Many different codes are used for different applications. And for some products, different codes are printed together.
The FQ-CR1 can read many different codes without requiring any changes to its settings.

There are many instances when different barcode or 2D code systems are used together in the same manufacturing process.
Code printing quality can also vary due to imperfect printing or low contrast.
The FQ-CR Series handles these and many other conditions.
The FQ-CR Series can be easily introduced without using different code readers and
operating procedures for each of the different processes.

Just read the code and register it, and then let the following functions automatically tune the settings.
Depending on the conditions of the code, the automatic retry and code error correction functions let, essentially anyone, easily adjust the settings.
Filter function
Three stages of filtering are automatically
selected for the read image from Smooth, Dilate,
Erosion, and Median filtering.
Retry function
You can retry the settings until reading is
successful while automatically changing the
exposure time and other reading parameters.
Code Error Correction
Code omissions and errors are automatically
corrected when the code is read.

OMRON’s Unique Algorithm Provides
Superior Reading Ability for Direct Part Marking codes
Removal of Printing Irregularities or Noise
Filter function
You can apply up to three of the four unique filters developed by OMRON
in the desired order to remove printing irregularities and noise, in order to achieve a stable reading.
Types of Filtering
For white codes, reduces the cell size.
Effective for reading separated dot codes.
Smooth
Smooths the image.
Erosion
Dilate
For white codes, increases the cell size.
Effective for reading codes with cell spreading.
Median
Removes noise.
Combining Filtering
Erosion and dilation can be combined to connect dots without changing the dot thickness.

Automatic Parameter Adjustment Until Reading is Successful
Retry function
Code Readers must be able to read codes even for poor printing conditions. You can automatically retry reading while changing the exposure time
and other reading conditions, even for changing workpieces or environments, to enable a stable reading.
The following retry functions are provided.

Retrying While Changing the Reading Conditions
When reading DPM codes, inconsistencies in printing conditions can result
in NGs if reading is performed with only one set of reading settings.
The FQ-CR allows you to register up to 32 sets of
reading conditions as scenes and retry reading
while changing the scenes in order.
The system automatically determines the scenes
with the highest usage rates and changes the order to start
with them to flexibly handle changes in reading conditions.
Of course you can specify a fixed order if required.

Easy Confirmation of Code Quality
Code Error Correction Position Display
Red circles are displayed on cells
for which the code was corrected on the display.
This clearly shows where the code quality was poor.
