Software Functions

APPEARANCE/DEFECT DETECTION

The detection tools detect defects, flaws and other contamination by comparing them to the surrounding area. In addition to excellent detection ability, the tool also features a function to only identify defects that you want to detect, by size, intensity, shape, color, and count.

ALIGNMENT/DIMENSION MEASUREMENT

In most cases, dimension/geometric measurement for image processing requires multiple tools and complicated calculation processing. In HCvision Quick, measurements & dimensions tools can be performed with an easy point-and-click method. Points, lines, and circle information from other tools can also be

referenced making it much easier to develop programs with multiple dimensions requiring inspection.

OCR, 1D/2D CODE READING

Read printed characters and 1D/2D codes on products.

Simply select the area for inspection and with a press of a button, the image processing settings will automatically be tuned for the best results. Any user can set the tool up.

GRAPHICS/PROFILE LOCATION

The locations tools have high robustness, which Allows accurate searching even if the capture conditions change from the original registered image, such as chips, flaws, and contrast changes. The tools also offer very accurate search performance as a position adjustment reference for other inspection tools.

Vision-guided Robotic System

Realize a direct communication with a variety of robots to easily build a vision-guided robotic system.

Vision-guided robotic system is widely used to promote industrial automation and improve efficiency.HCvision system communicates directly with a variety of robots, synchronizes the coordinate systems of the vision system and robot, and provides stable vision-guided robotic operation.

Supports a wide range of robot manufacturers

Easily establish direct communication between the robot and HCvisionQuick by simply selecting the robot manufacturer. The supported robot manafactures are Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, YASKAWA, STUBLI, KAWASAKI, YAMAHA, EPSON, NACHI and etc..

Excellent locations tools

High Speed: Reach the leading level compared with competing products

High accuracy: Reach subpixel level

High robustness: Anti-interference, anti-noise, anti-occlusion, support rotation, scaling, affine transformation, etcContent

Auto -calibration function

Calibration is the most difficult aspect of constructing and running a system linking a robot and vision system. The auto-calibration function provides highly accurate and effortless calibration. The result is reliable and stable calibration without the subjectivity of a manual process.

COMMUNICATION AND CONTROL

A wide variety of communication methods are available to satisfy communication control needs, including logging of images and data, PLC control of the vision system through commands, and various display and monitor functions are available to improve operation and security. Various monitor functions useful at startup and other times are also available to improve operability and security.

PLC LINK PLCs made by several manufacturers can be linked via RS-232C/Ethernet. SUPPORTED PLC MANUFACTURERS: Omron SYSMAC series, Mitsubishi Electric FX series and Q/L series, Panasonic FP series,Inovance H1U/2U series	FTP OUTPUT FUNCTION Supports image/measured value output to an FTP server.	IO TERMINAL Support DI control capturing, DO output detection
	MODBUS Through MODBUS RTU、MODBUS TCP communication to achieve read and write PLC operation.	MONITOR FUNCTION Allow the user to check the communication status which can help troubleshoot.
EtherNet/IP™- and PROFINET Note: Only AQL series is compatible with EtherNet/IP™- and PROFINET		NON-PROTOCOL COMMUNICATION Communicate with PLC through RS-232C or Ethernet.
