OMRON's top-of-the-line FZ2 Vision Sensor handles essentially any type of inspection or measurement. To achieve this OMRON has raised sensing performance beyond the competition.
Another "dimension" has been added to advanced color and resolution capabilities to develop the world's first Vision Sensor capable of 3-dimensional measurements.
"Color," "resolution," and "3D" capabilities were combined to provide the ultimate solution to all your future inspection needs.

Real Color Sensing as It Is (World's First)

The Vision Sensor recognizes 256 gradations of each of the RGB colors, so over 16.77 million colors are captured. It also features a completely new high-speed image processing technology.
The Vision Sensor processes color data approaching the abilities of the human eye, so stable measurements are possible even in lighting conditions that are similar to natural light.
Subtle variations in color are thus accurately recognized, even when there is little contrast between the sample and the background.

By combining advanced 3D processing technology with our own unique calibration technology, OMRON has succeeded in creating the world's first commercially viable sensor capable of 3D measurements. Installed inline it can instantaneously measure length, width, and height, making it possible to automate processes that until now have relied on human labor.

Our lineup includes both Black & White and Real Color Sensors equipped with 2-million-pixel CCDs, which offer the best resolution available

Presenting the newly evolved version of our Mega ARCS Engine featuring Processing Boost Software (PBS) architecture and the fastest CPU in the industry. This new engine allows you to perform "yet another inspection item" beyond what was previously possible.
This high-speed processing capability becomes increasingly valuable as data volumes increase, for example when conducting inspections of multiple locations simultaneously, or when processing high-resolution images.

80-fps Ultra High-speed Input (Fastest in the industry)

Our camera image capture speeds have improved dramatically. Our 300,000-pixel camera boasts high-speed recording at 80 fps, much faster than conventional cameras. Even our 2-million-pixel high-definition processing cameras have capture speeds of 30 fps.

Each camera has its own image buffer for storing image data that is separate from the main memory used for measurement processing. This allows for up to 32 frames of continuous high-speed image capture even while the main memory is processing measurement data.

Up to four Cameras connected to a single Controller

Nine different types of camera are available, and up to four cameras can be connected to a single controller. Different kinds of cameras can be connected simultaneously to the same controller, making it possible to combine both color cameras and black & white cameras, or 300,000-pixel and 2-million-pixel cameras. All the cameras required for the inspection job can be attached to a single controller for more optimal image capture.

*The FZ2-ST2C can be connected only to a FZD Controller, and uses two of its channels.

For Mixed Production Lines

World's first image processing camera with autofocus. With this Camera, there is no need to change the camera position or adjust settings, including zoom and illumination pattern, when making layout changes.

For High-speed Production Lines

Despite the small size, an image capture speed of 80 fps has been obtained, the fastest in this class.

For High-definition Inspections

High resolution at 2 million pixels, and an image capture speed of 30 fps (33.3 ms), fastest in its class. This high-precision camera provides both high resolution and high-speed image capture, and is also compact at 1/4th the size of previous models.

For 3D Measurements

Sophisticated 3D measurements are now possible with this advanced new camera system. Measurements are possible at a distance of up to 2 m. Select between integrated or separated models depending on the installation distance.

Supporting Tool for Your Efficient Operation

(OMRON Only) Flow Menu Programming

OMRON's unique Flow Menu is built into the FZ2. This makes it possible to change measurements depending on inspection results or input conditions. It is now easy to make the equivalent of programming changes, such as changing measurement regions for workpiece tolerances, or switching to different measurement items depending on the workpiece.

Measuring a Single Sample while Changing the Illumination Conditions

For example:
When measuring objects with uneven surfaces, the optimal illumination conditions often depend on which part of the object is being measured. In such cases, the flow menu can be used to make select processing, and to arrange and join them together so that multiple images can be captured while changing the illumination conditions by means of a single trigger signal.
