Warning
Mandatory network requirements
The Gigabit Ethernet interface is mandatory and requires compatible network infrastructure, Gigabit Ethernet switch and Ethernet cables of at least Cat6 or Cat7 with S/STP shielding.
Failure to comply with this requirement completely compromises camera operation. Verify that all network components, cables, switches, and ports, support the GigE standard.
Power supply methods#
Method |
Description |
Requirements |
|---|---|---|
PoE |
Power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Consumption |
Requires a compatible PoE injector or PoE switch, |
External Camera Cable Supplied in the Kit |
External DC power through 6-pin Hirose connector, |
A separate Ethernet cable is still required for data |
Tip
Which method to choose
PoE: ideal for clean installations with a single cable, but requires dedicated network hardware
External power supply: the most flexible standard solution, recommended for most applications

Laser Tool for Calibration#
The Laser Tool is an advanced calibration solution that improves the precision with which the robot reference point is saved. Its main advantage is that it does not require physical contact with the calibration grid. By working as a high-precision pointer, the laser allows the operator to align the target point visually and repeatably on the grid, offering much greater accuracy than a physical tip tool. This precision is essential for successful calibration and fits perfectly with the repeatability guaranteed by the ARS dedicated calibration grid.
Feature |
Laser Tool |
Standard Tip Tool |
|---|---|---|
Reference Method |
Non-contact, visual pointer |
Contact, physical mechanical tip |
Reference Precision |
Maximum precision, the operator aligns the point visually with high accuracy |
Medium, dependent on operator visibility |
Ease of Use |
Simplifies the visual alignment procedure |
Requires more attention in positioning and avoiding tilt |
Key Advantage |
Makes it possible to save the robot reference point with the highest possible fidelity, essential for final picking accuracy |
Basic method, but less precise than the laser |

Important
To replace the two batteries of the laser tool, follow the dedicated maintenance procedure.
Recommendation
Using the Laser Tool together with the ARS dedicated calibration grid is the most robust and precise method for FlexiVision One system installation.
Calibration Grid#
Excellent calibration is the fundamental requirement for FlexiVision One system accuracy. Only high-precision calibration guarantees that the coordinates detected by the camera, in pixels, are converted accurately into real robot coordinates, in millimeters, ensuring success of the picking application.
