Type of Calibration assistance function
Using the 2D vision sensor, the following calibration functions can be used.
| Function name | Usefulness | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic calibration | Robot/2D vision sensor integration | Input multiple values such as the robot and sensor coordinates, and the relative position between the robot and camera is automatically calculated. |
| Calibration of work coordinates | Robots and peripheral devices/jigs | Calibration between the robot coordinates and optional coordinates such as peripheral devices, jigs, and workpieces is performed using a vision sensor. |
| Relative position calibration | Robots working with robots | Multiple robots recognize the same workpiece coordinates and use them to find the relative position between each other. |
Supported robots

System architecture
Automatic calibration
Calibration of coordinates can be done automatically. Set-up is extremely simple.
Simple set-up
- 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.
Improved accuracy
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.
Usefulness: Robots and peripheral devices/jigs.
Troublesome teaching work eliminated
Use the automatic calibration function to carry out calibration between the robot and hand eye in advance.
Teaching of workpiece coordinates is automated. Set-up time and troublesome work reduced.
note1) This function can only be used when a 2D vision sensor is used as a hand eye.
note2) Horizontal multi-joint robots (4-axis) not supported.
Calibration possible even in environments where workpiece coordinates and the robot's relative position change.
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
Reduce man-hours spent improving accuracy and setting up interference avoidance and collaborative operation.
note1) Horizontal multi-joint robots (4-axis) not supported.
note2) D type robots not supported.
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.
