Omron FHV7 smart camera

The Omron FHV7 smart camera is designed for advanced vision inspections on food production lines. The camera features a multi-colour light and high-resolution image sensor, to achieve high standards of precision. The multi-colour light eliminates the need to change lighting when product designs are changed, or when new products are added to the production mix.

Integrated into pre-existing systems and machine platforms, the smart camera can be combined with robots for picking and assembly applications. The camera allows users to identify the causes of defects, accurately measuring objects in different colours and sizes on the same production line.

The camera’s image processing reaches high speeds, while the camera delivers high resolution for precise inspections, maintaining quality without slowing production. The 12 MP camera has a dual-core CPU and an autofocus lens that covers a focal distance between 59 and 2000 mm.

The product facilitates the easy addition of external lights and filter replacement, with a modular structure that allows users to combine lens and lighting variants. High-speed image logging allows measurements to be conducted while simultaneously saving data. The product also allows users to maintain production cycle times, even if resolution is increased or inspection times are added. The camera’s waterproof hood allows it to be operated in wet conditions.
