majority decision-making system
FlexInspector used to determine the range of good products by registering many "good products" and then inspecting to see if they were within that range. The problem with this method is that it requires a large number of "good products". In the field, there are many unsorted products [...].
Support-free inspection equipment
It's been about seven years since we launched FlexInspector, and there must be several hundred units running somewhere. However, whether they are being operated by people in the field doing their best to keep them running, or whether they are just being passed over, very few requests for support have been raised, so [...].

dark and light blob
It seems that Keyence has added a new feature called "Shading Blob" to their new models. That concept is the same as "defect intensity" in FlexInspector. It was one of the features that I wanted to keep hidden in FlexInspector, so it was a bit [...].

We would like to express our deepest sympathies to all those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. We will do our best to be of any assistance in the recovery effort, however small it may be.
Modification of existing inspection equipment
Recently, we have received several projects to modify existing inspection equipment. We are now remodeling equipment that was scheduled to be scrapped into a full-scale visual inspection system. Many of the existing inspection equipment often uses stages that are more precise than necessary, and there is still a lot of [...]...
Differences from conventional image sensors
We often receive phone calls inquiring about our products, and among them, we are often asked how they are different from other image sensors. To be honest, they are so different that it is difficult to explain the points, but the biggest points are ●Others Advanced image processing [...].
