2D Smart Vision Kit for Fairino
A Cobot can only reliably respond to different workpieces if it knows what is in front of it and where the object is located. This is precisely where the 2D Smart Vision Kit for Fairino comes into play.
The kit combines a powerful ifm O2D502 2D Object Detection Sensor with the appropriate power and data cables for easy integration into Fairino Cobots. Instead of selecting individual components and checking their compatibility, you receive a coordinated vision solution that significantly simplifies the entry into camera-based robotic applications.
This enables the automation of manual inspection and sorting tasks, reliable recognition of workpieces, and more flexible robot processes.
What Problems Does the Smart Vision Kit Solve?
Without image processing, a robot usually requires defined positions and reproducible conditions. For example, if a workpiece is not exactly at the expected location, the robot cannot reliably grasp it.
With the 2D Smart Vision Kit, the robot can capture its environment and utilize recognized objects for the automation process. This solution is suitable for:
Detecting and locating workpieces
Pick & Place from varying positions
Presence and completeness checks
Contour and area control
Sorting and classifying components
Identifying component features
Flexible feeding and assembly
Automated quality control
Designed for Fairino Cobots
The kit is specifically designed for use with Fairino Cobots. The included power and data cables are tailored for integration and allow for quick commissioning without extensive selection of individual connection components.
This reduces integration effort and makes the kit particularly attractive for system integrators, machine builders, and companies looking to implement initial vision applications with a Cobot.
Powerful 2D Image Processing
The core of the kit is the ifm O2D502 2D Object Detection Sensor. With a resolution of 1280 × 960 pixels, a frame rate of up to 40 Hz, and integrated RGBW lighting, it enables reliable inspections even under changing environmental conditions.
Contours and areas can be evaluated in combination. The electrical focusing allows for flexible adjustment to different working distances. An integrated polarizing filter further supports detection on demanding and reflective surfaces.
From Vision to Robot Movement
The Smart Vision Kit is not just a camera, but the foundation for visually supported robotics. Recognized objects and their features can be integrated into automated processes, for example, to determine pick positions or make inspection decisions.
Through Ethernet and TCP/IP or EtherNet/IP, the sensor can be integrated into industrial automation environments. This system is suitable for both simple Cobot applications and more demanding automation solutions.
Quick Start Instead of Complex Component Selection
Selecting a suitable camera, power supply, and connection technology can quickly lead to additional engineering effort in a vision application. The 2D Smart Vision Kit consolidates the essential components into a coordinated solution.
This allows you to focus on the actual application: Recognize workpieces, determine positions, automate processes, and increase the productivity of your Fairino application.
