These cameras enable your robot arm to identify and grab items on its own, without needing you to neatly arrange workpieces in advance. The included software makes them easy to set up and integrate with your FANUC CRX robot—letting you use a graphical interface to calibrate the camera and incorporate machine vision into your robot program. Cameras operate in grayscale 2D. They work best when there is high contrast between the parts and their background, when parts are stationary and uniformly shaped, and when items aren’t stacked or overlapping one another. Add lighting to create more contrast between your workpiece and your work surface.

Mount these cameras to the end of your robot arm. Using the included 10-in. cord, they connect directly to the arm’s built-in port, so there is no cable management to worry about. These cameras can also be mounted overhead or to nearby fixtures—a good option when grabbing larger workpieces or when prioritizing speed, letting the camera take an image of your workpiece while the robot is finishing its previous cycle. For this option, connect the camera to the controller using the included 18-ft. cord.
