Vision cell directs robots

Robotic vision cell acts as an inline inspection machine, examining up to 150 component features in 5 s. It is equipped with an articulating robot arm that pulls product off a conveyor feedline, presents it to a single- or multiple-camera viewing station, then returns the part to the assembly process or rejects it into containers. Various product features can be inspected, including overall dimension, component presence, and relative position. The vision cell performs automatic validation cycles, based on the preset values programmed. Program cycles can be reviewed on the touch screen in real time. The cell has onboard Ethernet connectivity for uploading data to a host process controller.
