Part Presentation How is the target being presented to the camera? Speed Consistency in positioning

Cycle Time - Indexed Indexed Motion = Start – Stop – Start - Stop Measured in parts per minute or parts per second Typically slower that continuous motion Needed information Index speed

Cycle Time - Indexed Needed Information 1 minute 60 seconds 60 seconds Index speed = 100 part per Minute 1 minute 60 seconds 60 seconds X = = 100 parts 1 minute 100 parts 60 seconds = 0.60 seconds per part 100 parts

Cycle Time - Continuous Continuous = Constant speed Measured in meters per second, meters per minute, centimeters per minute, centimeters per second Needed information Part speed Part spacing (leading edge to leading edge)

Cycle Time - Continuous Needed Information Part speed = 1 meter per second Part spacing = 0.25 meters 0.25 meters 1 second 0.25 seconds X = = 1 part 1 meter 1 part 0.25 seconds = 0.25 seconds per part 1 part

Part Presentation Tolerance X, Y and ϴ Movement ϴ Effects FOV size May need Location Tools Y Z Movement Limited by Focal Depth Effects measurement perspective X Z Focal Length = Focal Depth Focal Length = Focal Depth

Best Bad and Worst Good Worst Good Best Bad Part barely passes expectations Best Bad Part barely fails expectations

Describes the parts that Pass and Fail The customer saying I want the part to look like this is too subjective Look for the pain point Avoid application creep Manage expectations

Camera Trigger and Part Rejection Part Rejection Method How do you plan to eject part? Solenoid Indicator Light PLC input Camera Triggering Source How are you going to tell the camera to capture and image? Photo eye Proximity sensor Encoder PLC HMI Push button This can effect your target presentation tolerance

Vision Sensor Mounting FOV Determined by Working Distance Lens Focal Length WD Determined by Field of View Size Lens Focal Length
