Product Usage Instructions

Setup and Calibration:
To begin using the IntelliGuide Vision system, ensure compatibility with the specified robots. Calibrate the cameras and set the working distance as required.

Gripper Configuration:
If using gripper fingers with the system, specify the offset to the gripper fingers for accurate object manipulation.

Vision Tools Utilization:
Explore the various vision tools available such as object locator, barcode reading, image capture, and image sharpness adjustment for precise vision applications.

Auto-Recovery and Auto-Teach Functions:
Take advantage of the auto-recovery feature for automatic reteaching of locations in case of workspace shifts. Use auto-teach to quickly recover from changes by reading ArUco markers.

Object Localization and Image Analysis:
Utilize the system for locating objects in dynamic environments and capturing time-stamped images for further analysis or troubleshooting.

IntelliGuide™ Vision

Vision Made Easy for PreciseFlex Robots

Simplify Vision Applications
Cameras embedded in the gripper (forward and downward facing) enable less engineering effort, faster deployment, and shorter time-to-production.
Factory calibrated and ready to use out of the box.
Simply specify offset to gripper fingers.
Additional Vision Tools Available.

Reduce Design, Eng. and Deployment Costs
Significantly reduces the time needed from system design to installation and deployment.

Traceability with Barcode Reading
Read 1D and 2D barcodes. See specifications for complete list.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Key Benefits

• Fast and easy deployment unlocks the best ROI
• Automatically adapt to changes in workspace
• Eliminate time consuming teaching for simple and complex applications
• Higher reliability with no external cables

Key Features

• Auto-Recovery When Change Happens
  Automatic recovery and reteaching of locations when things shift in the workspace.

• Auto-Teach
  Read ArUco Markers and determine offsets to hotels, instruments, magazines, fixtures etc. Quickly recover from changes in workcell without reteaching tens or hundreds of locations.

• Ideal for Roll-up Carts and AMRs
  Easily locate objects in dynamic environments.

• Image Capture
  Capture time-stamped images when an event occurs and transfer for further analysis. Useful for trouble shooting of chain of custody.

• Image Sharpness
  Returns image sharpness that enables focus adjustment by moving the robot closer to, or farther away from, the target.

• Object Locator
  Geometric part locator tool for locating objects in 2D space.
  Quickly train objects and start picking from trays, conveyors, nests, etc.
