Position measurement for measurement objects with variations	[Flexible Search] Effective for position measurement of measurement objects in which there are variations in markings or shape such as with inspection of packaging, etc. "Processing Item List Manual", "Flexible Search"
Measurement of the inclination of a circular measurement object	[Circle angle] Effective when measuring bottle caps, etc., after correcting the rotation angle. "Processing Item List Manual", "Circle Angle"
Other positioning	[Search] If the shape and background of the measurement object are constant, a processing item such as one that registers an image as a model and searches for this image is effective. "Processing Item List Manual", "Search"

Detecting defects and foreign materials

Count

Method, objective	References
Inspection for number of pins	[Edge Pitch] Effective when calculating the number of IC or connector pins. "Processing Item List Manual", "Edge Pitch"

Measuring dimensions

Method, objective	References
Measurement of width of measurement objects	[Edge Position] Effective when measuring the width of measurement objects. "Processing Item List Manual", "Edge Position"
Dimension inspection of finished products	[Edge Position] [Calculation] To measure the dimensions of finished products, combine [Edge Position] and [Calculation]. Use [Edge Position] to measure position, and [Calculation] to calculate dimensions by calculating the distance between positions. "Processing Item List Manual", "Edge Position" "Processing Item List Manual", "Calculation"
Dimension inspection for circular shapes and tilted parts	[Edge Position] [Calculation] [Edge Position] is effective when measuring the dimensions of circular works and tilted measurement objects. Use this processing item to measure position, [Calculation] to calculate the spacing of positions and then the dimensions.

Measuring folding of papers and sheets

Method, objective	References
Check for folding on plain measurement objects	[Defect] [Precise Defect (FZ3-Hxxx series)] Effective when checking for folding on plain works. "Processing Item List Manual", "Defect"

Checking the interior/exterior and direction

Method, objective	References
Interior/exterior and orientation inspection through presence of markings	[Flexible Search] Effective when there is variation in the size and position of the markings to be checked. "Processing Item List Manual", "Flexible Search"
When precision is required for measurement of markings	[Fine Matching] Effective when there are patterns on the background of markings, markings have a complex shape, or precision is required for measurement of markings. "Processing Item List Manual", "Fine Matching"

Checking for mixing of different objects

Method, objective	References
Inspection for mixing of different measurement objects with variations	[Flexible Search] Effective for inspection of mixing of different objects in which there are variations with markings and the shape of measurement objects. "Processing Item List Manual", "Flexible Search"
Inspection for mixing of different objects for objects with plain background	[Search] Effective for inspection of mixing of different objects for packaging that has plain background. "Processing Item List Manual", "Search"
When accuracy is required for inspection of mixing of different objects	[Fine Matching] Effective when precision is required for inspection of mixing of different objects such as inspection of nameplates and objects other than those with plain backgrounds. "Processing Item List Manual", "Fine Matching"
When not all characters and markings are the same	[Sensitive Search] Effective when the difference between the model image and measurement image is small. The models are automatically finely divided and matched in detail. "Processing Item List Manual", "Sensitive Search"
When performing different inspections according to the type	[Classification] Effective for inspections performed on lines where different types of products are manufactured. "Processing Item List Manual", "Classification"

Checking for deformation

Method, objective	References
Deformation check when there are multiple acceptable shapes	[Flexible Search] Effective when performing inspection for deformation of measurement objects based on multiple acceptable shapes. "Processing Item List Manual", "Flexible Search"
When measuring the shape more strictly	[Fine Matching] Effective when inspecting the shape of workpieces to a high degree of precision. "Processing Item List Manual", "Fine Matching"

Inspecting characters

Method, objective	References
