Powerful Solutions at a Value Price
EPSON Smart Cameras provide powerful integrated vision solutions at a value price. Built to work with the low cost EPSON Micro PowerDrive controller, now you can have an easy to use, fully integrated vision solution combined with the power and reliability of EPSON Robots all at an unbelievable price. Best of all, the new EPSON Smart Cameras utilize the industry leading ease of use of our Vision Guide software to ensure that your development time is kept at a minimum while still providing all the robust features expected of an advanced robot guidance vision system today.

With tolerances becoming tighter, many robotic applications need a solid vision solution to place parts reliably due to part variation, feeding limitations, tooling and many other issues. The tight integration of EPSON Smart Cameras with the EPSON RC170 controller through our EPSON RC+ controls platform provides a development environment that is both easy to learn/use yet packed with the powerful features required for even the most demanding vision guidance applications. Built in calibration wizards for mobile, upward, downward, and fixed cameras allow for fast and easy robot to camera calibration without special tools or even special training. Just follow the instructions in the wizard and you are ready to begin finding and placing parts. In addition, vision tools such as Normalized Correlation, Geometric Search, Blob, Polar Search, Edge Finder, Lines, Points, Image Processing, Histogram and a whole lot more provide the power to find parts even under the most difficult of conditions such as poor lighting or noisy environments.

Reduce Development Time with True Robot/Vision Integration
As with all EPSON integrated options, EPSON Smart Cameras are more than just a simple connection to the RC170 controller. All EPSON Smart Cameras are integrated into the industry leading EPSON RC+ development environment and provide true Robot/Vision Integration. A point and click interface is provided for building Vision Sequence solutions so that development time is now reduced to hours instead of weeks. No time is wasted putting together code to make the robot and vision system communicate and there is no need to learn 2 separate environments and languages (vision environment/language + robot environment/language). In fact Vision Guide has only 3 language commands VGET, VSET and VRUN. This is due to the highly graphical vision object based development environment and point and click Vision Guide interface. With EPSON Smart Cameras, Vision Guide software and EPSON Robots you can:

• Solve complex Robot Guidance Applications Quickly and Easily
• Improve ROI with Increased Yields
• Reduce Development Time with Simplified Vision Guidance Solutions
• Use Fixed or Mobile Arm Mounted Cameras (Easily Calibrated with Vision Guide Calibration Wizards)
• Find parts even in difficult conditions such as poor lighting or noisy environments
• Work with smaller or varying parts to achieve tight tolerance requirements
• Integrate with .NET to provide powerful GUI based End User Systems
