections detect the orientation of the workpiece to see if it is facing correctly.

SeeAlso Refer to page 50.

Checking Label Orientation

• Checks for IC orientation and front/back positioning.

Position

Positi on ins pections find the position of a sp ec ifi ed m ark, hol e , o r othe r feature and determine whether or not it is within the correct range.

SeeAlso Refer to page 52.

Inspecting for Label Displacement

• Checks for printing displacement.

• Checks for registration marks on liquid crystal.

• Position checks for PCBs.

• Position checks for screw holes.

Inspection Types Section 1-2

Dimensions

Dimension inspections check the relationship between two specified points and determine whether or not th e dista nce betw een t he two p oints is withi n the correct range.

SeeAlso Refer to page 57.

Checking Bolt Length

• Dimension checks for molded products, such as connectors.

• Inspections for pin pitch of capacitors.

Chips and Burs

Chip and bur inspections check for chips and burrs on the profile and circumference of workpieces.

SeeAlso Refer to page 62.

Inspecting for Chips and Burrs on O Rings

• Inspections for chips and burs on plastic molded parts.

Inspection Types Section 1-2

Surfaces

Surface inspections check for defects and impurities within a specified range.

SeeAlso Refer to page 63.

Checking for Marks on Sheets

• Checks for pin holes

• Checks for bubbles on liquid crystal panels.

• Checks for cracks in cast items.

• Checks for impurities in liquids.

Advantages of Conversational Menus Section 1-3

1-3 Adv antages of Conversational Menus

Operating guidance is given on the monitor screen and settings can be made easily by entering information as requested - just as though you are having a conversation with the F160. Try the Conversational Menus if using a Visual Sensor for the first time or if you want to set the inspection conditions simply.
