Description

1

Vision and Detection Area

  • Detected vision parts with graph: how many components were detected in the current image and the trend over time (30s).

2

Operating Status

  • In run: indicator light showing whether the system is running or stopped.

  • In run time: chronometer indicating total system uptime.

3

Controls and Selection

  • FlexiBowl® drop-down menu: allows you to select the FlexiBowl® device you wish to operate on.

  • Test Locator: starts cyclic movements of FlexiBowl® and hopper as long as there are components in the vision area.

Connection Status

  • FlexiBowl®: indicates the status of the real-time connection with the FlexiBowl®.

  • Robot: indicates the status of the real-time connection with the robot.

5

Timings Analysis

  • Camera/Locator processing time: individual image shot and component identification timing.

  • Total vision processing time: sum of camera and locator times.

  • Total FlexiBowl® / Robot time: time for a FB movement sequence and a single robot pick & place.

  • Total processing time: total process time (Vision + FB + Robot).

  • Fill hopper: log of discharges from the hopper onto the FlexiBowl® disc.

  • Vision - FlexiBowl® - Robot: comparative graph of the three functions to understand the impact of each individual process on the total time.

6

Performance Graphs and Log

  • List of detected models: table with co-ordinates (X, Y), rotation (Rot) of the component and the Score (degree of similarity of the identified object compared to the reference model).

  • Parts per minute: graph of average parts picked per minute.
