Epson CV2 Vision Systems incorporates software that reduces time … – Ultimoinstante

The Epson Robots, Epson division that operates in advanced robotics and automation technology, presents to the new market Epson CV2 Vision Systems, robot offers a high processing power to help reduce the use of time and increase the yield in the development to visually guided applications.

“The Guidance software by Vision Epson, the Vision Guide, leads the industry in visually guided applications by providing a click and drag interface easy to use. However, our customers continue to charge more speed, more cameras, higher resolution and more tools. Visual Epson CV2 systems provide all this and more, “said Michael Ferrara, director of Epson Robots. “‘Powerfully simple’, it is how consumers call the product based on visual features of Vision Guide”.

For over 15 years, Epson Vision Guide has been used in factories around the world, allowing intuitive applications are developed in hours, rather than days or weeks. The system features powerful tools designed to help solve the most difficult visual applications. The Vision Guide is fully integrated into the Epson RC + development environment, which helps companies save resources.

The new Epson CV2 Vision Systems systems incorporate CPU and processor running in parallel with the Epson RC90 controllers or RC700, allowing maximum performance. The CV2 Vision Systems for vision guidance software is the only interface that allows users to easily set parameters and apply the tools, simply by dragging and dropping objects in the image display area, and then setting property values ​​associated as necessary. The objects are placed in sequence to build a quick and easy application.

included as standard features are the locator tools (geometric search polar search etc.), inspection tools (inspection line, defects locator) , building tools (edges, lines, dots), color-matching tools, code readers and more. Also included are “robots vision,” calibration tools that take just minutes to set up mobile and fixed calibration cameras. For example, a Geometric Search Tool can be used to find specific points of interest on a piece and then line tools can be “attached” to the results of Geometric Search Tool to then determine the distance between two points for purposes inspection. The camera coordinates from the location found are automatically converted into robot coordinates and then the robot moves to take part using these coordinates, including the position “X, Y” and rotation.

Overview The orientation is facilitated by using a variety of internal calibrations for fixed and mobile cameras that work with any variety of Epson robot models. There are problems of the robot controller communication to the vision system, only one development environment, one click interface and drag and powerful tools to make the guidance easy robot applications.

With the visual systems CV2, both GigE and USB 2.0 cameras are supported. The default visual system Epson CV2 has an optional camera (sold separately) of 640 × 480. You can also use 2 megapixel camera and 5 megapixels for high-precision applications or when a larger field of view is required. Color cameras can also be used.

The systems are equipped with flexible cables (Ethernet or USB) and with them, the cameras Epson CV2 can be mounted to the robotic arm (mobile) or to a support. Calibration based wizard allows you to use more than one camera on the same project and in different positions. Two models are available, depending on the speed requirements (VC2-S and CV2-H with CV2 having approximately 2x the speed of VC2-S).
