Simple Feature DetectionWhy Choose Omron’s ZFV Sensor?It's simple…to set up, operate, and changeover. Use ZFV to verifyeverything is in place to improve your quality and reduce waste. Thisbreak-through sensor gives you access to high-level vision systemfunctionality without complex setup or programming. Start inspectingin minutes: just Target, Teach, and Go!

Value Makes the DifferenceOmron's ZFV combines the simplicity of installation and operation you expect from a photoelectric sensor with the basic inspectioncapability of a vision system. Compared to conventional visionsystems, ZFV sensor is far easier to implement and less expensive.

While photoelectric sensors solve many inspection problems, somepattern matching tasks are beyond their range of capability. Also,properly aligning multiple photoelectric sensors increases installationtime and leads to long-term maintenance issues.

The ZFV gives you the best combination of capabilities for quickinstallation, reliable operation and minimal maintenance.

ZFV Advantages• Inspects a wide range of part features • Simple setup… no machine vision training or experience needed • Ultra fast inspections at up to 10,000 parts per minute • Reliable pass/fail results • Built-in display allows real-time monitoring • No PC needed for setup

Existing Problems:Surface mount applications require precise positioningof all components due to the small size of leads and the pitch. These delicate leads bend and break easily.

ZFV Solution: Lead presence is verified by counting the number edges found across the part’s length. Lead separation can be confirmed by pattern match.

Additional Applications:

Surface mount components are the standard of the industry. These components require 100% inspection prior to automatic insertion.

Displays and Key OperationsMake setups using the control keys while viewing the menus and the image displayedon the LCD monitor.

DisplayThe details that are displayed differ according to the operating mode.

Key Operations

KEY DescriptionLEFT key The function of these keys differs according to the operating mode. RIGHT key In MENU mode: Moves through menus.

In ADJ mode: Changes the adjustment (type of threshold value).In RUN mode: Changes the display details (type of measurement value).

UP key The function of these keys differs according to the operating mode.DOWN key In MENU mode: Moves between menus, selects parameters, and sets numerical values.

In ADJ mode: Changes numerical values.

TEACH/VIEW The function of these keys differs according to the operating mode.Key In MENU mode: Executes teaching.

In RUN and ADJ modes: Switches the display.

SET key • Selects menus.• Selects function.

ESC key Returns to the previous menu.

Basic Knowledge for OperationTeaching Method

Position the camera to frame the image on the amplifier’s monitor, that will be used for reference in judgement.Execute teaching, and set the measurement conditions. Up to 8 banks of settings can be stored in the ZFV andswitched externally for fast production changeover setup.

Teaching FlowThere are two ways of executing teaching, by key operation and by external signals.The following shows a procedure for teaching by key operation.
