COMMUNICATION OF PRODUCT AND QUALITY INFORMATION TO ROBOT/MACHINE CONTROLLER

SENSURE SYNAPSE GUIDANCE can locate the centre of mass (X, Y, Z coordinates) and orientation of a part, and transferring those to a robot or machine controller (PLC, I/O board, etc.). Machine vision guidance achieves far greater speed and accuracy than manual positioning in tasks such as arranging or aligning parts on a conveyor belt.

SENSURE SYNAPSE GUIDANCE can not only send guidance instructions to robot or machine controllers of different brands, but it can also communicate quality information for automatic sorting. This is done by applying different selection criteria, ranging from simple fixed thresholds for product area and colour (a functionality included in SENSURE SYNAPSE GUIDANCE), to the most advanced artificial intelligence algorithms that work through self-learning (a functionality included in SENSURE SYNAPSE QUALITY).

Main features
  • Detection and communication of the product’s centre of mass and orientation to Robot/Machine Controller (with customizable definition of the centre of mass and orientation).
  • Detection and communication of the product’s quality features (area and colour with fixed thresholds) to Robot/Machine Controller.
  • Management of products in contact.
  • Creation of unlimited customized recipes per product.
  • Display of statistical data.
  • Saving of images of defects and rejection causes.
  • Upgradability with other SENSURE SYNAPSE packages.

Absolute and repeatable metric or imperial system
Position calibration

An X, Y calibration tool to express all position measurements in mm (or inch) with respect to a “O” point on the belt.

Color calibration

A colorimetric calibration tool to set the color/exposure parameters of the cameras.

Measurement calibration

A calibration tool to convert pixels to mm (or inch). All dimensional measurements are expressed in mm (or inch).

Intelligent product management
The software allows for the precise placement of products on the same belt without overlapping, ensuring that products are arranged in perfect rows.
Sensure
Smart management of products in contact
The software provides different user-configurable methods to manage products in contact, improving the efficiency of the production line.
Sensure
Customization of grip parameters
The software is designed to provide customized definitions of the gripping point and angle on products with a particular shape, which allows it to adapt to different robot grippers. This feature is made possible through DLL ad-hoc for both barycentre and angle.
