Machine vision software enhances the intelligence of our robotic systems. Utilizing laser guidance programs and multiple cameras, machine vision software can improve the accuracy of our reliable robotic arms, as well as increase the number of operations performed by the industrial automation equipment. For example machine vision allows the robot cell to inspect manufactured goods to ensure your highest standard of quality for your final product. Machine vision software, utilizing 3-D technology, inspects the work accomplished on the assembly line, just as a human inspector would visually inspect parts to monitor the quality of workmanship.

Manufacturers prefer machine vision systems for inspections that require high-magnification, high-speed, and accurate repeatability. In addition, machine vision software can record the measurements of the visual inspections, and offer other measuring operations, often faster than human operators using traditional measuring devises.

Machine vision software is being utilized to enhance the accuracy and performance of vision-guided robots that are used in grinding and polishing. For example, machine vision software is used by material removal robots to polish jewelry, a process that requires extremely accurate and reliable robotic systems. The robotic cell configurations can also be used for a variety of other practical and cost-effective applications. Vision guided robots can locate and identify parts, measure variations, determine a part’s orientation for material handling robots, and utilizes a PC-Based graphic interface on the robot controller so that no program language is required by the operation.
