The HCP/ZF horizontal armature and commutator alignment press combines with the state of the art Omron FZ2 series vision system. The commutator is located in the machine chuck and the armature into a tooling support ring. The use of a chuck allows for the commutator to easily and accurately be rotated to allow the camera to detect the edges of the armature slot and line up accurately with the centre of the mica slot in the commutator, to +/1  0.2mm. A hydraulic press is then used to press the commutator onto the shaft of the armature and still maintain it accuracy.

 The Vision Sensor recognizes 256 gradations of each of the RGB colours, so over 16.77 million colours are captured. It also features a completely new high-speed image processing technology. The Vision Sensor processes colour data approaching the abilities of the human eye, so stable measurements are possible even in lighting conditions that are similar to natural light. Subtle variations in colour are thus accurately recognized, even when there is little contrast between the sample and the background.

Nine different types of camera are available, and up to four cameras can be connected to a single controller. Different kinds of cameras can be connected simultaneously to the same controller, making it possible to combine both colour cameras and black & white cameras, or 300,000-pixel and 2-million-pixel cameras.
