iRVision First Time Users and Tutorials

iRVision has two great features built in for beginners. The guide for First Time Users will step the user through the major concepts of  iRVision. iRVision also has a pair of tutorials built in, one for a 2D robot mounted camera and one for a 2D fixed camera. These two tutorials will guide the user step by step to setup a basic “find a part / pick a part” application. Once the user completes the tutorial(s) they will have the basics of iRVision that they can then apply to their iRVision application.

iRVision GPM Locator G Edit Feature

The iRVision GPM Locator GEdit featue is designed to allow users to manually create edges on their trained model. Often times these manually trained edges are better and more consistent than the edges found automatically when the GPM model is originally taught. The GEdit feature will improve the trained model allowing for more consistent and accurate finds.

iRVision GPM Locator Learning Feature

This tech short describes the GPM Learning feature that can be used to automatically improve the trained GPM locator's model by automatically removing unreliable or inconsistent edges in the trained model. By improving the trained model the scores of the GPM Locator tool will improve making the vision find more robust.

I R Vision Calibration Vision Master V Master

iRCalibration Vision Master (VMaster)

iRCalibration Vision Master is a utility that can be used to improve the accuracy of a 6 axis robot. The utility uses a temporarily mounted camera and a fixed calibration grid to improve the robot’s mastering for J2, J3, J4, & J5, which will improve the accuracy. J1 and J6 mastering does not affect overall robot accuracy. J1’s mastering can be compensated for by teaching a User Frame and J6’s mastering can be compensated for by teaching a User Tool Frame.
