Hi everyone,
I am new to integrated vision
I work on a project to detect objects with an irb 1200 and a camera, I know the ABB robot came with its own solution (Cognex camera) but I want to use another camera.
Thank you for your help in advance
ABB Integrated vision won’t work without a compatible abb camera.
I have heard from abb that the rebranded cognex cameras have a special firmware making them work with robotstudio, so a standard cognex camera won’t connect with integrated vision.
(Please correct me if this is wrong)
If you want to use another camera you have to use a different software to handle the camera.
This is true of the cameras to work with Pickmaster.
From the Integrated Vision Manual:
The purpose of ABB’s Integrated Vision system is to provide a robust and
easy-to-use vision system for general purpose Vision Guided Robotics (VGR)
applications.
The system includes a complete software and hardware solution that is fully
integrated with the IRC5 robot controller and the RobotStudio programming
environment. The vision capability is based on the Cognex In-Sight® smart camera
family, with embedded image processing and an Ethernet communication interface.
RobotStudio is equipped with a vision programming environment that exposes the
full palette of Cognex EasyBuilder® functionality with robust tools for part location,
part inspection and identification. The RAPID programming language is extended
with dedicated instructions and error tracing for camera operation and vision
guidance.
Thank you all for your help
