Vision Sensors

A vision sensor built for stability and simplicity. With built-in camera and optimized lighting, a wide area can be captured with an image and stable detection of multiple targets is possible even if they are misaligned. The lineup includes a model with AI that makes a wide range of pass/fail differentiations as simple and stable as possible.

IV4 series - Vision Sensor with Built-in AI

New Vision Sensor with Built-in AI IV4 series

Boasting the latest AI technology, the IV4-H makes it easy for anyone to configure the optimal image settings for detection. Parts can be detected without requiring position adjustment, while verification ensures the correct quantity is present in designated locations. Targets can be reliably detected and counted even in harsh environmental conditions. The new IV4-H model further enhances the simplicity and stability that has made the IV4 Series so popular. The improved brightness, wide-angle and narrow-angle field-of-view options, and highly optimised built-in hardware of the IV4-H deliver impressive stability, even when faced with environmental factors such as slight changes in ambient lighting or surface finishes. Even applications that are difficult to handle with conventional vision sensors can be easily completed with the IV4-H and its enhanced AI tools.

AI-Based Imaging: Delivering the Best Image Quality for Detection

Easy Configuration of the Optimal Image for Any User

AI Imaging II
With just one click, the system recommends the optimal images for detection. The sensor internally tests over 10,000 conditions (10 times more than previous models), then automatically extracts the images in which key features stand out clearly. Because AI automates image setup, which normally requires vision engineering experience, anyone can easily create the optimal image quickly.

Background Removal and Extraction of Only the Detection Target

AI Target Extraction
With conventional systems, installation conditions such as background noise or other surrounding elements often cause false detections. AI Target Extraction enables stable imaging and detection by removing sources of false detection from the surroundings.

Extensive Detection Tools That Simplify Previously Difficult Detection Tasks

AI Identify

By registering just a single image, stable detection can be ensured regardless of environmental changes or individual product variations.

Numeric Output Function

Use AI Identify and other tools to determine positional deviations of targets based on X, Y, and θ data.

AI OCR

The sensor recognises characters automatically by verifying against its internal information of learned characters, dates, and numbers. Characters that cannot be read with the built-in dictionary can be learned.

AI Count

Target features are extracted and learned from various points of view (including shape, colour, brightness, and edges). In AI Through Count mode, it is also possible to count the number of targets passing inline.

IV3 series - Vision Sensor with Built-in AI

Vision Sensor with Built-in AI IV3 series

Differing from conventional models, the IV3 Series Vision Sensor with Built-in AI automatically determines imaging conditions and detection conditions with its AI specifically designed for presence and difference checking. Installation and operation are simple: just determine the part to focus on and register a minimum of one OK and one NG image. No specialised knowledge or extensive time and effort for setup are required. The all-in-one design includes a lens and illumination, eliminating the need to select these devices and allowing for immediate finalization of detection results with no adverse effects from ambient light. Setting operations are performed using a small amplifier with a built-in high-performance CPU, eliminating the need for a separate high-performance PC. The ultra-compact head supports an extensive range of installation distances from 50 to 3000 mm, and the maximum field of view of 2730 × 2044 mm allows for detections from extremely wide angles, enabling a wide variety of applications.

Features

All-in-One Presence Detection Solution

AI-Based Imaging

The AI generates the optimum detection image with crisp edges, no glare, and no crushed blacks.
All settings—including illumination intensity, flash method, and exposure time—are automatically configured by the AI. The ideal imaging conditions can be derived for any environment or target conditions to ensure stable detection.

AI-Based Detection

Simply register OK and NG products to automatically configure the optimal settings for AI-based presence detection.
The built-in AI detects even slight differences to automatically configure the optimal detection settings. Because detection is based on target characteristics, stability can be ensured with no adverse effects from ambient light, individual product variations, or surface conditions.

Long-range & Various FOV

Select from a lineup of 10 heads designed to meet any application requirements. The IV3 Series can detect an area of up to 2730 mm x 2044 mm with an installation distance of 3000 mm, supporting image inspection in all industries.

IV2 series - Vision Sensor with Built-in AI

Vision Sensor with Built-in AI IV2 series

Achieve unmatched stability by utilising an intuitive artificial intelligence algorithm. No vision programming knowledge required for stable results.

Features

Stable Detection Thanks to an AI-Based Detection Algorithm

The IV2 Series Vision Sensor with Built-in AI is able to solve various problems conventional vision sensors and smart cameras have trouble with, including ambient light, individual differences of products, and changes in the positions of parts. The built-in AI, specially designed for presence/absence differentiation, is capable of detecting differences between registered images of acceptable and unacceptable products for automatically determining the best settings.

Oil stains

Misalignment

Varied surfaces

The AI Is Able to Optimize the Settings Automatically
This Makes It Possible For Anyone to Perform Measurements

The built-in AI analyzes registered OK and NG product images using various characteristics such as colour, brightness, shape, area, and edges to automatically configure optimal detection settings. Users need only register the OK and NG products to complete setup.

IV series - Vision Sensor

Vision Sensor IV series

Difficult applications that formerly required multiple conventional photoelectric sensors or proximity sensors can now be tackled easily and at low cost with one IV Series vision sensor.
