Simplified connectivity to Cognex vision sensors, MELFA-Vision Provides ultimate ease of use!Simplified connectivity to Cognex vision sensors, MELFA-Vision Provides ultimate ease of use!

A network vision sensor is an optional function that adds vision to a robot. Having "vision," robots can discriminate works to find those that require processing. Accordingly, robots equipped with a network vision sensor can perform various functions, such as transferring, processing, assembling, inspecting and measuring.

•Standard job programs supporting various types of operations are provided. Using these programs, even a first-time users can design vision sensor systems with ease.MELFA-Vision software is the only tool needed to easily and quickly customize vision applications. We have also developed original commands for network vision sensors to further simplify creation of required programs.

•You can be made easy to customize job by using dedicated software.

What Is Network Vision Sensor?

Features

Specifications/Functions

Though a joint development with Cognex, we have significantly improved the function and performance of our vision capabilities. With these user-friendly sensors, any one can create vision sensor applications with ease!

(COGNEX provided by customer)

MELFA-Vision software

1) “Network vision support software MELFA-Vision”[1] MELFA-Vision is the only application required to set up vision sensors and

robot controllers. [2] Easy calibration function that supports various camera installation positions. [3] Log function that allows the user to check sensor images at error occurrences

on a personal computer.

2) Network vision templates (job library)Templates (job library) supporting pattern matching, blob and color functions are ready to use.

3) Enhanced position detection functionHigh-speed image processing function can detect moving parts, including those rotated 360˚, at high speed.

4) Ethernet® connection interface[1] Up to seven vision sensors can be controlled with a single robot

controller. [2] One vision sensor can be controlled from up to three robot controllers.[3] All robot controllers and vision sensors can be debugged on a single

personal computer.

5) Dedicated commands for network vision sensors (MELFA-BASIC IV)[1] NVOPEN : Provides a set of commands integrating various vision

sensor steps, such as logging in to the vision sensor system[2] NVPST : Provides a set of operation commands for starting a vision

program, acquiring processing results, and more.

• Network vision sensor unit specifications (COGNEX) • Lineup of network vision sensors (COGNEX)

•Easy setup • Easy setup using MELFA-Vision software.• Easy programming using dedicated robot language commands. • Robots can be monitored remotely through Ethernet® communication to report image status.

•System cost reduction through shared use of vision sensors Three robots and seven vision sensors can be combined into one system via Ethernet® connection.

•Extended variations available• Standard and high-speed processing models• High-resolution, color, and remote-head camera models MODEL 3D-51C-WINE

3D-51C-WINE -Model Type Remarks

MELFA-Vision software

*2) High-resolution, color and remote-head camera models correspond from Version1.1 of MELFA-Vision.

*3) These performance values do not consider image capture speed (communication time).*4) The image capture speed is based on an exposure time of 8 ms and full image frame

capture. *5) A lens cover (supplied with the sensor) conforming to the protection specifications under

the NEMA standards is required.*6) One high-speed output is used for the flash. *7) I/O and Ethernet cables: The maximum bending radius is 38 mm.*8) The maximum operating temperature of the remote head is possible for 5400R up to 50˚C.
