The new Xpectia FJ vision system from Omron allows vision solutions to be developed quickly and easily to meet the requirements of demanding applications. It features fast drag-and-drop programming, a choice of ready made but easily customisable HMIs and a comprehensive library of timesaving macros. The powerful yet intuitive development environment is complemented by a wide choice of cameras, controllers and lighting systems, all of which are guaranteed to be 100% compatible.
Savings of up to 50% in development time can be achieved compared to conventional vision systems. Users can choose from more than 60 image processing and inspection items and then drag-and-drop them to create the required inspection and measurement flow.
Ready made macros for calculation and other functions can be dragged into the flow in a similar way and, for the infrequent occasions where the function needed is not included in the Xpectia FJ software suite, users can develop their own algorithms using Microsoft Visual Studio and Omron’s Application Producer. The system is also compatible with the proven Halcon library of algorithms.
Developing the user interface for Xpectia FJ systems is also fast and straightforward. Users can choose from a library of buttons that can be positioned anywhere on the screen and camera images can be added with a single mouse click. In addition, up to eight independent screen layouts can be stored.
Controllers in the Xpectia FJ range use flash memory rather than hard disk drives, ensuring that they function reliably, even in tough operating environments. The controllers are Windows-based Open IPCs that are capable of running standard PC programs for functions such as additional data analysis or even robot control. Integral Ethernet support makes them easy to interface with machines of all types, and also allows remote monitoring as an aid to maintenance and fault finding.
The Xpectia FJ range comes with a choice of more than 20 different digital cameras, including high speed and intelligent compact models. In combination with the unique image processing technology, dependable and stable results are provided, even with challenging targets. A wide choice of lighting units is also offered, with lighting timing and power managed by the controller.
