Omron FQ2 Image Sensor

FQ2 offers a cost-effective solution for a wide range of imaging applications. Advanced control in a compact structure. Enhanced performance and functionality.

• Presence-absent applications, measurement that does not require high precision, character and code reading, etc. A complete key product with its compact structure in the works
• It can be programmed on a PC with its touch panel and its own interface.
• Its internal illumination is high power and homogeneous.
• The sensor's digital outputs and power exchange are combined in a single connector.
• It can receive commands from PLC via Ethernet connector and also display measurement results, OK NG images, etc. Desired data such as can be stored on the computer or in an external memory.
• EtherNet IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET communication

• IP 67 protection class
• flexible cable
• Smart Click connector

It provides ease of installation at any angle and rotation with its bracket structure that can be attached to all 4 faces.

Control Tools

Shape Search 3

• It is unique compared to its counterparts in searching and matching shapes at high speed.
• It provides high precision and reliable location detection without being affected by ambient light and background.
• It can find multiple products 360 degrees even if the products overlap.

Search

• It is used to detect items such as labels and identify shapes or locations.

Sensitive Search

• The shape image is divided into small areas. It evaluates each area on its own. Thus, small undetectable differences can be detected with large numerical differences with this search.

Edge Controls

• All edge transitions in a region can be captured.
• The edge transition can be found and its position determined.
• The width between edges can be measured.

Area (Pixel Counting)

• The area of ​​the desired color in the specified region and the center of that color can be determined.

Color Data (Color Detection)

• The difference between colors can be detected from the received image.

• By taking the average of the color, foreign substances and objects that spoil the color on the product can also be detected by looking at the color deviation.

OCR (Optical Character Reading)

• Dictionary library with 80 different fonts for ease of reading
• Easy to read in bad prints and angular distortions
• Since Omron's OCR algorithm has ready-made font libraries, there is no need to register each character.

Code Reading

In areas that require reliable verification of barcodes and barcodes, the FQ2 is an excellent choice. All commonly used barcode types and 2D barcodes can be read.

It has unique features in reading DPM codes, where the product is directly branded.

Key Omron Technologies

Image Filters

• There are 11 different image filters.

• For example, to eliminate losses in images with unstable black-white transition, the image can be stabilized with a background suppression filter.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

Omron HDR function provides stable detection for applications where there is both excessive glare and dark areas at the same time.

True Color Detection

The Omron FQ2 image sensor features image processing technology that enables high-speed processing of full color images with a total of 16.7 million colors (256 shades per RGB channel). This means that image processing can be performed with the same color information as what the human eye sees under natural light. In this way, stable and accurate color controls can be made.

Higher Resolution and Greater Precision

Want a little more positioning precision?

Need a wider field of view? In the Omron FQ2 series, camera resolution increases up to 1.3 megapixels.

FQ2 Image sensor provides a wider field of view, you can get more sensitive and accurate results.
