The Next Generation of Advanced Color Sensing.
For Demanding, Color-Critical Applications.

 

The original Smart Sensor was designed to be easy enough for anybody to use, and our color model shares the same characteristic. The ZFV-C Color Smart Sensor is designed with the same Target, Teach, Go simplicity as the original ZFV.


The Color Filter function is completely automatic, and colors can be easily extracted while watching the monitor. This sensor is smart enough to handle even advanced applications.

 

Omron Color Technology

 

The Automatic Color Filter Function Adds Stability to Your Images

 

• This function increases the image contrast to make measurements more stable.

• There are a total of seven color filters in all.

• The one that obtains the most suitable contrast is automatically selected,
so there's no need to worry about color setting parameters.

 

The optimal filter is automatically selected. Before filter - Low contrast. After filter - Crisp and clear!

 

Simply Choose the Candidate Color to Complete Color Extraction

 

For items that use color extraction, you simply specify the area you want.
The color components in that area are then analyzed and the extraction color candidates are automatically displayed. All you have to do is select the color to be measured.


The extraction conditions for the candidate colors can also be fine-tuned if necessary. This is OMRON's unique human-machine interface for color extraction.

 

Extraction color candidates

 

Actual Color Measurement

 

• Inspecting for the intermixture of different-colored packages

Actual colors can be measured, and those differing from the reference color can be easily distinguished.

Detection of different-colored cap with OK and NG status

 

Simultaneous, One-touch Checking of Multiple Colors

 

• Inspecting for the intermixture of different cap types

Intelligent lighting enables changing the lighting pattern to obtain the optimum image for sensing. Lighting patterns can be controlled in either auto or manual mode.

Wider Field of View of 150mm

 

With an FOV from 5 to 150 mm, you can inspect even large workpieces that could not be previously handled.

Narrow View Type (ZFV-SC10); Standard Type (ZFV-SC50); Wide View Type (ZFV-SC90); Ultra-wide View Type (ZFV-SC150)

 

Adjustable View   Simple Focus Adjustment 

An easy to use, manual focus adjustment on the camera eliminates the need to change the head or modify programming for different workpiece sizes.

 

Adjustment Control

 

 

Optimize Lighting Pattern   Intelligent Lighting  

ZFV-SC10/-SC50/-SC90

The lighting pattern can be varied to ensure a uniformly bright display even when the Sensor Head is mounted at an angle.

 

Select auto or manual control.

 

 

Fast Mounting   Multi-mount Bracket 

ZFV-SC10/-SC50/-SC90

Mounts to either of the four Sensor Head surfaces, allowing highly flexible mounting and removal.

Optional Lighting with Easy, One-touch Mounting

 

ZFV-SC50/-SC90

A wide variety of optional Lighting Units are available for when the light intensity of the integrated lighting is not sufficient, or when through-beam lighting or some other lighting method is required. Simply plug in the connector to add on.


There is also no need for a special power supply for lighting. Plus, the optional Units feature strobe lighting in sync with the Sensor Head shutter, to provided stable lighting for an extended period of time.

 

Bar-type low-angle lighting (ZFV-LTL04); Light source for through-beam lighting (ZFV-LTF01)

 

 

Vision Amplifier with Monitor Features

 

• Integrated with a 1.8-inch LCD monitor, this Amplifier is the same compact size as our monochrome models.

• It enables operation while viewing the image, so the measurement status can be checked while the line is moving.

• It also features USB and RS-232C interfaces for connection to a personal computer.

 

 

Selectable Display Patterns   One-touch Display Selection 

Select the image display that is easiest to see from among color, monochrome, and color extraction display patterns.

 

One-touch Display Selection

 

 

 

Quick and Easy Operation   Function Keys 

Fixed keys are allotted with various functions for easy, one-touch operation.

 

Easy Operation Function Keys

 

 

Japanese-English Selection   Multi Menu 

The menu can be switched to Japanese or English to match the application.

 

 

High-speed Color Processing

 

• The processing speed is approximately the same as that for monochrome, even when detecting color images with high precision.

• OMRON's image processing technologies remove the usual hesitation to use color processing due to its reduced efficiency.

 

 

The Industry's Fastest   Real-time Search 

An original CCD drive technology and image processing engine enable ultra-fast response by processing data as the image is being captured.

 

The actual image processing time thus becomes zero, making the total processing speed 13 ms maximum.

Max. speed: 13 ms

 

 

Even Faster - 5ms   Partial Capture Function 

The image processing speed can be further increased by limiting the image capture to only the part that is required for inspection. Image processing requires 8 ms in FAST mode, and 5 ms (max. speed) in MAX mode.

 

Max. speed: 5 ms

 

 

Excellent Expandability Meets Even More Applications

 

• With today's rapid pace of new product development, it is essential to select sensors that have future expandability.

• The Color Smart Sensor provides the same level of quality control as larger sensor systems, thanks to its newly enhanced application capabilities and data management and analysis.

 

 

Flexible Combinations   High-speed Digital Bus Connection 

Controllers can now be directly connected to prevent delays in response. By altering the connection, multiple areas can be simultaneously processed, measurement
items can be combined, and the output from two Sensor Heads can be integrated.
This also provides sufficient response to future workpiece changes.
 

Flexible Combination: From Basic Connection, Expanded Application Connection, Result Integration Connection to Composite Connection

 

 

Convenient for Personal Computer Operation and Management 

 New Smart Monitor 

The special Smart Monitor software allows settings, logging, data management, and
data saving on a personal computer.

 

Personal Computer Application

 

Easy Operation Achieved by Considering the Operator's Viewpoint

 

• In addition to offering easy basic operation, the ZFV Color Smart Sensor has been designed to provide the best possible operation in a variety of situations.

• It helps your quality control system evolve and become smarter by allowing machines to handle the bothersome tasks.

 

 

Handy for Maintenance   I/O Monitor Function 

The parallel I/O status can be displayed on the monitor to simplify wiring checks, to make maintenance and system start-up faster and easier.
