1. General Presentation
The terms " Camera" and " Wrist Camera" used in the following manual all refer to the RobotiqWrist Camera, while the terms " Vision"
and " Vision System" used in the following manual all refer to the RobotiqWrist Camera Vision System for Universal Robots.
The Vision System uses the RobotiqWrist Camera and the Camera Locate software on Universal Robots to provide you with a simple
object teaching interface.
The interface allows to set up the Vision system so it can recognize object locations and orientations automatically. It locates one object
at a time on a predefined workplane, gets the object position (x, y) and orientation along the z-axis, and allows to operate the robot
according to the object location. The Wrist Camera is designed for industrial applications in combination with Robotiq adaptive
grippers.
Info
This manual uses the metric system. Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions are in millimeters.
