Vision sensors - Import export

Product handling for randomly fed parts requires a recognition of the position and orientation of each single part. Depending on the application, vision sensors with integrated processor or networked cameras with centralized processor can be used. Demanding algorithms for inspection, sorting and grading require the recognition of additional product characteristics for each single part. Critical and validated applications in the medical, pharmaceutical or semiconductor industry may even require multiple inspections or advanced data matching with an external data base. VELTRU specifies a simple minimal standard interface for machine vision to allow integrating any vision system. This interface makes use of the existing calibration routines to determine the sensor location relative to the robot and to communicate product location and orientation on a conveyor belt. The VELTRU V10 Vision Connection is a tight integration for the Matrox Design Assistant, a flow chart based configuration to
