RCXiVY2+ New features

01High speed positioning of irregular shaped parts (foods or clothes)

Blob search function

Suitable for pick & place or detection of parts with wide tolerance in shape and size, or high speed counting.
Detection speed is 2 to 10 times faster that edge detection.

02Detection time is shortened up to 45%.

By adopting a high-performance camera and improving the camera frame rate and CPU capability, detection time is reduced 8 to 45% while the resolution is improved.

Comparison of search time

03Suitable for parts detection and high volume parts count

Application examples*Subject to application and conditions.

■ Detection of electronics components on PC board
■ Detection of accessories in package
■ Counting of the number of bottles in pallet
■ Detection of food labels

■ Detection of screws and washers that secure parts
■ Checking drilled holes
■ Counting of electronics components

04Overlap can be eliminated.

Overlapped workpieces are recognized and they can be excluded from the search target.

05Detection with Speed

Comparing with edge search, blob search speed is 2 to 10 times faster.

Comparison of edge search and blob search

* Only doughnut shape workpieces are detected.

06Code recognition function

Codes such as QR codes, data matrix codes, and barcodes can be recognized.
This code recognition function is optimal for applications that change the operation corresponding to the code contents such as traceability management, workpiece sorting, and tracking change of sealing.
It is not necessary to separately purchase a handy terminal or code reader. Troublesome communication control is also not needed.

[Supported codes]

・ QR code
・ Data matrix code
・ Barcode (JAN/EAN-13 JAN/EAN-8 ITF NW7 CODE39 CODE128)

* Up to 255 characters can be read. Only alphanumeric characters and symbols are supported. (2-byte characters such as HIRAGANA and KANJI characters cannot be read.)

07Automatic image save function/History image function

Images are saved automatically and can be checked easily on an external monitor. These functions are very convenient when you want to check the captured images retrospectively during operation or debugging or save the images for traceability purposes.

Automatic image save function

Images can be saved to a USB memory automatically. An SSD or HDD that can be connected to a USB port can also be used.

[Parameter]
Image save mode	All images / NG images / Disabled
Image size	Full size / Reduced size (320 x 240 pix.)
Overwrite save	Disabled / Enabled (The images are deleted from the oldest image when enabled.)

[Number of images that can be saved]
Number of images that can be saved when the memory size is 128 GB.
Number of camera pixels	Image size	Number of images that can be saved
0.4 million pixels	0.4MB	327680
1.6 million pixels	1.6MB	81920
3.2 million pixels	3.2MB	40960
5 million pixels	5.0MB	26214
Reduced size	0.08MB	1638400

Number of images that can be saved = Memory size / Image size
81920 images can be saved by 1.6 million pixel camera when 128 GB memory is used.
When the cycle time is 3 seconds, images for 68 hours can be saved.

History image function

Images can be displayed on an external monitor during searching. The images and search results can be checked retrospectively with a USB mouse connected.

Past search images and results are checked.

Images in the memories (No. 0 to 15) are checked.

[Number of images that can be saved]
Number of camera pixels	Image size	Number of images that can be saved
0.4 million pixels	0.4MB	1250
1.6 million pixels	1.6MB	312
3.2 million pixels	3.2MB	156
5 million pixels	5.0MB	100

Area for history images 500 MB
Number of images that can be recorded to the history = 500 MB / Image size

08Connection of multiple cameras

Up to eight cameras can be connected via HUB and support various applications such as addition of code recognition camera.

[Application using three cameras]
1. Workpiece supply position is corrected using the downward camera.
2. Workpiece positioning or angle is corrected using the upward camera.
3. Place position is corrected using the downward camera.
