Select whether the camera is mounted on a robot or not.
- [No]
- The camera is fixed.
- A fixed camera is attached to the top of the pedestal or another fixed structure. In this method, the camera always sees the same view from the same distance. An advantage of a fixed camera is that the robot cycle time can be reduced because iRVision can take and process a picture while the robot performs another task.
- The offset mode where a fixed camera takes a picture of a workpiece on a table and the visual sensor measures the error to grip the workpiece properly is 'Fixed Frame Offset'.
- The offset mode where a robot grips a workpiece to hold it up in front of a fixed camera which measures the tool offset to put the workpiece on a designated proper position is 'Tool Offset'.
- [Yes]
- The camera is mounted on the robot end of arm tooling.
- The robot-mounted camera is mounted on the wrist unit of the robot. By moving the robot, measurement can be done at different locations or with different distances between the workpiece and the camera. When a robot-mounted camera is used, iRVision calculates the position of the workpiece while taking into account the camera movement resulting from the robot being moved.
