    Automatic calibration

    automatic calibration window

    Simple set-up and improve accurancy

    Time-consuming teaching has been automated and accuracy improved.

    • Automating the teaching process has made set-up easier.
    • Configure settings such as the camera position, FOV, and resolution in the automatic calibration window. Automatic teaching and automatic calibration is possible.
    • With automatic calibration, operating conditions are stabilized and accuracy is increased.

    Cameras can be mounted in three positions

    Calibration of work coordinates

    Teaching is now automated. This makes calibration of the robot and peripheral devices extremely simple.
    Note1) This function can only be used when a 2D vision sensor is used as a hand eye.
    Note2) Horizontal articulated robot (4-axis) not supported.

    Troublesome teaching work eliminated

    Teaching of workpiece coordinates is automated. Set-up time and troublesome work reduced.

    Automatic calibration is possible even in environments where the workpiece coordinates and the robot's relative position change.
    Easy calibration of robots and pallets installed on automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or carts.

    Relative position calibration

    Relative position calibration

    Intricate teaching of the robot is automated. Setting up interference avoidance and collaborative operation is now extremely simple!
    Note1) MELFA FR series D type robots not supported.
    Note2) Horizontal articulated robot (4-axis) not supported.

    Reduce man-hours spent

    Reduce man-hours spent improving accuracy and setting up interference avoidance and collaborative operation.
    Calibration is automated so that the same work coordinates can be used by multiple robots. Reduce worker errors and workloads.

    Example

    Two robots used
