Today, I will use IRB 2400 with Pickmaster 3 and Camera.
In my application, I need only one conveyor. So Pickmaster only execute object on Pick conveyor. Robot will execute the object in the Fixed position.
I mean we know certainly how far does fixed-distance Robot Executing area from Camera Executing area.
In other words, I don’t need Conveyor Tracking, because the conveyor is intermitten (always stop when robot execute the objects).
Can I run this system using Pickmaster without Encoder? If I can, what I must modify?
Yes, Indexed work areas are supposed to be used in your type of application. It is widely used when you have a fixed station with random objects at it.
In your case, you have to make sure you have a common calibration for the vision station and pick station, and they have to be accurate with very good repeatability.
But I do not understand why you are not using an encoder to track the belt? There are several advantages, the most valuable is higher capacity and throughput.
Thanks for your respons. I am not using an encoder to track the conveyor, because my conveyor in this case is not an belt conveyor type, but it is an roller conveyor type which there will be an slip case between object and conveyor roller. Thus the encoder reading will be not accurate enough.
