Code printing quality can also vary due to imperfect printing or low contrast. The FQ-CR Series handles these and many other conditions. The FQ-CR Series can be easily introduced without using different code readers and operating procedures for each of the different processes. 2D Code Reader for Direct Part Marking (DPM) codes Reads Direct Part Marking (DPM) Codes FQ-CR2 Series DPM codes on Resin Data Matrix DPM codes on small parts DPM codes on film or glass DPM codes on metal Data Matrix Data Matrix Data Matrix FQ-CR2 Easily reads difficult codes Just read the code and register it, and then let the following functions automatically tune the settings. Depending on the conditions of the code, the automatic retry and code error correction functions let, essentially anyone, easily adjust the settings. Filter function Retry function Code Error Correction Three stages of filtering are automatically selected for the read image from Smooth, Dilate, Erosion, and Median filtering. You can retry the settings until reading is successful while automatically changing the exposure time and other reading parameters. Code omissions and errors are automatically corrected when the code is read. Before Dilation After Dilation Before Retry After Retry Before Processing After Processing 4 FQ-CR2 OMRON’s Unique Algorithm Provides Superior Reading Ability for Direct Part Marking codes Removal of Printing Irregularities or Noise Filter function You can apply up to three of the four unique filters developed by OMRON in the desired order to remove printing irregularities and noise, in order to achieve a stable reading. Types of Filtering Smooth Dilate Combining Filtering Smooths the image. Erosion For white codes, reduces the cell size. Effective for reading separated dot codes. For white codes, increases the cell size. Effective for reading codes with cell spreading. Median Removes noise. Erosion and dilation can be combined to connect dots without changing the dot thickness. Dilate Erosion 5 Reading Automatic Parameter Adjustment Until Reading is Successful Retry function Code Readers must be able to read codes even for poor printing conditions. You can automatically retry reading while changing the exposure time and other reading conditions, even for changing workpieces or environments, to enable a stable reading. The following retry functions are provided. 1 Retrying the Specified Number of Times with the Same Conditions 2 Retrying While External Trigger Is Input 3 Retrying While Changing the Shutter Speed 4 NG NG OK Reading is performed the specified number of times for the same scene. During level trigger input Reading is performed until successful, as long as an external level trigger is input. NG Reading is performed for the same scene while changing the exposure time in stages. OK NG NG NG OK 1ms 1.3ms 0.7ms 1.6ms Retrying While Changing the Reading Conditions When reading DPM codes, inconsistencies in printing conditions can result in NGs if reading is performed with only one set of reading settings. NG NG NG OK Scene 1 Scene 2 Scene 3 Register 32 sets of reading conditions. Rapidly switch to the optimum reading conditions. The FQ-CR allows you to register up to 32 sets of reading conditions as scenes and retry reading while changing the scenes in order. The system automatically determines the scenes with the highest usage rates and changes the order to start Scene 2 Scene 4 Scene 6 Scene 8 Scene 32 with them to flexibly handle changes in reading conditions. Of course you can specify a fixed order if required. Scene 1 Easy Confirmation of Code Quality Code Error Correction Position Display Red circles are displayed on cells for which the code was corrected on the display. This clearly shows where the code quality was poor. Scene 3 Scene 5 Scene 7 Scene 31 6 FQ-CR1 FQ-CR2 Stable Reading Functions Packed into a Compact Body Polarization filter Cuts specular reflections. High power LEDs Four times the brightness of previous models. Lens and Camera simple fine tuning of camera focus. Actual Size Decoder Built-in HDR function. Robust housing: IP67 Ethernet Output Output read codes on Ethernet. 7 Detection and Connection Reads Codes Even with Low Contrast High-power LEDs The wider the field of view, the more difficult it is to maintain consistent lighting within the field, causing errors in reading. The built-in LEDs of the FQ-CR Series use a unique OMRON DR optical system for effective light usage to maintain consistent lighting within the field of vision at a brightness that is four times that of previous models. Previous Lighting High-power Lighting Halation Stable Detection for Metal Surfaces Subject to Gloss and Inconsistent Lighting Without Polarizing Filter With Polarizing Filter Cuts Light Interference HDR Function The HDR (high dynamic range) function minimizes the influence of changes in lighting conditions and light reflection. This enables stable inspections even for materials that are difficult to light evenly, such as metal parts or glossy films, or in locations subject to external light interference. Cuts Specular Reflections Polarizing Filter A polarizing filter is included to cut specular reflection from glossy surfaces. This enables stable code reading even for metallic or other glossy surfaces. Communications with Host Devices Ethernet Connection The compact body also provides an Ethernet connector so that you can transfer read data and images via Ethernet. Smoothly transfer data to PLCs, computers, or other host devices. Ethernet 8 FQ-CR1 FQ-CR2 Essentially, Simple Enough for Anyone to Set Up Setup is as easy as displaying codes on the monitor and registering settings with a simple procedure. Then, the FQ-CR will automatically tune the settings to achieve the optimum conditions. You can automatically tune all of these reading conditions just by making the basic settings. Optimum Tuning in Three Steps Read a code. Select the type of code. Two Set-up Tools Use the convenient Touch Finder for on-site settings and control panel installations, or use a set-up tool on a computer. Touch Finder TouchFinder for PC (Free) After purchasing the Code Reader, you can ca download the TouchFinder for PC free from the member’s website. 9 Set-up and Adjustment Exposure Time Gain Press the TEACH Button. Dynamic Range Filtering Check to see if the conditions are correct as a reference. END Menu Displays in Nine Languages Operation Navigation The nine language support for menus means that you can easily introduce systems into factory sites in other countries. In addition, you can easily change the language on a menu. Navigation menus for operating procedures from image adjustment through to testing and starting operation are provided so that even beginners can operate the Code Reader. English German Japanese French Traditional Chinese Italian Simplified Chinese Spanish Korean Setup flow 10 FQ-CR1 FQ-CR2 Flexible System Configuration Connect Up To Eight Code Readers The flexibly arrangeable platform can be used for simple configurations with one Code Reader for complex configurations with multiple Code Readers reading from different directions. Up to eight Code Readers can be controlled from the Touch Finder set-up console. Code Quality Management The FQ-CR2 contains state-of-the-art algorithms that enable the reading of codes even with poor reading quality. However, even if the code quality continues to deteriorate for some reason, auto-correction and retrying are used to enable reading, making it impossible to tell where quality was lost simply from the OK/NG reading information. Here, you can use the cell recognition rate information. The cell recognition rate changes with code printing quality, position inconsistency, installation conditions, and noise. You can log the cell recognition rate and image together to manage quality trends. The logging of recent results is useful for testing when commissioning a line. Run through some sample products and log the cell recognition rate. You can then display the results in a time-based graph to see how much leeway there is in reading performance. * For the FQ-CR1, the number of detected characters is logged instead of the cell recognition rate. gging File Logging SD Card Cell recognition rate Up to 10 million measurement values or more (for a 4-GB SD card) Up to 10,000 images or more (for a 4-GB SD card) Loggingg of Recent Results Displays the most recent 1,000 cell recognition rate in graph form. 11 Commissioning and Operation Match your field of view No matter whether you handle large or small workpieces, the range of Omron FQ-CR Code Readers offers a perfect match. Select the FQ-CR model with the appropriate range and adjust the field of view to your application. Focusing is quick and easy too, enabling you to use the sensor for a variety of applications.
