FHV7 Omron’s new series of autofocus inspection cameras provides advanced visual inspections on production lines with a commingling of various plastic products.
What’s new? The multicolor light camera series, which uses a next-generation, dual-core CPU that is four times faster than its predecessor.
Benefits Fast, precise inspection of parts. Cameras in the series can discern among various products, so, rather than assigning one camera to each kind of part, a factory can use an FHV7 camera to inspect an array of products; by selecting color parameters, users also can program the cameras to inspect a product that features a number of colors, or a variety of products with different colors. This setup reduces the need for equipment and camera changeovers. Also, because the series is modular, users can easily combine the lens and lighting variants that best apply to their needs.
