Benefit of a Multi-task System
Conventional imaging systems cannot perform two inspection processing simultaneously. With Dual Mega
ARCS Engines, one controller accepts two trigger inputs simultaneously or randomly to process two different
setups parallely or independently.
Complete parallel processing of measurement and logging means you can also connect high-speed, large-
capacity (up to 2 terabytes) hard disk drives. Accordingly, you can save all images on high-speed tact lines,
which was difficult to do with conventional systems (*1).
One unit performs inspections that normally require two units Multi-line random trigger mode
All images can be saved even during measurement High speed logging mode

Defect inspection on a new
product or a line adopting a
new manufacturing method
All images you have saved can be utilized for
trend analysis to help establish an appropriate
manufacturing method quickly for a new product
or a line adopting a new manufacturing method.

When a NG occurs, the cause can be identified and
remedial actions taken quickly.
r
Saving all images leads to more efficient traceability control.
Before, two controllers were needed to inspect two locations,
processes or lines within the required tact time, which added
to introduction cost.
With the FZ3-900 series, on the other hand, two triggers
can be input randomly to run two independent inspection
processing in parallel.
Since logging was not possible during measurement, the user
had to choose either measurement or logging. Accordingly,
not all images could be saved or image input triggers had to
be delayed depending on the measurement trigger intervals.
Measurement and image logging are processed completely in
parallel. As a result, you can save all images.

Simultaneous inspection of two

This mode is ideal for applications where triggers
are not input simultaneously or constantly, such
as when the top surface is inspected with a single
trigger and side faces with four triggers.
You can reduce the number of controllers to be installed
to save installation space, introduction cost and current
consumption.
