You may also need to edit the Acquisition Settings to get the best image. Using the Calibration Grid A pdf of the dot grid, used for camera calibration, is located in your Omron folder under Pro- gram Files. Use the file DotPitch10_CalibrationTarget.pdf in the ACE folder. - Page 33 Chapter 5: Configuration with ACE Software Figure 5-3. Grid Calibration Screen Shot AnyFeeder Integration Guide - Page 33...
- Page 34 Chapter 5: Configuration with ACE Software Locator Model In creating your Locator Model(s), ensure that you leave room for the part and tool flange/- gripper to clear the walls of the AnyFeeder. The gripper shape, placement of the pick point on the part, and the region of interest can all affect this.
- Page 35 Chapter 5: Configuration with ACE Software Create Region of Interest The Locator Model creation is followed by creating a region of interest, where the software will look for instances of the Model. The green box shown in the following picture can be adjusted. This step is critical, since the robot should be able to pick any part inside this region.

Chapter 5: Configuration with ACE Software typically the position error will be less than 1 mm. The valid scale factor range is from 0.92 to 1.08 mm. Figure 5-6. Summary of Automatic Calibration Teach Vision Histogram Tool The next step is to set up the histogram tool for the application. You can divide the vision win- dow into three boxes corresponding to three zones: Dispense Zone, Flip Zone, and Front Zone. -
Page 37: Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning
Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning 6.1 Configuration Refinement At this point, the system will be able to recognize the Locator Model taught during the wizard and perform automated pick and place. Most applications can be improved by adjusting para- meters that aren’t covered in the sample application wizard. This could include advanced properties of the vision tools, differentiating between multiple part types, sorting to multiple place locations, avoiding picking overlapping parts, or detecting part defects. - Page 38 Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning Figure 6-1. Dual Locator Models In the Workspace Explorer – e-Series Controller 60 – V+ User Modules – a.feed folder, you can pull up the V+ program related to AnyFeeder motion sequence. The fd.main() under the a.feed folder is the program that tied the ACE Sight histogram Tool to the AnyFeeder motion sequence.

- Page 40 Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning Figure 6-2. Pop-up Window for Variable The motion sequence 1000 – 1003 is configured corresponding to the AnyFeeder movement. In the default setting, the fd.ms.frontmove is tied to motion sequence 1000 and by double-clicking the AnyFeeder module under Workspace Explorer – ACE Sight Pick and Place – Pick - Any- feeder and click the motion sequence button, as shown in the following graphic, the output 1000 is tied to Feed backward [5, 5] + Wait [200].
- Page 41 Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning Figure 6-3. AnyFeeder Motion Sequence Parameters You can get access to all of the Standard Controls that are provided by the AnyFeeder Object window by clicking the Standard Controls button and by adjusting the values for Iterations and Speed.
- Page 42 Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning Figure 6-4. Standard Controls As an example, we will use the dental floss motion sequence 1002. Initially, the motion sequence 1002 is tied to Dispense [5, 5] and Wait [200], but if the AnyFeeder vision window shows most of the parts overlapping each other, or most of the parts presented only in the dis- pense zone, you can try adding flip forward or flip.
- Page 43 Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning Figure 6-5. Front, Flip, and Dispense Zones In Properties, we set ThresholdBlack and ThresholdWhite to 0 and 130, specifying the gray- scale range (0-255) the system will look for. These are explained at the bottom of the window. Typically, you could zoom in on the image and check what gray scale range would cover 90% of the part.

Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning With a dark background, you will want to adjust the setting for ThresholdBlack and Threshold- White. By triggering the motion sequence 1000 – 1003, you can test how the parts will dispense inside the three zones when different motion sequences are triggered. From the fd.main() program, in the four cases related to triggering motion sequence 1000 –... - Page 45 Chapter 6: Fine-Tuning Figure 6-8. Gripper Clearance Tool Remember to tie the ACE Sight sequence to the Vision Tools of your selection. (Previously we simply tied the ACE Sight sequence to the Locator.) When adding customized vision tools, you must also modify the fd.main() and rob.pick() programs related to VRESULT and VLOCATION.
