2D VGR series - 2D Vision-Guided Robotics

2D vision-guided robotics hardware from KEYENCE has become the global standard when equipping robots for pick & place and grip correction applications. A simplified robot vision interface paired with KEYENCE provided robot programs allows for seamless connection to all major robot manufacturers, including one-click auto-calibration. With industry leading imaging technology and highly-accurate pattern detection tools, these systems are well suited to solve any 2D guidance application.

Features

Bright, Uniform Illumination Even Over a Wide Field of View

With a wider field of view, brightness can be uneven with a noticeable difference in intensity between the center and the edges of the screen.
Advanced imaging technologies such as overdrive lighting with high intensity smart ring illumination and HDR capturing help to minimize such differences even with a wide field of view.

Before

After

Support for Multiple Pallets and Tooling Changeover

ZoomTrax automatically changes the field of view to suit the size of the target, and automatic focusing makes it possible to handle pallets with different heights, allowing for usability in a wide variety of production environments without changing lenses.

Optimal Hardware for On-Hand Picking

A wider range of on-hand applications is possible thanks to on-robot PoE connectivity, IP67 environmental resistance, and a lightweight C-mount design.

  • 1
    Connects to internal wiring, which prevents cable breakage
  • 2
    Robust IP67 enclosure rating
  • 3
    Lightweight C-mount design option

Outstanding Compatibility With a Wide Variety of Robot Manufacturers

Support for a Wide Variety of Robot Manufacturers

Directly connect to standard robot controllers by selecting the manufacturer name from a list of common robot manufacturers. Take advantage of a single interface for setting up vision-guided robotics even when using different robots for different processes.

Fast and Accurate Calibration for All Users
Auto-Calibration

Time-consuming calibration can be automatically completed with a single click, ensuring the same accuracy and startup stability for all users.

Before

Conventional problems

  • Accuracy varies between operators
  • Difficult to readjust for installation misalignment
  • Difficult to reproduce the image in different installation locations due to variations in ambient conditions

After

Solutions provided with KEYENCE vision-guided robotics

  • High accuracy regardless of operator
  • Quick calibration to fix issues caused by misalignment
  • Easy operation with a single click jogging robot to all required locations

Simplified Robot Operation Support

Robot programs can be created automatically and easily by specifying the operation flow.

Easy configuration just by choosing the desired robot operation.

Robot manufacturer–specific programming languages.

Powerful Search Tools for Impressive Performance, Speed, and Accuracy
