Image processing for robots
Vision sensors control UR cobots
Baumer has developed the new robot-compatible VeriSens vision sensors XF900 and XC900. They can control the cobots from Universal Robots after just a short set-up time.
The robot-compatible vision sensors from Baumer are mounted directly on the Universal Robots cobot or above it. Thanks to the patent-pending SmartGrid, calibration with regard to image rectification, conversion to world coordinates and coordinate alignment between the vision sensor and robot is automatic and extremely simple. This eliminates the otherwise time-consuming manual hand-eye calibration of the robot and vision sensor. This is not only more accurate, but also reduces the set-up time to just a few minutes. The robot-compatible XF/XC900 models will be available from December 2019.
The installation and configuration of the vision sensors is transparent and easy to understand: using the specially developed VeriSens URCap interface for robot control, only a few steps are required to benefit from the wide range of VeriSens image processing options. Only two additional commands (nodes) are required in the robot programming itself so that numerous applications across all industries can benefit from the advantages of vision-guided robotics. Instead of taught-in waypoints, the robot moves to free positions where objects have been visually recognized. In addition, the already established functions can be used to check for object overlaps and gripper clearance. Furthermore, VeriSens vision sensors can, for example, check free storage positions, carry out quality checks on objects with variable positioning in the room and identify and measure objects.
