Smart Camera
last update: July 1, 2021
The FHV7 Smart Camera provides several options for components, allowing you to freely combine the lens and light with the camera and easily adjust the optical conditions to specific products. The footprint of the camera is not affected by module replacement. Even if a sudden change occurs in the product specification, the system can be ready after minimum rearrangement.
An all-in-one models with lens modules and light modules are also available.
Maintains IP67 waterproof structure even after module replacement, allowing use in wet conditions.
Captive screws are used in the modules.
The screws do not drop on products.
By connecting the lighting controller, you can, from FHV7's setting window, easily adjust the light emission intensity and set light emissions to synchronize with the release of the shutter.
The light cover and optical filter are replaceable, so you don't need to prepare a protection cover against dirt.
Multi-color light provides a quick solution to the issue of measuring different colors. For example, objects with variously colored packages on a production line are properly measured with the light that changes its illumination color to fit each object. When the product design is changed or a new models is added, you can simply change a parameter instead of replacing or fine-tuning lights. The production line is always ready for a wider variety of product.
As a product has more color options, some of the colors may cause low contrast under a single color illumination. The multi-color illumination allows switching colors for different product color options, ensuring stable inspections.
When inspecting products such as plastic bottles that come in different sizes, you can perform a changeover only by switching the setting of the autofocus lens. The autofocus lens does not need the mechanism for moving the camera.
The image sensor with a 12 megapixels enables highprecision inspections for wider areas. This eliminates the need for installing multiple cameras or a mechanism to move a camera to capture different inspection points on different models on the same production line.

Accurate and extensive inspection of parts mounting points on different automobile models is enabled without moving cameras.
The inspection time can be reduced to 1/4 *1 of that required for existing sensors. You can carry out more precise, detailed quality inspection while keeping the same cycle time.
Precise inspection with high-resolution images is possible while keeping the same cycle time as before. The FHV7 Smart Camera raises production quality with its ability to detect tiny tears or scratches on labels, which could not be previously detected.
The FHV7 Smart Camera provides an optimal solution for a problem of longer cycle times caused by inspection points added to raise production quality. You don't need to divide the field of view into several parts and assign them to multiple cameras or install a high-speed vision system.
Measured values may change gradually due to workpiece variation or changes in external circumstance. Even in such cases, distributed processing across 2 cores allows you to perform cause analysis and setting adjustments as you make measurements. You can eliminate downtime and visual inspection of uninspected items.
