Definition of the image configuration concept An image configuration is an element consisting of parameters which are not dependent on the parts and which enable AsyView to function correctly and send the position of the parts accurately.
  • Page 8 © Copyright Asyril S.A. Structure of the SmartSight Version: C2 2.1.1.2. Calibrations Calibrations make it possible to match the coordinate systems of the various elements in the system. They are closely related to the field of view and the image region, so each image configuration will have its own calibrations.

  • Page 18: Calibrating The Process

    (robot, handling arm, etc.). To do this, Asyril offers a calibration platform, which is a plate with holes. It is therefore necessary to create a model that detects these holes, which will acquire the positions in the vision coordinate system of the 4 external points of the platform.

Creation and configuration of a new recipe Version: C2 In order to reduce the component stabilisation time, the Asycube platform may be machined (grooves, holes, etc.). In this case, the vibration sequence must be adapted to the type of platform (so that the parts are directly positioned in the grooves or holes for example).

    To do this, Asyril has provided an easy tuning system. Simply adjust this in the same manner as for a single hopper. In this simple case, the objective is always for the duration of the hopper vibration to enable the platform to be filled with the number of parts required on the platform (100 parts in the example shown above).
