Machine Vision Sensor Matches Patterns Rapidly

Capable of either matching patterns or detecting plain objects or backgrounds, the F10 machine vision sensor is said to perform these product inspections rapidly. Because it is designed to detect patterns rather than spots (as photoelectric sensors do), this gray-scale pattern-matching sensor can embrace a wide range of applications. For example, rather than only detecting label presence or absence, it can detect whether a label is upside down or skewed or if more than one label is present. F10 operation also is simple: users merely focus a visible light guide on the object; press a "teach" button to register the pattern in the sensor; and then run a sample test and adjust threshold levels as needed via an "up" or "down" select button.
