iRPickTool Improving Tracking Accuracy

Dec 07, 2023

In this video, Application Engineer James Chaykowski provides a comprehensive guide to improving picking accuracy with iRPickTool. He begins by outlining essential sanity checks for your tool center point, tracking frame, and camera calibration. The video then walks viewers through a series of tests using a target to diagnose and address common issues, such as problems with the encoder scale and inaccurate camera calibration. Viewers learn how to fine-tune the system by adjusting the tracking frame and other settings. The video concludes with final steps for achieving perfect picking accuracy and guidance on replicating the process on additional robots.

iRPickTool Tracking Frames

The video explains the concept of a tracking frame as a coordinate system for defining the location of a conveyor. It discusses the x, y, and z directions of a tracking frame, as well as how devices such as robots, cameras, and sensors identify the tracking frame's origin using their own coordinate system.
