ABB Integrated Vision robot guidance system

ABB Integrated Vision is a smart camera system that makes vision-guided robotics applications faster and easier to deploy. Using 2D vision guidance, manufacturers have the ability to track products more accurately, improve supply chain management, improve quality, troubleshoot challenging lines and processes and significantly expand their use of robotic automation. Taken together, the advantages of vision-guided robotics can significantly improve a company’s bottom line, saving time, money and resources.

The system, powered by Cognex, features sophisticated imaging technologies such as Cognex’s PatMax algorithm for advanced part location. The result is robust inspection, defect detection, guidance, alignment and measurement which are necessary to ensure manufactured products meet the highest standards.

RobotStudio, ABB’s PC-based programming tool, provides the platform for creating vision tasks quickly and easily. Operators can select features, set parameters and operate under real-world conditions from a library of common vision applications. The smart camera offers a wide range of built-in communication protocols that interface directly with the ABB robot, making it simple to get a robot up and running.
