Optical System Delivers Rapid Machine Vision Solutions
NPE2024: The VS Vision System by Keyence incorporates fast setup time and built-in AI to ensure for quick inspection and real-time data visualization.
Keyence Corp. of America is introducing the new VS Vision System, which focuses on ease of use to reduce the barrier of entry for moldmakers and plastics manufacturers to integrate automated visual inspection into their machines. Key features include ZoomTrax internal lensing with software-driven image setup, VS Creator programming software and edge-AI Detection and Classification tools.
ZoomTrax automatic image optimization with continuously variable optical zoom enables full image setup, including setting the field of view, focusing the image and lighting adjustment in a matter of minutes with a few simple clicks. Keyence says that a combination of the lensing and software functionality achieves automatic image replication, which simplifies machine replication and accidental camera movement with no impact to the inspection program.
The VS Creator feature is a free software interface that was designed to be familiar to anyone who uses a PC for their daily tasks. This is all paired with free monthly training so that the VS can be quickly picked up and used for programming fully functional inspections in a matter of days, rather than weeks.
The AI Detection and AI Classification tools come standard on the VS and can be rapidly trained with as little as 40 images for stable inspection.
