Pick-and-Place Vision Sensor

Omron Industrial Automation’s FQ-M vision sensor was developed specifically to meet the needs of pick-and-place applications. Compact, and with a processing speed of 5000 pieces per minute even with full 360 degree rotation, the sensor comes with Ethernet and EtherCAT embedded for ease of integration into any environment. It includes an incremental encoder for easy tracking and calibration. The FQ-M is easily configured for guidance of dynamic pick-and-place robots using Omron’s Sysmac Studio software, and is complemented by the palm-sized TouchFinder console for local monitoring and access to functions and settings.

The vision sensor ensures stable and robust shape-based detection even under changeable environmental conditions, and has been designed for the inspection of a wide range of objects.

Set-up of the FQ-M vision sensor is performed through the Vision Editor of the Sysmac Studio software, which provides intuitive, icon-driven configuration that makes it easy to achieve the needed vision setting. For easy integration into robot pick-and-place systems, the communication wizard makes it easy to configure any robot protocol either as a server or as a client without complex programming.
