Image processing with advanced  
functions that’s easy to use.  
The AX40 inherits image processing technology built up over many years and  
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  
that reaches a new level of perfection.

Color images are displayed at high accuracy during inspection  
and both color and gradation are processed.  
The AX40 offers easy-to-grasp visual comprehension.  
[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,  
high-speed Ethernet (100BASE-TX), and software tools.

A world first! ∗  
Top class  
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.  
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.  
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.

Large capacity memory  
Image storage  
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.  
Internal memory capacity has been  
increased. Convenient for multi-product  
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  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.  
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.

System configuration  
CompactFlash and Ethernet  
Ethernet  
CompactFlash storage  
AX40s can be connected to a LAN using high-  
speed 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.  
* Backed up image data can be used as regular bitmap files  
on a PC.  
DIN rail installation  
PC  
At the rear, one touch is all  
that's required for DIN rail  
installation.  
Keypad operation  
The amazingly easy-to-operate  
keypad, which resembles the feel  
of a game and which was popular  
in the A series, has been inherited  
by the AX40.  
Two-camera connection  
PLC link function  
Up to two dedicated  
color cameras can be  
connected.  
Using the RS232C port,  
communicate easily with external  
devices such as PLCs! Without  
programming, connect using our  
own PLC protocol or connect to  
the PLCs of other makers.  
Color monitor  
Supports a dedicated  
6.5 inch LCD VGA  
color monitor.
