Image processing with advanced
functions that’s easy to use.
The AX40 inherits image processing technology built up over many years and
Color images are displayed at high accuracy during inspection
know-how derived from hands-on experience in the field. Even more important,
it is designed for the kind of performance requirements demanded by
our customers. Combining ease of use with sophisticated
functions, we have created an image processing device
and both color and gradation are processed.
The AX40 offers easy-to-grasp visual comprehension.
that reaches a new level of perfection.
[Functions]
Fully featured with basic functions such as 360° contour matching,
smart matching, and versatile rotation and positional adjustment.
[Setting and Operation]
Maintenance and initial setup support functions included
and an easy-to-use operation menu.
Interface
Operator stress is reduced thanks to a high-speed memory slot,

Features
Versatile image processing that enables gray scale and color processing.
A world first!
∗
360° contour matching
A world first!
Differentiation processing is possible in addition to color and gray scale processing and binarization. High precision image processing
means you can use it in a wide range of applications.
By calculating contour lines and judging,
stable positional detection is possible even
for hidden, overlapped objects that have
been difficult to detect up to now. Thanks to
this, better yields are achieved.
Smart matching
∗
A world first!
Gray scale matching makes sub-pixel
positional detection possible. Furthermore,
shape inspection, such as for the detection
of chipped objects, can be carried out
simultaneously with the gray scale
difference processing function.
∗
Numerical calculation/
judgment output Top class
The computation function, which has been
troublesome up to now, now supports
Japanese, so settings can be easily made,
even by beginners to image processing.
Also, operation has become even easier
thanks to the ability to set both numerical
calculation and judgment output on the
same screen.

The AX40 uses a dedicated LCD VGA color
monitor. Visual clarity is in a league apart
from conventional NTSC monitors.
Judgment results are displayed large and in
color, which makes them easier to see. A
font consisting of 18-dot characters is used,
so even Japanese kana and kanji
characters can be displayed.
A world first!
∗
Highly accurate and reliable inspection is
realized by automatically adjusting object
orientation and stop position deviation.
Since adjustment is done using gray scale
data, the AX40 shows its strength when it
comes to changes in brightness.
Complicated adjustments are possible
because of the priority adjustment function.

Settings, operation, and applications
Supports
Easy operation
Large capacity memory
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.
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.
NEW
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.
Data monitor
Original function
Up to 50 inspection results are displayed on
the monitor in chart form for operator
verification. Also, threshold adjustment
(upper and lower limit values) can be
changed on the data monitor without
entering them in the setting menu.
*Compared to A210
Statistical support
Original function
Data can be tracked such as maximum
value, minimum value, average value, and
number of NG (no-go) results. Verification is
possible of maximum, minimum, average
and other OK judgment values, which is
useful as a guide for making upper and
lower limit settings.
Print screen
In-operation displays or displays when
making settings can be saved as bitmaps
into a memory card. This is convenient for
creating documents or for verifying
previously shot images.

Applications
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.
The AX40 is equipped with a variety of
inspection modes such as positional
adjustment, rotational adjustment, gray
scale and binarization, to support a wide
variety of inspection needs.
The AX40 can be used for a wide range of
applications, such as presence, color
extraction, area, and dimensional
inspection.
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.

AX40s can be connected to a LAN using highspeed Ethernet (100BASE-TX) to meet various
application requirements. Measurement data
during operation can be transmitted at high speed
to a PC. Also, the inspection status of multiple
AX40s can be monitored from a single PC. Image
backups are also easy thanks to this high-speed
interface.
Backup and restoration of setting data and saved
images are possible. Also, up to 512 MB of
measurement data can be directly written to a
CompactFlash card, even during operation.
Add power by using spreadsheet software such
as Excel to interpret data and analyze trends.
