Omron Healthcare ZFX-C User Manual

Including two shape measurement items, the system contains 5 categories and 9 types of 
Shape, Size, Edge, Bright and Hue, Application measurement items. 
It responds to the variety of inspection requirements in the manufacturing sites.

The individual threshold for the hue, saturation and brightness value 
parameters can be set up so that even if one of them is different, it can be 
detected accurately and intensely. On the other hand, by expanding the range 
for the brightness value and saturation, and so on, it is possible to stabilize the 
color detection in the hue without any interference from illumination alterations.

Based on the change in brightness, the 
presense of a screw (OK or NG) is 
determined.

In one captured image, it is possible to 
measure a multiple up to 32 regions. 
When carrying out difficult inspection, it is 
possible to set-up a color filter and color 
extraction for each measurement item.

LED illumination is determined based on the area 
of extracted color.

Measures three regions.

Up to 32 regions

For each measurement item, it is possible to 
run 8 types of gray filtering such as 
expansion and contraction to enable stable 
measurements. Through the “setup while 
looking” option that makes it possible to 
check the preview, the optimal gray filtering 
can be selected.

Gray filtering setup 
using double screen

It is possible to register the image used in the setup. When you use the live 
image during setup sometimes the set up is not correct due to position 
differences in the work. However, with the registered image saved in the SD 
memory card as a“master image for setup”, it can be easily verified when 
abnormal measurements occur.

Screen registration function

It is possible to make arithmetical calculations for measurement values, and 
calculations involving general functions, trigonometry, geometrical functions and 
logical functions. It is possible to setup internal variables, and complex calculations 
can be carried out.

It is possible to detect even the smallest differences in the work.

A further improvement is the balance achieved in revolving 
searches that occur in pattern matching for a revolving 
work. The most time-consuming 360-degree revolving 
search can be performed with an excellent accuracy.

  Pattern search

The shape measurement is a fundamental algorithm for image processing. By adopting a new 

image processor, the pattern search achieves a balance in the three factors of speed, 

precision and stabilization, something that 

was an arduous task until now. It now 

supports a 360-degree revolving search and 

a sub-pixel processing of 1000 to 1 pixel 

units as well as a multi area searcher. The 

robust pattern search can respond to the 

multitude of inspects and measurements of 

any application.

  Sensitive search

When it comes to the difficult processing of detecting small differences, the Omron's 

unique sensitive search matches 

work at a smallest detail and in doing 

so makes such detection all the more 

possible.It resists variations in 

position and density to capture even 

the smallest detail in the complex 

patterns.

  Hue

The three factors in color, i.e. hue, saturation and brightness 

value, are measured and digitalized. And whilst an accurate 

differentiation of the color is performed, it is also possible to 

measure the color variety with the deviation measurement 

function (with color camera connected).

  Bright

Measures the brightness 

within a region. It can be 

used for checking the 

presense of a component, 

etc., by generating 

average density and 

density deviation values.

  Position

The existence or not and the position 

of the edge is measured. Oblique 

edges can now be measured even in 

complex conditions and even more 

accurate position measurements can be taken. The peak 

bottom measurement function that can accurately capture 

the edges is now supported.

  Width

The width of the edge is measured. 

By using the edge partitioning 

method, it is possible to measure the 

maximum and minimum width.

  Count

The number of edges inside the area 

is counted. Based on the number of 

edges on the pre-registered good 

model, it counts the edges in the 

area and determines the correctness.

  Region

Detects the existence of work within a 

region and measures its size based on 

the area to perform various 

classification.

  Defect

It is used to detect smears, scratches, 

chipping and burrs on the work. Defects 

are displayed on the screen, which makes 

it ideal tool for visual inspection.
