Scanners a Visions - Keyence

Code readers are used in a wide range of industries.Performance requirements are ever-changing. For example, in the automotive industry, the abilityto read a barcode printed on metalwork from a long range is necessary. In the electrical andelectronic device industry, multiple codes on a PCB must be read all at once. In the food andpharmaceutical industries, it is necessary to easily read codes from goods in motion on aconveyor belt. In the logistics industry, the ability to reliably read boxes of differing heights andwidths is essential. KEYENCE has the capability to meet all of these demands.

KEYENCE has been an innovative leader in the machine vision field for more than 30 years. Its high speed and high performance machine vision systemshave been continuously improved upon and now allows even greater usability and stability when solving today's most difficult applications.In 2008, the XG-7000 Series was released as a “high-performance image processing system that solves every challenge”, followed by the CV-X100 and CV-X400 Series as an “image processing sensor with the ultimate usability”.In 2013, an “inline 3D inspection image processing system” was added to our lineup.KEYENCE is committed to introducing new cutting-edge products that go beyond the expectations of its customers.

KEYENCE’s IV Series Vision Sensor solves all these problems: 100% inspections are possible A wide variety of detections can be supported Anyone can operate the sensor easily Accurate detections without variations are possible The entire surface is checked, providing high resistance to misaligned targets Clear images with no distortion can be captured Install Anywhere Thanks to Smallest-In-Class Size

This illumination style provides high contrast, because only specular-reflection light is reflected back to the camera.These lights are effective when inspecting mirror surfaces and glossy surfaces and when distinguishing between objects according to differences in glossiness.The mirror reflects the light onto the target. Specular reflected light is allowed to pass back up to the camera whereas as diffuse reflected light from the target is rejected. This in turn causes a contrast at the edge points of a target.

LumiTrax is the fusion of high-speed cameras with intelligent, directional lighting and an advanced image processing algorithm. This revolutionary technology combines multiple images, acquired by lighting a target from different directions, to create shape images of the target for 3D inspection applications or texture images for glare reduction. LumiTraxTM eliminates the influences of surface variation and ambient environment that prevent stable inspection.

Concentrically arranged LED’s provide uniform lighting suitable for standard targets & applications.  Six types of lights are available, including those with and without diffusion plates and polarisation plates. This enables the selection of the right light to match the workpiece.
