Stable Measurements Under
Changing Conditions
More-robust operation means less stopping for detection mistakes and
increased yield.
This more than meets on-site needs and increases system performance.

Highest Detection
Performance in the Industry
Optimized processing items for positioning have been included to handle a
wide range of measurement objects. Just select the right processing item
for the target object to enable stable inspection without complicated
calculations and settings.
Positioning with Alignment Marks

The alignment marks commonly used in manufacturing of LCD panels and PCBs
can be precisely detected. Accurate detection is possible even if the
marks are dirty or partially hidden.
Positioning with Corner
Detection

Positioning can be performed by detecting a corner of the measurement
object. Now, stable detection is possible even for rounded corners or when
the edge is broken. This is ideal for glass plates, LCDs and other objects
on which alignment marks cannot be printed.
Positioning by Shape of Object

When picking electronic components or food items, unclear printing and
dirt can make stable inspections impossible. FZM1 can identify the
position and orientation of objects from their shapes. The use of ECM
search processing enables precise position and attitude measurements
without being affected by surface conditions.

Wiring and Design
Next-generation
High-speed Communications with EtherCAT
Support for the EtherCAT open network enables real-time remote I/O
control. Connect to OMRON PLCs or other EtherCAT components through
EtherCAT communications to perform high-speed motion control.
• Less Wiring with Ethernet Cables
All trigger inputs and result outputs are performed using only an
Ethernet cable. This eliminates wasted wiring work and helps prevent
wiring mistakes when launching the system. With EtherCAT you can wire
up to 100 m without a repeater to easily connect to Vision Sensors and
Servo Drives.

• Reduced Ladder Programming
The PLC Link function communicates using three link areas: the command
area, response area, and data output area. The PLC can control
communications with the sensor simply by reading and writing words
allocated in the I/O memory in the PLC. This greatly reduces the
amount of ladder programming required for communications.

Camera
Adjustment Focus and
Aperture Adjustments
Focus and brightness, which use to be adjusted based on experience and
instinct, have been expressed numerically and displayed in graphs so
that you can literally see them. The ideal focus and aperture can be
adjusted quickly by essentially anyone. Variations between different
operators are eliminated and greater inspection precision can be
achieved.

Coordinate Conversions
Simple
Auto Calibration
The Vision Sensor provides a coordinate conversion function for
different stages and robots. Coordinates can be converted for the
Vision Sensor and output device without troublesome calculations.
• Handles Various Stages and Robots

• Flexible Camera Mounting
There are no Camera mounting restrictions even with alignment systems
that use two Cameras. Differences between Camera angles and fields of
vision can be calculated and coordinates converted without performing
complex calculations in a PLC or other external device.

• Easy Setup and
configuration by an Application Wizard
Calibration between the Cameras and stage or robot can be easily set
up using a wizard. Simply select the type of inspection to easily
generate the calibration parameters. Automatically input sampling data
from an external device via EtherCAT or UDP to eliminate mistakes that
can occur in manual input. Fine-tuning can also be quickly and
accurately performed for production changes or adjustments of the
setup is required on-site.

Faster Image Acquisition and Processing
A Lineup of
High-speed Cameras
The speed of capturing images by a 0.3-megapixel Camera has been
greatly increased. Even with a 2-megapixel Camera, the image capturing
speed is equivalent to that of a standard 0.3-megapixel Camera. The
difference is most obvious in applications requiring a wide field of
vision, high precision, and high speed.
 
ECM Searches at 20 Times the Speed
The FZM1 provides an advanced version of OMRON's unique high-speed
search processing, ECM. High-speed search processing is now possible
for multiple measurement objects that are conveyed in different
orientations. This enables high speed pick-and-place processing for
moving objects.
