ZFV VISION SENSOR

E a s y v i s i on – Te a c h & G o

Colour and grey scale versions available

The latest addition to the ZFV family is the ZFV Colour sensor.

Using this instead of the conventional monochrome sensor

widens the choice of applications and increases the stability

of measurement of the inspection. Through its automatic

colour filter function, image contrast is optimised, making

inspections more reliable. There are seven colour filters in

total; the one that obtains the most suitable contrast can be

automatically selected, so there’s no need to worry about

colour setting parameters.

A true “Easy vision –
Teach & Go” vision sensor

Omron’s ZFV is an innovative image-processing

system in a sensor format. What makes this sensor so

special is how easy it is to use; with its ‘Teach & Go’

concept you can configure an inspection routine in just

a few steps using the sensor’s integrated, high-

resolution colour LCD screen and simple menu system.

The screen provides live image display during set-up

and operation, and gives you instant feedback during

the inspection process. And a choice of controllers

gives you the tools to perform everything from simple

presence detection to advanced pattern recognition.

Intuitive user interface

The ZFV’s user interface is smart! You can set parameters

using a few buttons and the integrated LCD colour monitor.

Operation menus and icons guide you through a simple set-up

process. During operation, the LCD screen enables you to see

results and images in real-time. There’s no need to connect

an external PC for set-up, maintenance or operation viewing;

the ZFV supplies real-time images all the time. The ZFV provides

instant feedback - on board - exactly when you need it.

Your benefit: No expert knowledge required, minimised

downtime for setup and maintenance.

Width inspection

The Width tool measures an object, in this

case a label, to verify that it is not folded

or cut.

Multiple functions: “One Sensor Fits All” concept

Depending on the controller version, the ZFV contains up to 8 different tools; one can be selected at a time.

These sophisticated tools offer an affordable sensor with a very intuitive user interface. Both the monochrome and

colour version offer basically the same inspection functionality while the ZFV Colour uses the additional colour

information included in the image. The tools include:

Pattern recognition

This tool verifies if a symbol printed on

a package is present and complete using

a taught feature as a reference.

Hue verification

The Hue tool inspects colour differences in

a plain colour work-piece. A false colour cap

will be rejected.

Brightness: verifies objects using density

average and deflection.

Width: measures the width of an object

using Edge Tool.

Character (text): inspects one character and

the presence of a character string.

Hue: checks the difference between the

measured colour and a reference colour

(Colour version only).

Counting (number): uses Edge Count to count

the number of object edges.

Pattern (shape): recognises objects by the

difference of pattern and presence of pattern.

Area (size): verifies an object using size

(pixel count).

Position: verifies the position of an object

using Edge Tool.
