Robot vision software update from OnRobot
OnRobot has launched a software update for its popular "Eyes' robot vision system, part of a broader application-focused strategy designed to give OnRobot customers ongoing enhancements across its product portfolio. The new features, which enable Eyes to be deployed in quality inspection applications and on mobile setups, include one-shot detection for multiple objects, colour and blob detection and automatic landmark calibration tools designed to speed cycle time for mobile robot setups. Eyes' new inspection features enable the system to easily sort, inspect, or pick & place unstructured objects using colour and contour detection.
This detection method requires no workpiece teaching and finds items based on colour and size information input by the operator. Eyes' inspection features can be used to inspect parts removed from CNC machines, for example, or to check IMM parts for excessive or inadequate material after part has been moulded. The tools also support manual inspections: operators can set up a camera and inspection program, manually place a workpiece in view and execute inspection with no robot required. The update also provides users with one-shot detection for multiple objects, allowing the system to pick all workpieces with only one picture. This reduces complexity for users and improves cycle times, says OnRobot. The update includes tools that allow users to request specific workpiece types and specify gripper clearance parameters.
