Vision systems are more accessible than one might think.
Fanuc's new R-2000iB series uses its vision capabilities and the latest controller for precise, coordinated movement.
Fanuc showcased this winning combination at the 2007 International Robots and Vision Show. The demo included a
new R-2000iB robot equipped with an R-J3
iC controller and
iRVision.
Fanuc used the robot to select curved parts from a jumble and place them in a container. With
iRVision, robots use a
laser vision sensor to "see" the location and orientation of parts. This easy-to-use 3D vision system is fully integrated with the controller. The only additional equipment needed is a camera and a cable.
The intelligent
R-2000iB series includes standard 165kg payload, large payload, and rack-installation robots. They are multi-use versatile robots. The
new R-J3
iC controller simplifies floorplans and monitoring. It can coordinate movements of up to 10 robots.
