Motion blending and six vision coordinates — pick and place cycle comparison

Pick and place production speed is not determined by the robot's maximum speed alone. Under the same working conditions we compared three operating methods — no motion blending with a single coordinate received, motion blending with a single coordinate received, and motion blending with six vision coordinates received at once.

Receiving the coordinates in advance reduces unnecessary stops, camera triggers and communication waiting time. That is why the flexible feeder, the vision system and robot motion have to be optimized together rather than separately.
