Important
  • If dedicated processing items for the FZ3-HIconIconIcon series are used, a process to reduce the processing time for the second and subsequent processing is implemented. Accordingly, the first processing after the controller is started may take longer than the second and subsequent processing even though the same image is measured.

Camera Placement and Image Combination Method

Place the cameras so that the field of vision of each camera overlaps at least 1/4.
To place cameras and combine the images, we recommend using the following setting images.
Image for 2 x 2 camera placement
Image for 1 x 4 camera placement
For 2 x 2 camera placement
  1. Set the camera placement.
    Adjust the camera placement so that the fields of vision overlap at least 1/4 for cameras 0 and 1, 1 and 2, and 2 and 3.
