Three-dimensional vision systems using a single camera
Further development of the 2D technology resulted in an intelligent recognition method that enables determination of a part`s height using just a single camera and a single camera position. This technology, called 2½ D Robot Vision, results in a system that is affordable, and yet, at the same time complete. 3D palletizing is a typical application using of 2½ D Robot Vision.
Technical advantages:
· Enables the picking of parts from a box · Height determination using a single camera by integration of the z-axis · Object recognition at any scale and rotation · Simple to use even by a beginner · Flexible integration, simple and quick teach-in process · Simple user-interface under Windows operating systems · Integrated automatic calibration · Recognition from simple marks to complex part configurations · Integrated standard interfaces such as Field-bus, Interbus-S, Profibus, CanBus, Ethernet, etc. · Supported robot interfaces include KUKA, ABB, FANUC, KAWASAKI and others · Network enabled for monitoring, parameter exchange, maintenance, archiving, and training
