Industrial automation solutions specialist Omron Automation Americas recently proclaimed the release of a brand new FHV7-series smart camera with an all-new multi-color light and high-resolution image sensor for expert vision assessments on high-mix production lines.High-performance smart cameras like the FHV7 make it viable to easily adopt vision assessment into versatile manufacturing processes. Equipped with a multi-color light and an autofocus lens, the FHV7 can respond flexibly to changes in the color and size of objects to be checked. This removes the need for multiple cameras or manual lens alterations and guarantees compatibility with wide-ranging inspection criteria on lines producing many different forms of products in varying quantities.The smart camera’s image processing reaches industry-leading speeds, while its camera delivers industry-leading resolution for accomplishing higher precision in inspections and keeping quality without slowing production down. Added to these capabilities is a high-speed image compression algorithm that compresses data at double the typical speed, enabling all image data to be saved while in parallel inspecting a second image. This facilitates complete traceability in production processes where quality control is paramount.
