Similar but different methods
Many people with image processing experience look at FlexInspector and say, "Pattern matching, right? "Isn't it a comparison test?" FlexInspector's method is based on pattern matching [... FlexInspector's methodology is based on pattern matching [...].
Semi-automatic visual inspection system
Recently, we have been working on several "manual feed" type inspection systems. The beauty of this type of equipment is that it requires minimal investment and allows verification for automatic visual inspection. Since visual checks can be made on the spot, there is no need for verification (review) [...].

Omron and MVTec Form Alliance
The above article appeared on the front page of today's Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun. I think this is the first big topic in a while in this industry, which has been a bit stagnant. OMRON is one of the top two companies in the "image sensor" industry, along with Keyence. On the other hand, MVTec is a "custom [...]...
Flexinspector's power in the know
Today, a person from an imaging-related company asked me if he could see what the FlexInspector was all about. I gave him an overview of the system (an inspection stage with automatic X-axis and manual Y-axis), which was just being adjusted before shipment. The image [...].
Dimensional Measurement
Occasionally we are asked the question, "Can I take dimensional measurements with FlexInspector?" We have a simple feature, but in most cases the answer is "No". In most cases, the answer is "No", although it has a simple function. This may be a matter of philosophy.
