A Look at the Types of Vision System Technology for Robots<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573839227705{padding-right: 80px !important;padding-left: 80px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re going to introduce a cobot with a robot vision AI capability to your facility, you\u2019ll need to install a robot vision system. You currently have three options for your vision system technology:<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_columns=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1573839821455{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” id=”software”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1531471812541{padding-right: 3rem !important;padding-bottom: 3rem !important;padding-left: 3rem !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573836717373{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]1D Technology<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573836744939{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]A one-dimensional sensor may be sufficient for your manufacturing plant if your goal is to figure out the height of a particular component moving on a conveyor system. You could, for instance, utilize a cobot equipped with a 1D sensor to calculate the distance from the surface of an object to the sensor. The machine will display a laser point on a surface and use triangulation to obtain the distance value.<\/p>\nYou can also harness 1D technology for inspections. If you plan to check the surface of a product or component on a moving conveyor, you may install a machine with a line-scan camera on top of the conveyor. This enables you to collect line images, combine them to form a two-dimensional picture and perform an analysis on the photo.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”http:\/\/tm-robot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/unnamed-file-2.png” image_size=”full” pxs=”true” pxs_x=”0″ pxs_y=”50″ pxs_z=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_columns=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1573836491646{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” id=”software”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1531471812541{padding-right: 3rem !important;padding-bottom: 3rem !important;padding-left: 3rem !important;}”][mk_image src=”http:\/\/tm-robot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/unnamed-file-3.png” image_size=”full” pxs=”true” pxs_x=”0″ pxs_y=”50″ pxs_z=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1573839810647{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573836837339{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]2D Technology<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573836849116{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Cobots with 2D scanning technology are similar to the traditional cameras that people use. This technology allows you to generate images by obtaining the x and y coordinates for the values of each pixel.<\/p>\nBesides cameras, you can integrate 2D technology into a cobot and turn the machine into a 2D laser scanner. With this technology, you can obtain the distance measurements for the entire width of a product or component.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_columns=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1573839580974{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}” id=”software”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1531471812541{padding-right: 3rem !important;padding-bottom: 3rem !important;padding-left: 3rem !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1573839422301{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573839471840{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;}”]3D Technology<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573836937051{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]You may harness the benefit of 3D technology by integrating it into a cobot to create a 3D scanner. These scanners employ a range of techniques, such as structured lighting and laser triangulation. You can apply these techniques for various purposes, including metrology and reverse engineering. Depending on your goal, you can obtain precise data (which could take minutes) or get quick, approximate data that\u2019s still adequate for your needs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”http:\/\/tm-robot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2.png” image_size=”full” pxs=”true” pxs_x=”0″ pxs_y=”50″ pxs_z=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false” id=”safe” css=”.vc_custom_1573836510317{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][mk_fancy_title size=”36″ force_font_size=”true” size_smallscreen=”36″ size_tablet=”34″ size_phone=”30″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” animation=”fade-in”]<\/p>\nChoosing the Vision System for Your Needs<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573837069642{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 1rem !important;padding-left: 1rem !important;}”]<\/p>\n
When it comes to the specific vision system you can purchase on the market, you have two options. First is an independent or standalone camera with a sensor that requires processing on a separate device. The second is a smart camera or intelligent camera that comes with a processor and sensor embedded in a casing. Figuring out which option is more superior is futile, as the ideal choice would depend on the need of your facility.<\/p>\n
If you need help choosing the most suitable camera for your manufacturing plant, take note of these criteria:<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1573837402166{padding-top: 50px !important;background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.58) !important;*background-color: rgb(0,0,0) !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1556170989849{margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573837274016{padding-right: 1rem !important;padding-left: 1rem !important;}”]<\/p>\n
Price<\/span><\/h4>\nIf you\u2019re getting a camera with a state-of-the-art processor that generates hi-res images, you can expect to shell out cash with these kinds of specifications. On top of that, you\u2019ll need to synchronize both the camera and the processor. Alternatively, you can opt for an independent, \nplug-and-play camera if \nyou\u2019re on a budget.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1556170998297{margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573837120896{padding-right: 1rem !important;padding-left: 1rem !important;}”]<\/p>\nThe Need for Image Processing <\/span><\/h4>\nIndependent, non-integrated cameras need a processor to analyze the collected images. You can, for instance, plug this camera to your PC and let the computer process the photos for you. On the other hand, smart cameras have embedded software libraries that perform basic image processing. You can configure the parameters of an intelligent camera to teach a template image, recognize a pattern, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1550059650539{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573837142688{padding-right: 1rem !important;padding-left: 1rem !important;}”]<\/p>\n
Programming Expertise<\/span><\/h4>\nProgramming a smart camera can be easier than configuring its standalone counterpart. Some intelligent cameras have an online-based interface that allows you to connect the camera to a device by configuring the IP setting. Others contain a built-in vision feature that you can set up quickly. Non-integrated standalone cameras, on the other hand, need an additional program or software that enables you to analyze images. <\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false” id=”safe” css=”.vc_custom_1573836510317{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1573837333452{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 1rem !important;padding-left: 1rem !important;}”]<\/p>\n
