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.

Backing Up Data Section 4-3

4-3 Backing Up Data

This section explains how to ma ke backup copies of data to flash memo ry or a computer.

When the power to the F160 is turned OFF, all data settings are cleared. The F160 loads data saved to flash memory at startup. Therefore, when settings are changed, in order not to lose these settings, be sure to save them to flash memory.

The 5 types of system and scene data listed below can be backed up on a computer or Memory Card. The same data can also be loaded from a computer to the F160. Saving and loading data enables using the same data on other F160 C ontrollers.

It is recommended that data is backed up in case data is lost or the F160 malfunctions.

Data Contents

System data Settings under SYS. Scene group data Scene data (scenes 0 to 31) for specified scene group. Scene data Settings under SET. System data and

scene group data Image data Sa ved measurement images in BMP format. This is the basic

image format for Windows and so the images can be displayed on a personal computer.

CHECK Image data is saved as frame images.

Even if Field is selected for the Camera mode, the images will be converted to frame images before being saved.

Precaution Do not turn OFF the power or input a RESET signal while a message is being

display ed in an y sa ve or load oper ation . Data in memory will be des tro y ed, and the F160 may not operate correctly the next time it is started.

CHECK Depending on the contents of the settings, it may not be possible to backup

data to a Memory Card because of insufficient memory. In this case, a message will be displayed on the screen. Delete unnecessary scenes.

4-3-1 Backing Up to a Personal Computer

This section desc ribes da ta transfer proce dur es, using Hyper Terminal, a standard tool for Windows 98 and Windows NT4.0.

This example is based on the presumption that an RS-232C cable has been commented to the COM1 port on the personal computer. Make the necessary adjustments when the cable is connected to a different port. If using different communications software, refer to th e relevant manual.

Data is transferred using XMODEM (-CRC or -SUM) or ZMODEM protocol. XMODEM (-1K) is not supported.

Backing Up Data Section 4-3

1. Connect the RS- 232 C c able to th e C OM1 port on the p er sona l c ompu ter and the RS-232C/422 connector on the F160.

2. Make the F160 communications settings (serial). The default communications settings are as shown in the following table.

These settings can Normally be used.

Item Setting

Communications protocol RS-232C Baud rate 38,400 (bps) Data length 8 (bits) Parity bits None Stop bits 1 (bit) Protocol XMODEM

Note Both XMODEM and ZMODEM transfer protocols are supported.

Use the protocol that matches the computer settings.

3. Start the Hyper Terminal program on the computer and mak e the f ollo wing communications settings. The same communications settings must be

used on both the F160 and the modem on the computer.

Item Setting

Baud rate 38,400 (bps) Data length 8 (bits) Parity bits None Stop bits 1 (bit) Flow control None (See note.)

(See note.)

Note XMODEM or ZMODEM protocol is used, so flow control is not per-

formed.

Checking Image Density Distribution : Line Brightness Section 4-4

4-4 Checking Image Density Distrib ution: Line Brightness

The graph showing the density distribution for 1 line in an image is called the line brightness graph. The line brightness can be shown for any line in a horizontal or vertical direction.

Vertical line density

Vertical line Use the Left and Right Keys to move this line to where the density is to be checked.

Graph line The graph lines displayed at the left of the screen indicate density distribution for vertical lines.

Line brightness

Density range X: 36 - 235 Y: 20 - 232

Minimum to maximum density for horizontal lines. Minimum to maximum density for vertical lines.

255

Horizontal line density

Horizontal line Use the Up and Down Keys to move this line to where the density is to be checked.

CHECK Using Line Brightness

• Use to check if the light distribution is uneven.

If a homogeneous color is being displayed but the graph has an incline, it indicates that the lighting is uneven.

• Use to find how great the density difference is between the location to be measured and the background.

Example: Defect detection

Graph line The graph lines displayed at the bottom of the screen indicate density distribution for horizontal lines.

Observe the bumps in the graph line to determine how much difference in density can be detected in what areas.
