Flexible robot guidance
Use six-axis motion where the application needs flexible approach angles, reorientation, inspection from several viewpoints or access around machines and fixtures. Vision can be fixed, robot-mounted or combined.
A fixed camera can give an overview of the work area, while a camera on the robot can refine the approach or inspect several faces. The arrangement is selected around visibility, cycle time and calibration stability.
Reach on a datasheet is not the same as usable access. Robot pose, wrist alignment, tooling length, singularities, fixtures and guarding all shape the working envelope.
System sequence
Every stage is tested against the product, timing, interfaces and agreed response.
Choose fixed, moving or combined camera viewpoints.
Calculate product pose and a valid tool approach.
Plan a reachable, collision-aware path and orientation.
Confirm grip, placement or inspection outcome.
Typical applications
Final suitability and performance are confirmed only after review of the complete production application.
Application questions
These answers provide a starting point. Product trials and line data determine the project specification.
The camera is mounted on the robot, allowing it to move to different viewpoints or refine a final approach. The camera-to-tool relationship must be calibrated and protected.
Yes. The robot can present the product to fixed cameras or move a camera around the product, subject to required resolution, access and cycle time.
It offers greater orientation freedom, but may not be the most direct architecture for every high-speed planar task. Selection is based on motion, payload, speed, access and total cell needs.
