All the logic required to integrate a VE Series smart camera into a VGR system is in the software. The Perspective Correction mode allows users to override the native coordinate system of the camera. In just a few simple steps users can adjust camera coordinates to match the coordinate system of the robot, eliminating the need for and expense of a PLC to translate coordinate systems.

The Perspective Correction mode can be used to correct the distortions in perspective that occur when the camera is not perpendicular to the target. Applying real world coordinates to the camera’s coordinate system ensures that tool distance and area values are accurate for each inspection. This makes it even easier to use VE smart cameras in applications where equipment and/or infrastructure complicate deployment.

The Webserver Image Viewing capability provides users with tremendous flexibility in monitoring an application. Inspection images can be viewed in real time using a web-enabled tablet, PC, HMI, or similar device on the same network as the camera. Staff can quickly identify and diagnose application issues from a convenient location.
