Compact and Robust
The FQ Vision Sensor is the most compact solution combining a camera
and an image processor within one housing. No need for costly and
space-consuming external lighting, thanks to the built-in lens and
high performance LED. The IP67 protections class enables the Vision
Sensor to be
used even in harsh environments.
A New Benchmark in Image Clarity
As well as being a landmark in simplicity, the Omron FQ Vision Sensor
also gives you the very best in image quality and clarity. For the
first time in this class you can now benefit from a range of advanced
image capture and processing features. Power LEDs, HDR, polarization
and halation filters enable stable inspections on surfaces where
conventional vision sensors see nothing.
The clear image enables a simple installation, as the angle of view is
not critical anymore.
Print industry: multicolor objects
Real Color Sensing
All RGB gradations (16+ million) are processed directly. No grayscale
conversion or color filtering required.

Electrical parts: lowest contrast
High Power Lighting
Contrast was once a major issue in image processing. With the FQ
Vision Sensor however, every image is bright and clear, with perfect
contrast for reliable results.
|
Automotive: shiny and reflective
HDR Sensing
Variations in lighting conditions can cause unwanted glare or
halation. HDR minimizes these effects, maximizing the stability of
inspection results, even countering piece-to-piece variation or
misalignment.

Simply the Most Flexible Product of Its Type
Flexibility meets simplicity in the Omron FQ Vision Sensor, in design,
functionality and ease of use.
Suitable for all types of processing and packaging applications, it
can be tailored to meet even the most demanding requirements, and any
operational concept.
You Decide How to Setup and Configure
•
PC or standalone
•
Local or remote
•
Portable or fixed
•
Permanent or temporary
You have full control over the Omron FQ Vision Sensor, including a
live image feed. Only connect the Touch Finder console or PC tool when
necessary. Choose permanent installation with DIN rails, or the
portable version, with rechargeable battery for full freedom of use.
Multi-Control - One for All
If your application uses multiple FQ Vision Sensors, they can be
linked and controlled via one Touch Finder or PC tool.
Match Your Field of View
No matter whether you handle large or small workpieces, the range of
Omron FQ Vision Sensors offers a perfect match. Select the FQ model
with the appropriate range and adjust the field of view to your
application. Focusing is quick and easy too, enabling you to use the
sensor for a variety of applications.
Extensive range: field of view from 7.5 - 300mm.
 
 
Guided by Simplicity
The FQ Vision Sensor takes you into a new dimension of simplicity and
intuitive user guidance. Always know where you are thanks to the
innovative navigation menu. You are guided step by step, and will
quickly learn how to navigate directly to any set-up item.
Use the powerful auto-functions of this Vision Sensor to find the ideal settings.
Let the FQ support you through the initial setup and any fine tuning
or configuration changes.
Users do not need to be experts in image sensors, since the processing
intelligence is incorporated in the unit itself.
Various inspection result views are available: overview, detail, trend
or distribution. This Vision Sensor display options give you the results you need
to make informed decisions about your production.

Trouble-free Operation On Site
Real-time Threshold Adjustment
The FQ Vision Sensor allows fast and easy real-time parameter
adjustment.
Eliminating the need to stop the machine for fine tuning and
optimisation of settings, resulting in zero machine downtime.
Inspection History Logging
Historical results logging is very useful for testing a new line.
Samples are fed down the line and inspection results are logged.
The logged data can be checked on a time scale in graph form and used
to adjust judgment conditions.
File Logging is convenient during operation. Large inspection
histories can be saved in SD cards and used later for traceability.
Auto Detection
When multiple sensors are connected to the touch finder, the display
automatically switches to the image of the sensor which has produced
an NG result.
This allows dynamic visualisation of reject conditions.
Authentic Vision Technologies Are Gathered on FQ
Real Color Sensing
Most vision sensors on the market operate using grayscale image
processing, due to the high demand of processing color images.
However, many applications may be unsuitable or unstable using
grayscale processing due to the requirement of color inspection or
poor image contrast.
In order to offer solutions for such issues, the FQ Vision Sensor
combines a high power processor unit and real-color processing
technology which enables fast inspections using color images.
The same technology is used in Omron's flagship model of vision
sensors and is widely utilised throughout industry.
HDR Sensing
Glossy & highly reflective surfaces can often result in "halation" or
uneven brightness across an image, coupled with inconsistent workpiece
placement inspections can become unstable and unreliable. Such
halation is a result of the narrow dynamic range of standard vision
sensors.
Omron independently developed a High Dynamic Range (HDR) function and
used it in our flagship model of vision sensors along with Real Color
Sensing.
The result is stable detection of objects which are highly reflective,
even if workpiece placement is not consistent.
High Power Lighting
Providing suitable illumination for inspections can often be the
deciding factor between application success or failure.
Especially when inspecting large field of views, even and consistent
lighting can be difficult to achieve.
In order to handle such issues, a new DR optical system has been
developed for the FQ Vision Sensor. This system effectively uses all
of the LED light to maintain consistent brightness across the field of
view at twice the brightness of previous models.
Passing light through the polarizing filter cuts off the specular
reflection light which can result from highly reflective objects.
