See the Difference: Robots Paired With Machine Vision Create Automated and Efficient Motion, Leaving the Old Generation Behind

摘要

Concept Systems (www.conceptsystemsinc.com) in Albany, Ore., provides integration services and automation products to machine builder OEMs. These systems typically consist of robotic workcells with integrated machine vision and 3-D laser scanning. Doug Taylor, project engineer at Concept Systems, describes how a robot with vision is being used to decorate cakes, saying, "We supplied a 3-D vision system retrofit for a pair of robotic cake decorating lines for a large bakery, replacing a 2-D camera system that only, provided the center point of the cake (X-Y), but offered no Z-axis information whatsoever," Taylor adds.
