High efficiency for compact power supplies
Omron has extended its range of power supplies with the launch of the S8PE - a powerful, high efficiency, new line of 3-phase power supplies designed for industrial applications.
This means that the high-speed information transfer of Images, inspection data, upload and download of parameters to and from anywhere in the customer's network will no longer be a problem.
High resolution, digital cameras The F500 is the first to be able to handle two high-resolution (1K x 1K) digital cameras based on the Camera Link standard.
This, together with its extraordinary image quality compared to an analogue camera, makes the F500 the perfect solution for applications where high precision is required.
Easy-to-use GUI Like all of Omron's vision systems, the F500 features an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) that simplifies the system's set-up and configuration for vision inspection tasks.
There's no need for external programming; pull-down menus guide the user through the set-up routines.
Later this year Omron will introduce optional PC-based configuration software.
Using the high-speed Ethernet connection, users will be able to configure a single F500 system or a network of systems from a central PC platform.
As the 'built-in' user interface, the PC-based configuration software will provide an easy-to-use GUI.
Advanced tools Advanced inspection algorithms in the F500 ensure that the inspection process is fast and ultra precise.
These algorithms include lots of inspection and measurement tools, including the unique Quest Optical character recognition tool, an EC (edge code) detection tool for extremely precise object location, and many more.
