VISOR®: Intelligent Pick & Place calibration with a point pair list

To convert sensor coordinates into robot coordinates, a point pair list is created with at least six corresponding pairs of coordinates. To do this, a suitable calibration part is placed in various positions in the vision sensor’s field of view and the respective coordinates are transmitted from the robot control system to the VISOR® configuration software. Thanks to clever user aids, such as the graphic “snap function”, calibration is completed in just seconds. The calibration process can even be fully automated through interface commands, e.g. via Ethernet, Ethernet/IP or Profinet. This is par ticularly useful when recalibrating or modifying applications.
