Settings, operation, and applications
Easy operation
Setting is easy using the operation menus
which are designed to be easy to
understand. Basic keypad operation, too,
only requires you to align the cursor with
the menu and press the Enter key.
Setting help
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.

Large capacity memory
Internal memory capacity has been
increased. Convenient for multi-product
production, the number of templates that
can be stored in the unit is three times
more than previous.* Templates can, of
course, be saved to CompactFlash cards.

Image storage
NEW
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.
Applications
The AX40 can be used for a wide range of
applications, such as presence, color
extraction, area, and dimensional
inspection.
