Enhanced vision for Robots

Nov. 20, 2019
The latest iVY2 system works with Yamaha’s SCARA, Cartesian, orbital, single-, and multi-axis robots.

Hosted on the company’s RCX340 robot controller, the vision system simplifies setup, accelerates performance and brings vision into the overall robot-control program for ease of use and efficiency. The system supports up to 5 Mpixel cameras to allow high-resolution imaging for fast and stable workpiece detection. In addition, wizard-assisted auto-calibration and easy three-step workpiece registration eliminate laborious setup tasks. Users can complete setups up to 80% faster than typical general-purpose vision systems. Features include an image-edge search engine that enhances part detection under difficult lighting conditions, and a DVI-I output that enables users to analyze search status at any time including during calibration or when the robot is operating automatically. There is also support for extra part types, with capacity to register up to 254 parts. The vision system can leverage dedicated vision instructions that simplify programming and accelerate component search and tracking, in conjunction with the optional RCX340 tracking board. Search time is reduced by up to 50%, which allows the system to detect large numbers of conveyorized parts at high speed and thus enhance robot pickup.
