With the calendar function, the date of defect and the number of inspections can be added to saved color images. This is useful for post verification (checking a defective product against a saved image) and for analyzing defect tendencies.

Global support

(English/Japanese switchable and CE compliant)

Taking into consideration that equipment might be shipped overseas, the display can be switched between Japanese and English. The controller and dedicated color cameras are standardized items, which are CE compliant.

Setting help Inspection mode Applications

This function sets the focus and adjusts the aperture, tasks that used to rely on human judgment, to values that are ideal for image inspection. This reduces setting variation when setting up multiple devices.

Movement all at once

Checkers that have been set can be moved all at once. This is useful for fine adjustment when setting cameras up again. It is also convenient when deploying product type data that have been set on another device.

Security

The AX40 has a security function, which requires password verification to safeguard setting data.

The AX40 is equipped with a variety of inspection modes such as positional adjustment, rotational adjustment, gray scale and binarization, to support a wide variety of inspection needs.
