Products Lineup : Vision Systems
The VS-G Series is the new standard in customisable vision systems, meeting the needs of modern users who want to improve traceability, introduce AI, and avoid operator-dependent adjustments. It comes standard with dedicated storage, enabling complete traceability with a single controller. The high-speed processor with a 32-core AI engine significantly speeds up processing and supports AI-based image inspection on the controller. AI tuning, which optimises settings by simply selecting the target image through intuitive operations, also reduces adjustment time. This system not only performs inspections but also provides an ideal image inspection solution that considers long-term operational needs.
Features
32‑Core High‑Speed Processor with Built‑In AI Engine
Featuring a high-speed processor that delivers extraordinary processing speeds up to 13 times* faster than conventional processors. With the new high-speed parallel processing expansion unit, you can push speeds even further, past what a single controller can handle. Task-specific optimised design brings stability and increased program flexibility thanks to significantly increased memory. Outstanding processing performance for high-speed, heavy-duty inspections.
AI Inspection Power, Now in a Controller-Type System
Users can leverage AI tools with high detection capabilities while retaining the benefits of a controller-type system. This allows for the introduction of AI image inspection machines even in facilities and processes where implementation was previously abandoned due to barriers other than detection performance.
* VS-AD1 is required to use AI Segmentation and AI Detection Fine Mode.
WORLD’S FIRST
Built‑In Image Storage
Store Every Image Reliably, All in One Device
Features dedicated storage integrated into the controller. A dedicated design specialised for image storage from both a hardware and software perspective is what enables this reliable image storage system without missing any data.
Efficient Long-Term Image Storage
Compression that Maintains Image Quality
Equipped with a new image compression method, the system maintains image quality equivalent to the original while achieving over 100x compression. This allows for saving all images, including those of good parts that were previously discarded due to capacity constraints.
The VS Series delivers rapid machine vision solutions for a wide range of applications at any experience level. This smart camera includes the industry’s first optical zoom function to create optimal images with a single click. The simple-to-use software also enables quick setup of a variety of inspections for both AI and rule-based vision tools. With this simplified setup and ease-of-use interface, the VS Series provides optimised vision solutions as quickly as possible.
Features
Two AI Technologies for Automation of Previously Impossible Vision Inspections
[Technology 1] Increased detection performance: Proprietary KEYENCE algorithm for smart camera-based 25-megapixel high-accuracy AI inspection
[Technology 2] Increased operational efficiency: Quick and easy startup using a general-purpose PC and only a few dozen images for learning
Best Image with a Single Click
WORLD’S FIRST Optical System with Uncompromised Flexibility with ZoomTrax
The VS Series provides perfect software-based adjustment of focus and field of view. Single model handles everything from wide to narrow fields of view. No more lens selection or changes.
High Performance, Icon-driven system with easy-to-use tools for simple setup by any user.
Features
Intuitive, Icon-Driven Vision System Allows Anyone to Setup Reliable Product Inspections
The CV-X Series makes product inspections available to everyone with just a few clicks through Intuitive, interactive menus.
A Full Lineup of the Industry’s Fastest Cameras Providing Solutions to the Most Challenging Inspections in Manufacturing
A super-high-resolution 64M pixel camera has been newly added to our conventional lineup of area cameras. They are now selectable according to production line speed, installation space, and inspection target, bringing the total number of area cameras types in this lineup to 22.
Flexible programming interface with 3D and linescan capabilities for high-quality, high-speed inspection and control.
Features
Flexibility Made Possible By the Fastest Performance in the Industry
Abundant processing power is available even with multiple camera connections, including the 64 megapixel colour camera, lines scan cameras, or 3D cameras.
Offers the Best Solution with Many High-Resolution Camera Options
XG-X Series offers high-speed, high-resolution cameras for high-accuracy inspection, providing powerful solutions for a variety of problems that arise in manufacturing.
High-speed cameras for inspection and defect analysis on large parts, continuous webs, and cylinders.
Features
The Same Ease-of-Use of Area Cameras Is Available with a Line Scan Camera System
The controller with interchangeable camera modules makes it easy to incorporate a line scan inspection system that traditionally could only be done with complex, specialised machinery.
Hardware tough enough to handle continuous long-term operation
Built-in firmware eliminates issues with PC-based solutions.
Easy Camera Setup
The camera equipped with an "LED Pointer" allows the line camera to instantly find the position of the image it is capturing and find the optimal installation conditions in the shortest possible time.
In addition, the angle sensors mounted on the camera and lighting (*only for some models) not only find the optimal installation conditions in the shortest time possible, but also detect installation deviations during operation.
Line scan camera with LED Pointer
Cameras come equipped with LED Pointers. These pointers make it possible to instantly identify the location being imaged when the camera is installed.
Line scan camera settings navigator
Sensors are installed in the camera and lighting in order to digitally control the position of each. This reduces the time needed for previously time-consuming optical axis alignment.
Vision Systems for pick and place applications, with direct connection and automatic calibration for most major robot manufacturers.
Features
Bright, Uniform Illumination Even Over a Wide Field of View
With a wider field of view, brightness can be uneven with a noticeable difference in intensity between the centre and the edges of the screen.
Advanced imaging technologies such as overdrive lighting with high intensity smart ring illumination and HDR capturing help to minimise such differences even with a wide field of view.
Before
After
Support for Multiple Pallets and Tooling Changeover
ZoomTrax automatically changes the field of view to suit the size of the target, and automatic focusing makes it possible to handle pallets with different heights, allowing for usability in a wide variety of production environments without changing lenses.
