Create Region of Interest
The Locator Model creation is followed by creating a region of interest, where the software will
look for instances of the Model.
The green box shown in the following picture can be adjusted. This step is critical, since the
robot should be able to pick any part inside this region.
Test the robot to verify that it can reach each edge of the green box region (Region of Interest)
without touching the bulk container, feeder platform side panels, or feeder platform front
panel.
Teach Picture-taking Position
Choose a position such that the robot does not interfere with the camera's view.
If, in Select Configuration, you selected using an upward-facing camera to refine the position of
a picked part, the wizard would step you through that at this time. Typically, you don't need
to set up another camera to refine the position, but for applications requiring more precision in
placement, you can add another camera to refine the position of the part in the gripper.
Automatic Calibration
The next step is to run the automatic calibration. The purpose of this is to make sure the robot
can pick any parts that are within the vision window based on the camera picture received.
During this process, the robot works with the vision system to first see where the part is (while
the robot is waiting at picture-taking position) and then the SmartVision MX calculates the loc-
ation and directs the robot to pick up the part. If the camera calibration is performed correctly,
