PROCESSING FLOW

Robot Vision Processing Flow — Trigger to Pick Verification

From capture trigger to robot pick — a practical breakdown of the AimFactoryCore vision and robot operation cycle as operators see it on the factory floor.

OPERATION

How vision operates inside AimFactoryCore

AimFactoryCore bundles setup, operation, and verification in one continuous cycle.

01

Camera & Lighting Setup

Exposure, gain, white balance, and lighting timing are configured per model inside the Recipe. No manual adjustments on model change.

02

ROI Definition

Vision area, exclusion zones, and pick target regions are defined per model. Only the relevant area is processed each cycle.

03

Pattern Learning

Target part appearance is trained with sample images. Rotation, scale, and partial occlusion tolerance are built in.

04

Pose Estimation

Position (X/Y) and rotation angle (θ) are computed per candidate. Pick feasibility ranking is applied automatically.

05

Coordinate Calibration

Image coordinates are converted to robot coordinate space using 9-pose calibration. Residual verification ensures ±0.05 mm accuracy.

06

Result Output

Pick coordinates, trigger signals, and status flags are delivered to the robot and PLC via TCP/IP or IO in one standard format.

SCENARIO

What happens in one cycle

From one trigger in to pick verification complete — 5 stages as seen from the factory floor.

  1. 1

    TRIGGER

    The line sends a "capture now" signal to vision

    When the PLC or robot controller issues a capture trigger, AimFactoryCore vision captures a single frame.

  2. 2

    RECOGNITION

    Vision locates the part and calculates its pose

    Within the ROI, position, rotation angle, and pick candidates are computed in one cycle.

  3. 3

    TRANSFORM

    Image coordinates are converted to robot coordinates

    Calibration data converts X/Y/θ coordinates to mm units the robot accepts directly.

  4. 4

    DELIVERY

    AimFactoryCore sends coordinates to the robot

    Whether TCP/IP or IO, coordinates, triggers, and sequences are organized via a standard interface and delivered.

  5. 5

    VERIFICATION

    Vision re-checks the pick result

    Vision verifies pick feasibility and actual pickup status, then either advances to the next cycle or triggers recovery.
