Integrated service package
3D vision sensor on the robot
With the 3D vision sensor from Fanuc, images can be taken during the movement of a robot to determine the gripping position. This "snap-in-motion" function saves time during fast gripping processes because the robot does not have to interrupt its movement to take a picture.
In addition to the sensor itself, the integrated service package also includes software and cables. All interfaces for automation are already available and the hardware required for image processing is already integrated in the robot controller. The sensor is suitable for detecting workpieces with shiny and reflective surfaces. It operates in a field of view of up to around 450 x 530 millimeters with a resolution of 950 x 1,204 pixels, making it even more accurate than the high-performance 3D area sensor. The R-30iB Plus robot controller provides good conditions for operating the 3D vision sensor in terms of both performance and storage options. The sensor is mounted after the sixth axis, i.e. between the wrist and gripper; in an application with an increased risk of collision, the sensor can also be integrated into a gripper. pb
