Application: Pick and Place
Robotics have been implemented in factory automation for applications such as assembly and pick/place operations, boosting accuracy, productivity and cost-effectiveness. Without vision guidance, however, considerable teaching time and tooling expense are required to guarantee correct, accurate, and speedy function, but the system can also lack the flexibility to meet a full range of production demands.
High resolution and frame rates delivered by vision guidance systems provide enhanced accuracy and speed. Robotics integrating image processing such as pattern matching can acquire necessary object position and orientation. ADLINK's NEON-1040 x86 smart camera provides high performance imaging capability, global shutter sensor, frame rates up to 60 fps and up to 4 MP resolution with Intel® quad-core Atom processor.
ADLINK Solution: NEON-1040: Intel® Atom™ Quad-Core Processor E3845 1.9 GHz-Based Smart Camera with 4MP, 60fps, Global Shutter Sensor
ADLINK' s new generation x86 NEON-1040 features 4MP 60fps global shutter sensor and the Intel® Atom™ quad core 1.9 GHz processor, with minimal footprint and rugged IP67-rated construction. The quad core CPU increases computing power and FPGA coprocessors and GPU deliver advanced image processing, both beyond the capabilities of conventional smart cameras. Rich software support and API compatibility enable easy migration from original x86 platforms, eliminating software and development language burdens across the platform, reducing time to market.
