Custom vision is easy with Xpectia FJ

Savings of up to 50% on development time compared with the use of conventional vision systems can be readily achieved with the Xpectia FJ system. Users simply choose from more than 60 image processing and inspection items, 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  When a 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 well-proven Halcon library of algorithms, expanding the capability for even the most demanding application.

Developing the user interface for Xpectia FJ systems is equally 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 means that the Xpectia FJ system is easy to interface with any other type of machine and can be remotely accessed assisting engneers with maintenance and faultfinding.

The Xpectia FJ range offers a choice of more than 20 different digital cameras, including high speed and intelligent compact models. In combination with our unique image processing technology dependable and stable results are provided even with challenging targets. A wide choice of lighting units is also offered in the range, with lighting timing and power managed by the controller.
