Original LSI with CPU integrated
ECO-Engine: OPTimum CPU Ver.5

• The MVS features an Optex original design LSI with CPU integrated, we were able to integrate the vision process engine into the camera unit.

  This solution provides high speed image processing and accurate inspection for a variety of applications. Each camera processes the image internally and transmits the result to the controller.

• 

No change in response speed when operating multiple cameras
Three Cameras inspect independently

• We utilized a new technology in the MVS that features low heat generation and low power dissipation. This concept was originally developed for the CVS series as an all-in-one design, the same technique was carried over to the MVS.

  There is no change in the response time when multiple cameras are used. The all-in-one design allows the camera to operate independent from the controller.

• 

Integrated system technology
High Performance, Easy Installation and Low Cost

• The controller has a built-in touchscreen interface, full color display and ten-key input panel. A power supply for control of the external lighting is also integrated into the controller. Simply connect the cameras and lights to the controller. There is no need for a console, external monitor or a separate power supply for lighting.

• 

Support is available from LED lighting to training

• Lighting is the single most important factor to capturing a good quality image for inspection. Optex FA offers a complete selection of lighting options. We can provide customer support for the selection of lighting, lenses, and training.

• 

Up to 16 inspections can be done at the same time with one Camera
16 Inspection windows are available for each Camera

• Each Camera can have a maximum of 16 inspection windows in one Bank of memory. Each inspection window can be set to inspect a different feature based on 6 inspection functions. The inspection judgment output for each inspection window can be output through the 50 pin I/O connector.

• 

Quick change over
32 Banks are available for one Camera

• You can remotely select the bank to use by using a controller, PLC or the RS-232C I/F. The setup parameters for each bank are stored in memory and can be recalled when the product is run again.

• 

Lighting control without the need of a separate power supply
Controller has LED lighting control built in

• Support for a total of three LED lights(12VDC, 24W total)is available.

  The output connector for the power source is a quick connect/disconnect type.

  The intensity level for each light can be adjusted separately.

• 

Continuous capture

When the camera checks the image it will automatically check up to 5(EM-R) or 6 images(PM-R) or 8 images(OCR2), looking for a good reading. This insures stable operation if the trigger is not stable or the position of the object changes slightly.

If the result is found to be OK the inspection will stop prior to reaching the maximum number of inspections.

• Variable shutter speed

  When the camera is checking image using the Continuous Capture feature the shutter speed will automatically be adjusted up to +36% ~ -24%(PM-R/EM-R) or +/-12% (OCR2). This compensates for changes in the lighting.

• Search function

  The images is searched not only in the X and Y direction but it also can be rotated up to +/- 180 degrees (PM-R/OCR2) or +/- 45 degrees(EM-R). This is useful when the position or orientation of the object changes.

Scaling up/down

When the camera is checking the image using the Continuous Capture feature the image will automatically be scaled Up/Down by up to +/-6%. This compensates for changes in the distance between the camera and object.

• Trouble Shoot

  button leads you to the Trouble Shooting menu. From this menu, you are able to view what corrections need to be done.

  

• Help function

  button on the ten-key panel shows what the parameter means and what adjustments can be done.

  

Dark Compensation (OCR2 : Illuminance Correction)

For reliable inspection of color, the hue of each pixel is calculated. This function insures that captured images are stable even with variations in lighting or when the distance to the target changes.

When the light is from the top

• 

• The MVS calculates the hue of each pixel so it can get a homogenous color for each pixel. Regular vision sensors simply adjust the brightness so the upper part is brighter than the lower part.

When a bright ambient light is present

• 

• The MVS can get a homogenous color for each pixel even if the object has an area which is brighter due to external ambient light.

When the distance varies

• 

• The Dark Compensation function is effective when the object distance varies and its brightness changes

When the object is glossy

• 

• The Dark Compensation function helps to reduce bright spots on glossy surfaces.
