Smart Vision sensors control Universal Robots

The patented SmartGrid with automated coordinate alignment of vision sensor and Universal Robot will reduce setup times of robot-compatible vision sensors to only few minutes - with higher accuracy and without time-consuming manual hand-eye calibration. Automatic image rectification in real time, conversion to world coordinates and additional Z-calibration for coordinate scaling in space are supported.

VeriSens URCap is the user-friendly Universal Robots app for easy installation and integration of vision sensors into the program sequence. Two additional commands (nodes) suffice to benefit from the versatile VeriSens image processing potential.

Where others only see grayscales, the patented Baumer FEX image processor for the VeriSens vision sensors calculates object contours at the subpixel level in real time. This means that your image processing functions reliably and quickly at all times, even in unstable ambient light conditions.

The integrated FLEXLoc part location with reliable 360° part detection enables virtual object alignment to check the correct positions – independent of the background. This means that mechanical part alignment is no longer necessary.

Thanks to the fully integrated VeriFlash flash controller, the VeriSens vision sensors of the XC series generate external flash pulses with up to 48 V and 4 A; hence expensive external flash controllers and the entailed programming effort are no longer needed.

The configuration software VeriSens Application Suite is uniform for all vision sensors, includes a configurable web interface, is available in nine languages, and guides even non-experts to a fully configured vision sensor in four clearly understandable steps.
