THE 3DV/600 VISION SENSOR
FANUC
Fanuc launches new 3d vision sensor with extended field of vision
FANUC has expanded its range of
integrated image processing solutions with
the introduction of the 3DV/600 Vision
Sensor.
The new sensor benefits from an extended
field of vision in comparison to other models
in the range, and is designed for use in
multiple applications, including bin picking,
feeding an assembly line, or stacking
pallets. Complete with the 2D Camera
Package, 3D Laser Sensor and 3D Area
Sensor, the 3DV/600 forms part of a highlyintegrated,
high-performance portfolio for
industrial image processing.
Andy Armstrong, Sales and Marketing
Manager at FANUC UK, comments: “The
3DV/600 is a practical and user-friendly
addition to the range, capable of being fitted
permanently into a system, or temporarily
on the last axis of a robot. The other models
in the 3DV series have proved hugely
popular, and by expanding its field of vision,
we’ve ensured the 3DV/600 can deliver the
high levels of performance demanded by
ambitious manufacturers.”
Its high level of integration and very short
image processing ensures that the 3DV/600
can be combined with the iRPickTool for use
on a conveyor belt, able to pick up items
even if they are irregular-shaped or have no
clearly defined pick-up point.
The 3DV/600 is pre-calibrated, which
makes installation as straightforward as
possible. After the sensor is installed, the
robot simply has to identify the position of
its ‘eyes’, and a setup-wizard supports and
guides you through the necessary settings.
Furthermore, no interface development is
needed, as the FANUC 3D Sensor support
is fully integrated into the robot software.
Andy continues: “By fully integrating the
3DV/600 Vision Sensor, a huge amount of
time is saved at both the installation and
image capturing stage. The 3D-Snap-in-
Motion function allows the robot to trigger
the snapping of an image while in motion,
which saves a lot of time and is something
a non-integrated vision system would be
unable to do.”
The 3DV/600 has been
designed with the user
in mind, designed to
ensure it is as intuitive as
possible.
As with other sensors in the range, the
3DV/600 is equipped with blue LED lighting
as standard and connected with a single
cable – which reduces clutter and makes
maintenance much easier for the end-user.
Andy concludes: “The 3DV/600 has been
designed with the user in mind, designed
to ensure it is as intuitive as possible. It’s
integration and expanded field of vision
make it an ideal addition to a range of
FANUC robots.”
