FAQ.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE FROM COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IMAGE PROCESSING EQUIPMENT?
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE OFTEN RECEIVE AT TRADE SHOWS IS, "WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE K AND O IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS?" WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN K AND O'S IMAGE PROCESSING EQUIPMENT? I THINK THAT USERS WHO HAVE INSTALLED FI SYSTEMS UNDERSTAND THIS VERY WELL. AS USERS WHO HAVE INSTALLED FI SYSTEMS UNDERSTAND WELL, THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THE COMPARISON ITSELF IS A MISTAKE [...].
FlexInspector in depth
In fact, there is a double or triple embedded "something" in FlexInspector that makes it clearly different from other companies' products. The parts we write about here and contribute to magazines are only a small part of the technical aspects. Even if we do the same thing only ostensibly, FlexInsp [...].
Evaluation on a demo unit
The major difference between our FlexInspector and other vendors' imaging systems is that we lend the customer everything, including lenses and lighting, during the evaluation phase, so that the customer can perform the evaluation work themselves. Our ideal [...].
Try it yourself and see for yourself
Needless to say, there is a great need for image processing inspections. There are many different technologies and many different products. Looking at catalog specs and claims, it seems as if anything is possible. But in reality... There is too much need [...].
Reasons for not taking orders for "custom"
Occasionally we receive inquiries for "custom" imaging equipment. However, I almost always turn them down. This is partly because we do not have the manpower to handle such requests, but also because, in my opinion, "customization is not in the best interest of the user" [...].
Where it can be used and where it cannot be used
We currently have over 10 FlexInspector demo units in operation, including those at our dealers. In most cases, we ask for 2 to 3 weeks. Recently, the most common reaction as a result of the evaluation of the demo units is "I found out that some of them are usable and some are not" [...].
Certainly illuminators are important. But...
With FlexInspector, the basic idea is not to detect "defects" that are difficult to define, but to register "good products" that are easy to define and detect "where they differ from good products". What we want to consider here is the illuminator. The "common" illuminator [...].
Inspection equipment with 93% yield
A recently delivered inspection system equipped with FlexInspector had a problem with "93% yield rate in actual operation". The situation was as follows: ・Items that were determined to be OK were visually confirmed to be all good products. When the items that were determined to be NG were visually checked, they were all good.
The idea of "sorting out the good products
Not only in image inspection, the secret of determining whether a product is acceptable or not seems to lie in the concept of "sorting out the good products. In most cases, the conventional way of thinking about inspection equipment is to "sort out defective products. In this way of thinking, it is necessary to define "defective products" [...].
DOME ILLUMINATOR WITH COAXIAL OVDU-C120W
Based on our experience in evaluating various samples, we recommend "coaxial dome lighting" as a first step. The above models have been "tuned by us" with the cooperation of the luminaire manufacturer. The advantages of this illuminator are as follows
