The PV310 achieves ultra high-speed image processing by:
• utilizing two processors
(image processor + high-performance RISC CPU)
• optimizing its software
(unique, high-speed image processing algorithm)
Excellent Peripheral Functions of the PV310
Ultra-Compact Camera
(12 mm diameter)
Ultra-compact camera have been added to the conventional variety of
cameras already supported. This facilitates miniaturizing target
equipment and retrofitting cameras in narrower spaces.
New Function
Branch Execution/Designated Execution
Change inspection routines immediately! Tooling changes are a thing of
the past!
Branch
execu-
tion
Branches the instruction
stream to choose an
inspection to be executed
depending on the test results.
Image data can be saved on a CF card even during inspection, which allows you to
examine the data in your office at your convenience or transfer configuration settings to
another Imagechecker.
You can also transfer image data via Ethernet. You can set the file name to be transferred,
image output method, etc. The software which allows you to receive data is available on
our website free of charge.

High-Speed Enhancements
[High Speed 1]
Smart Matching
Detects the presence (or absence) of a pattern (object) in
the search area that matches the template registered.
Detection of sub-pixel position possible with gray scale
matching. In addition, using the gray scale differential
processing function, shape inspection, e.g. to detect chips
or other flaws in an object, can also be carried out
simultaneously.
[High Speed 2]
Feature Extraction
Features, such as the number of objects, the area, central
coordinates, angle of the main axis, projection width or
perimeter length, can be extracted using a binary image.

Gray Scale Window
An area can be created in a 256 gray scale image, with a
rectangular, circular or polygonal shape over the area
where object detection is to take place. An average value
for the brightness data (gray scale value) for all pixels in
that area can be calculated.
[High Speed 4]
Gray Scale Edge
The distance between lead pins or pitch size can be
measured for an inspection object. Parameters allow settings
to be made in great detail. Using the extreme accuracy of
sub-pixel processing, the edge in question can be reliably
extracted for a wide variety of object states.

Smart Matching
Detection of sub-pixel position possible with gray
scale matching. In addition, using the gray scale
differential processing function, shape inspection,
etc. can also be carried out simultaneously. Memory
capacity has been increased 4 times over previous
models, allowing support for an even wider range of
applications.
Detects registered

Feature Extraction
Features, such as the number of objects, workpieces,
area, central coordinates, angle of the main axis,
projection width or perimeter length can be extracted.
Differential Function
Based on the position information obtained by the
matching function, the registered object and detected
object are overlapped and compared on a pixel-bypixel basis. Any pixels with a difference in brightness
over a certain level are detected. The area value of
such pixels can then be used to make pass/fail
judgments.

Gray Scale Window
An inspection area can be created in a 256 gray
scale image, with a rectangular, circular or polygonal
shape, over the area where object detection is to take
place. An average value for the brightness data (gray
scale value) for all pixels in that area can be
calculated.
Numerical Calculation/
Judgment Output
The numerical output function has been greatly
simplified so that even a novice can set it easily.
Operation has also become even easier as both
numerical calculations and judgment output can now
be set on the same screen (up to 96 formulas).
360° Contour Matching
Stable position detection is possible even for objects
that overlap because their contours can be extricated.
The range of settings has been doubled and support
has been added for 4 cameras.
Rotation/Position Adjustment
Highly accurate and reliable inspection is realized by automatically adjusting object orientation
and stop position deviation.
Complicated adjustments are also possible using the multiple adjustment function.

Collective Movement
Checkers that have been set can be moved
collectively all at once. This is useful for fine
adjustment when re-setting cameras. It is also
convenient when transferring product type data to a
different device.

Image Storage
Using a calendar function, the date a defect was
discovered and the number of inspections can be
added to saved color images. This is useful for later
verification (checking a defective product against a
saved image) and for analyzing defect tendencies.
Gray scale values for the image are displayed
in an easily understandable table.
Security
Passwords can be set in "environment" - "initial
settings". Vital setting data can be protected from
careless operating errors.
Global Support
(Multi-language Display & CE
Compliance)
Considering that the device may be shipped
overseas, the display can be switched between 6
different languages. The controller and dedicated
cameras are standardized items and CE compliant.
(Japanese)
The "Parallel Monitor" function is also useful during
actual operation for monitoring parallel input and
output signals to and from the PV310.
