Image inspection & code verification
24 April 2013
Providing simple operation with advanced functionality to solve even challenging applications, Omron has launched a new version of its FQ vision sensor. A wider range of models offers improved performance and new inspection tools.

The FQ2 vision sensor combines the camera, lens and lighting in a single compact package, complete with image processing capability which eliminates the need for a separate controller. The compact size and all-in-one design makes the sensor simple to mount and suitable for use in confined spaces.
The FQ2 supports all Omron’s inspection algorithms, including shape search, colour inspection, OCR, code reading and verification. Ensuring the best possible image detection, models are available with resolutions from 360,000 pixels up to 1.3 million pixels.
