CV2 Vision Systems
with Faster
Processing, More
Cameras
Epson Robots introduces their new Epson CV2 Vision Systems.
With speeds up to 8x faster than their
CV1 vision systems, the CV2 versions
provide tremendous processing power
to help reduce cycle times and
increase throughput.
Vision Guide has been used in
factories throughout the world to
allow their robots to “see." With a
unique object-based point and click
interface, Vision Guide allows
developers to quickly create
applications in hours vs. weeks or
longer. Also included are the “vision to
robot” calibration tools that take just
minutes to set up for mobile and fixed
camera calibration settings.
At the heart of Vision Guide is the
unique object-based point and click
interface which allows users to easily
define ROIs and apply vision tools by
simply dragging and dropping objects
onto the image display area. Objects
are strung together in a sequence to
build a vision application quickly and
easily. For example, a Geometric
Search Tool could be used to find
specific points of interest on a part
and then line tools could be applied
Tools to then
determine the distance between the
two points of interest on a part.
Once the distance is checked and
the part passes inspection,
coordinates from the found location
are automatically converted to robot
coordinates and the robot moves to
pick up the part using those
coordinates, including X, Y position
and rotation.
CV2 Vision Systems contain
powerful CPUs and vision processing
that runs in parallel with the Epson
RC90 or RC700 controllers, allowing
for maximum throughput. The vision
systems are equipped with high flex
cables (Ethernet or USB) and can be
mounted to a robot arm (mobile) or
mounted to a fixture (fixed). Wizard
based calibration makes robot-to-vision
system calibration simple, and allows
for upward or downward camera
calibrations. With the CV2 Vision
Systems, both GigE and USB 2.0
cameras are supported. Up to six
cameras (four GigE and two USB 2.0)
can be connected to one system.
