Micro-Imagechecker AX30/AX40

Additional Features of the AX40

1 System – 4 inspection modes

AX40 commands four different inspection modes: colour, binary, grey-scale and differential image processing. Combined with a large pool of ready-made and easy-to-configure inspection functions such as 360° contour-matching and smart matching, AX40 can handle nearly any inspection task.

Full colour

LCH mode for human-eye like colour inspection

Suitable for various inspection tasks such as sorting, counting, parts recognition, etc.

Grey scale

256 grey tones for precise measurement, positioning, etc.

Differential

Extracts edges/changes in the image data

Ideal method e.g. for surface inspection

Smart matching

Grey scale matching makes sub-pixel positional detection possible

Furthermore, shape inspection, such as for the detection of chipped objects, can be carried out simultaneously with the grey scale difference processing function

Binary

A reduction of the image data to black and white pixels allows fastest inspection

Data monitor

Up to 50 inspection results are displayed on the monitor in chart form for operator verification. Also, threshold adjustment (upper and lower limit values) can be changed on the data monitor without entering them in the setting menu.

Statistical support

Data can be tracked, e.g. as maximum value, minimum value, average value, and number of NG (no-good) results.

Maximum, minimum, average and other OK judgment values can be verified, which is useful as a guide for making upper and lower limit settings.

Numerical calculation/judgement output

The computation function, which has been troublesome up to now, now can be easily made, even by beginners. Also, operation has become even easier thanks to the ability to set both numerical calculation and judgement output on the same screen.
