New MicroHAWK V/F400 and V/F300 Series Smart Cameras from Omron simplify inspections with ultra-small footprints
Industrial automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas recently launched the V/F400 and V/F300 Series Smart Cameras, the latest additions to its popular MicroHAWK line that combines code reading and vision inspection capabilities into a single device.
There's a new solution available for manufacturers who are concerned that their product inspections are becoming too complex. The powerful yet compact MicroHAWK V/F400 and V/F300 Series Smart Cameras simplify applications by combining code reading and vision inspection into a single, highly compact device.
By bundling multiple capabilities in one, the V/F400 and V/F300 Series lower hardware costs and minimize the work required for commissioning and maintenance. Powerful technologies such as liquid lens autofocus and a high-resolution 5-megapixel color camera ensure exceptional precision while promoting greater flexibility in production line layouts.
The cutting-edge autofocus technology ensures that the camera can reliably inspect products that vary in size, shape, or desired inspection type. In addition, Omron's advanced X-Mode algorithms can read any code on any surface, including curved, shiny or otherwise textured materials, minimizing downtime and keeping production moving smoothly.
The compact size of the V/F400 and V/F300 Series makes it easy to embed them within space-constrained equipment or mount them on small robots. Their wide variety of supported communication interfaces include Ethernet/IP and PROFINET for added flexibility.
Industry professionals interested in replacing multiple purpose cameras and code readers with a single device are encouraged to visit the MicroHAWK V/F400 and V/F300 Series product page on Omron's website.

JCO Series: NVIDIA Jetson Rugged AI Edge Computers
The JCO Series is a line of NVIDIA Jetson rugged AI edge computers. Unlike standard CPUs, the JCO series employs NVIDIA Jetson-Orin modules, introducing an ARM-based SOM (System-on-Module) architecture with CPU, GPU, and RAM on the same module. This integration brings about significant AI performance right to the edge, coupled with a rugged, fanless design suitable for enduring extreme environments. This series highlights low power consumption (7-60 watts) yet delivers high AI performance up to 275 TOPS, a feat difficult for typical x86 solutions to match. The integration of customizable EDGEBoost IO technology and out-of-band remote management features ensures advanced connectivity and maintenance capabilities, solidifying the JCO Series as an essential solution for mission-critical deployments such as AGV & AMRs, security & surveillance, industrial automation, and industrial IoT. With UL listed, E-Mark, FCC, and CE certifications, the JCO Series meets the highest industry standards for ultimate safety and reliability.
