Software, developed in-house

The camera finds the part. The screen tells you why the cell stopped.

Two programs run every IROCUBE: IROVISION for seeing and checking parts, and System Manager for running the cell. Our own engineers write both.

IROVISION

Vision for picking, checking and reading parts

Built on the HALCON machine vision libraries, IROVISION handles parts of different geometry, material and finish, with far more tools than an off-the-shelf smart camera.

  • Fixture-free picking. Locates parts in any orientation and sends exact pick coordinates to the robot.
  • Fast part training. 2D matching, or training from CAD where it applies. New part, new model on the screen.
  • Inspection and verification. Checks critical features and defects inline.
  • Traceability. Reads markings and codes and logs the results.
IROVISION: draw the picking region and train the model

IROVISION quality control module

The same camera can check the part

Surface inspection

Scratches, cracks, stains and surface defects.

Dimensional measurement

Length, diameter, angles and distances.

Presence and absence

Hole or no hole, feature present or missing.

OCR and code reading

Barcodes, Data Matrix, serial numbers and symbols.

Thread and pitch

Thread count, pitch and spacing.

Matching

Finds and locates parts on the conveyor for the robot.

System Manager: cell status and production

System Manager

One web-based screen for the whole cell

Runs on the cell touchscreen and in any browser on your network, on any device. Every signal the cell exchanges with its PLC can be shown and controlled.

  • Live cell statusThe real-time state of every station on one screen.
  • Production dataOutput, OK/NOK counts, cycle times and OEE.
  • Fast downtime diagnosisThe cause of a stop is on screen the moment the cell stops. No walking the line.
  • Component life trackingOperating hours, cycles and replacements logged for planned maintenance.

System Manager is available as an option on IROCUBE Cell models.
