Items Description Setting range

value
Rotation
Range
Sets a range of the rotating direction to search
an outline of the target.
The system judges NG if an angle of the
target exceeds its rotation range even if the
target is the same shape.
If the setting of the rotation range is too wide,
the acceptable range of variations of angles
when a target is placed can be increased.
If the setting of the rotation range is too
narrow, the processing time can be shorten.
This can be used for judging the direction of
the target by limiting the rotation range.
0 to ± 180° (Unit: ± 1°) ± 20°
Margin
Select whether or not to allow the margin for
the limited angle set in Rotation Range.
ON
The tool window will search
with the range ± few degrees
wider than the setting value of
rotation range.
OFF
The tool window will search only
within the set rotation range.
ON
Search
Algorithm
The detection mode of the Outline tool can be
selected according to the target.
High Accuracy
Differences in outlines can be
detected with a high degree of
accuracy.
High Speed
Outlines can be judged faster than
in high accuracy mode.
There may be an inuence from
the background or unnecessary
outlines other than the target.
High
Accuracy
Tool Name
An arbitrary name such as the name of a
target can be set in tools. Tool names can be
checked on the run screen.
