VeriSens Application Suite

VeriSens vision sensors

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.

VeriSens SmartGrid – the intelligent calibration target

VeriSens SmartGrid (patent pending) with automated coordinate alignment of vision sensor and Universal Robot will reduce setup times of robot-compatible vision sensors to only few minutes – while improving precision and eliminating the conventionally required time-consuming and manual hand-eye calibration. Supported are automated image distortion correction in real time, conversion to world coordinates and additional Z-calibration for 3D scaling of coordinates.

VeriSens URCap – your access to easy robot control

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.

FEX image processor

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.

FEXLoc part location

The integrated FEXLoc part location with reliable 360° part recognition allows VeriSens vision sensors to virtually align objects – regardless of the background. This completely eliminates mechanical part alignment and feeding.

VeriFlash flash controller

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.

VeriSens Application Suite

The robot experts

Robot-compatible vision sensors VeriSens XF900 and XC900 offer even faster and easier access to image processing for collaborating robots (cobots) of Universal Robots.

SmartGrid (patent pending) will reduce setup times to just a few minutes – and is even more precise without the need for time-consuming manual hand-eye calibration.

Thanks to the VeriSens URCap interface in the robot controller, the vision sensors are fast and easily integrated into the program sequence. Two additional commands (nodes) suffice to access to the many image processing options and 21 powerful feature checks.
