System Product Lineup Easy to use and reduction of work steps. "Finds and Picks up" and "Pursues and Picks up" without teaching. Many robot users might think, "We tried vision recognition, but it seemed to take a lot of work" or "we tried it before, but making adjustments was a tough job". But YAMAHA iVY system solves these problems. Anyone can make the setup easily to contribute to reduction of work steps.

iVY system layout A robot controller with an image processing function is completed only by setting the iVY board in the 4-axis controller RCX240 or RCX240S. As "eye" is put in the robot, the robot finds and takes workpiece, checks deviations in workpiece position, and makes correction if the workpiece deviates largely. This expands the range of applications. Up to two cameras and lights can be connected. Vision board connects directly to bus ■■Options • Lighting control board Multi-axis controller • Tracking board • CCD camera • LAN cable (Shielded cross-cable) • Camera cable • Lens •...

Product Lineup Easy for anyone to use, applicable to a wide variety of applications When the system was upgraded by combining the robot with a generally available image processing unit, it took a long time conventionally to adjust the robot controller and image processing unit, and perform the correction calculation. In YAMAHA "iVY system", the vision board is integrated into the robot controller and the functions are limited to the positioning and position correction so as to greatly simplify the operability. This makes the system incredibly easy to use when compared to conventional vision...

Dedicated software "iVY Studio" included The iVY system includes dedicated software "iVY Studio". All operations related to the vision, such as registration of fiducial marks used for the calibration or workpieces (edge setting, various parameter setting, and image capturing range setting, etc.), backup, restore, and operation monitor can be performed only with this software. Support software iVY Studio Search trial-run, part type registration Reference mark registration (for calibration) Up to 40 workpiece types can be registered. Workpiece can also be added easily. Up to 40 workpieces can...

Product Lineup Workpiece handling without teaching When the robot handles a workpiece, the teaching work to the correct position is absolutely required. If the workpiece position deviates, the correct handling cannot be performed. Use of iVY system makes it possible to detect the correct position through the image recognition after coarse positioning. The workpiece can be transferred without teaching, so the start-up steps are reduced and workpiece can be changed or added flexibly. Edge search engine with excellent stability The gray search (normalized correlation search) that was...

The robot program executes all vision controls including camera switching, image capturing, and workpiece search. Program creation is simple when compared to general vision systems since the operations from the robot movement to the camera control are performed consistently. Furthermore, the debug work can be performed efficiently to greatly reduce the total number of work steps. ■ Example of robot vision language iVY system MOVE P, P9 VSEARCH 1,2,0 -Searches for workpiece. MOVE P, P10 Moves to this point. • No communication time lag • Controllable only with the robot program. • Needs only...

Standard lens angle-of-view table Note. Field-of-view table for our standard lenses. As the field-of-view widens, distortion on image edges may increase. Viewing angle, WD, and magnification when using close-up ring 16mm lens [ML-1614] Notes • This table shows viewing angles when using the standard lens and close-up ring. (If no close-up ring this is closest approach.) • If not using a close-up ring, then a WD smaller than the value in this table cannot be used. • If using a close-up ring, then only a WD close to this value can be used. • The values in this table are at most only a...
