IV4 series - Vision Sensor with Built-in AI

Boasting the latest AI technology, the IV4-H makes it easy for anyone to configure the optimal image settings for detection. Parts can be detected without requiring position adjustment, while verification ensures the correct quantity is present in designated locations. Targets can be reliably detected and counted even in harsh environmental conditions. The new IV4-H model further enhances the simplicity and stability that has made the IV4 Series so popular. The improved brightness, wide-angle and narrow-angle field-of-view options, and highly optimised built-in hardware of the IV4-H deliver impressive stability, even when faced with environmental factors such as slight changes in ambient lighting or surface finishes. Even applications that are difficult to handle with conventional vision sensors can be easily completed with the IV4-H and its enhanced AI tools.

Features

AI-Based Imaging: Delivering the Best Image Quality for Detection

Easy Configuration of the Optimal Image for Any User

AI Imaging II
With just one click, the system recommends the optimal images for detection. The sensor internally tests over 10,000 conditions (10 times more than previous models), then automatically extracts the images in which key features stand out clearly. Because AI automates image setup, which normally requires vision engineering experience, anyone can easily create the optimal image quickly.

Background Removal and Extraction of Only the Detection Target

AI Target Extraction
With conventional systems, installation conditions such as background noise or other surrounding elements often cause false detections. AI Target Extraction enables stable imaging and detection by removing sources of false detection from the surroundings.

Extensive Detection Tools That Simplify Previously Difficult Detection Tasks

AI Identify

By registering just a single image, stable detection can be ensured regardless of environmental changes or individual product variations.

Numeric Output Function

Use AI Identify and other tools to determine positional deviations of targets based on X, Y, and θ data.

AI OCR

The sensor recognises characters automatically by verifying against its internal information of learned characters, dates, and numbers. Characters that cannot be read with the built-in dictionary can be learned.

AI Count

Target features are extracted and learned from various points of view (including shape, colour, brightness, and edges). In AI Through Count mode, it is also possible to count the number of targets passing inline.

Easy Installation

AI trigger

No trigger sensor needed for installation.

High-flex robotic cable / PoE (Power over Ethernet)-enabled

With a lineup that includes models with a high-flex robotic cable, a compact head, PoE support, and an IP67 enclosure rating, installation is possible even for a wide variety of site conditions.

Support for a wide variety of networks

There is a growing need for sensor data—including images, judgement results, and statistical information—to be transferred tohigher levels or saved. Even with the wide variety of transmission methods for such data, the IV Series supports a wide range ofnetworks, ensuring easy adoption in any worksite.
