Keep on Evolving
Speed and accuracy determine the basic
performance of sensing.Usability efficiently
puts that performance to work.OMRON’s FZ
Series of Vision Sensors represent an evolu-
tionary journey that takes these three aspects
from the past and into the future to allow you
to increase quality.

Quad Processing
Single processing led to dual processing, and now the FZ4 takes evolution one
step farther with quad processing featuring multi-core, multi-thread operation.
Parallel execution of the process flow is automatically calculated to achieve
optimum allocation of tasks according to the processor load to achieve the
fastest processing in this class. The rapidly-evolving Intel
®
processors are used.
Performance is maximized with a unique software structure that is matched to
the processors.
Four-track Parallel Processing
Software that has been designed specifically for quad processing automatically determines the faster processing scheme. Maximum speed has been
achieved even for High-resolution Cameras and search processing, both of which place a high load on the system.

High-speed Processing for High-resolution Images of 5 Million Pixels
Twice the Processing Speed
Multi-core processing distributes processing to increase speed even for
individual processes.The results are the most apparent for high-resolution
images.

Increase Quality without Increasing Takt Time
Even if the takt time takes priority, you can still process high-resolution
and Real Color images with limited affect on the takt time. We can help
you increase quality for both color and resolution.

The FZ4-1100 and it’s quad processing can
let you change from a 2-million to a 5-
million-pixel Camera with essentially no
increase in the processing time.

Multi-input Function
Faster processing by preceding image capture and inspection in parallel
Up to 32 image capture*
Each camera has its own image buffer for storing image data that is separate from the main memory used for measurement processing. This allows for up
to 32 frames of continuous high-speed image capture even while the main memory is processing measurement data.
