FZD Series

This camera has a field of view of 75 mm, a resolution of 0.1 mm, and a maximum installation distance of 2 m.
The resolution is not affected even if the camera is mounted at an angle, so assembled car body inspections can now be conducted using a single Sensor.

By combining advanced 3D sensing technology with our own unique calibration technology, OMRON has succeeded in creating a high-speed 3D measurement system.
With 3D image sensing, workpieces with complex shapes that cannot be laid horizontally can now be measured easily using calculations based on space coordinates.

3D image sensing makes it possible to instantaneously measure length, width, and height inline without stopping the production line.
Moreover, multiple locations can be measured simultaneously within a single visual field.

Hole positions and diameters can be measured accurately even for parts with complex shapes that cannot be laid horizontally.
Subtle differences in hole location or diameter can be measured nstantaneously, so accurate discrimination is possible even with modular parts of similar shapes.
This sensing system is also perfect for pre-shipping inspections.

This application enables a robot to select desired part from the parts lined up in a box. The FZD Sensor can automatically calculate the heights within the designed measurement region.
Even if the parts have no distinctive characteristics, such as surface irregularities or patterns, the Sensor can use custom pattern illumination to accurately determine the heights.

Gaps and bumps between edges can be measured simultaneously. Moreover, multiple locations within the same field of vision can also be measured simultaneously.
3D edge detection has reached a new level of stability thanks to real color processing. Even for workpieces with edges that are difficult to detect, the use of 3D sensing in combination with custom pattern illumination enables accurate detection of gaps and bumps.

OMRON's unique EC algorithm makes it possible to search for hole positions regardless of the background.
By analyzing 3-point position data (X, Y, Z), the part’s orientation (θ, φ, ψ) can be determined.
It can also be used with a robot for picking work.

A variety of functions have been added to make 3D sensing technology commercially applicable.
All of OMRON's image processing technologies have been crystallized into this new Sensor.

3D measurement requires the use of two cameras, just like people need two eyes.

Introducing a new camera system that allows for the easy installation of two Cameras. In our Integrated Camera, two Cameras are mounted inside the same housing, so all you have to do is install a single unit. Also available are Separate Cameras that can be used simply by attaching two of them to a single Camera Base Plate.

OMRON takes care of the calibration prior to shipment.
It's ready to install out of the box.

Simply set up the 2 Cameras according to the installation distance.

OMRON has developed a 3-W miniature high-intensity LED that can be used even at a work distance of 2 m.
When edges are difficult to distinguish on the image, Line Pattern LED Lighting is used, and when the height of objects without feature points is required, our Custom Pattern Lighting provides powerful support for high-luminance 3D measurement.

Coordinates from images obtained from the two Cameras are combined to generate 3D coordinates. The synchronization of these coordinates is referred to as "Calibration."
The more precise the calibration, the more accurate the 3D measurements.

This Sensor features the world's most advanced calibration technology. Our calibration resolution (0.025 mm) is the highest in the world, and enables precise 3D measurement. What is more, the settings are quite simple. The functions of this Sensor allow it to be used in any work environment.

Obtain images from near and distant perspectives.

Note:Place calibration target on reference plane and capture first image. Then place a spacer underneath the calibration target and obtain a second image. That's all there is to it, only two images are needed to complete the calibration.

Capture 10 rough images.

Note:This is the first technology in the world to make it possible to complete the calibration by simply holding up the calibration target by hand and capturing images from 5 different directions and 2 different heights (a total of 10 images).

World coordinates are needed for systems using robots for picking, or for measurement of two different locations on large-sized parts. This new Sensor system is, of course, compatible with these types of coordinate conversions.

Note:This calibration technology makes use of techniques developed by 3D MEDiA Co., Ltd.

The actual 3D shape of the workpiece is measured.

2D and 3D image processing can be carried out simultaneously using a single Controller.
For example, inspections for the presence of specified marks, or for surface scratches and dirt, can be conducted in 2D mode, while using 3D processing to determine the XYZ coordinates of hole positions.
Also, because 3D measurements can be made after compensating for position displacement using 2D processing, measurement results are more stable than with laser displacement sensors, even when position determination is rough.

Measurements can be made after compensating for position displacement.

It is possible to display measurement results, text, or figures in 3D format in the image display area. Even on a 2D monitor, one can tell at a glance what segment is being measured, so the system can be used with confidence at the worksite.
