VISION
Search tools PatMax™/Blob
Inspection (multiple feature evaluations: size, shape, rel. positions,
histogram, e.a.)
External Model and Sensor SDK
Linear and non-linear calibration with perspective compensation
Camera acquisition time and transfer rates: typically 50-200 ms on a
high performance PC. Complex models can affect performance.
Up to eight simultaneous camera acquisitions
CONVEYOR TRACKING PERFORMANCE
Repeatability1 conveyor tracking with IRB 340 and IRC5
Conveyor speed [mm/s] Repeatability [mm]
200 1.0
350-750 1.5
800-1400 3.0-5.0
Vision accuracy2
Repeatability for vision is about 1/40 pixel, 0.01 mm possible
1 Repeatability in each position at constant conveyor speed. The accuracy is dependent on the conveyor accuracy and a proper calibration. High robustness against speed variations: repeatability 3.5 mm at 500 mm/s and 0.2 s start/stop time.
2 Dependent on image resolution.
