Companies team up to promote new vision

TM Robotics (Europe) has teamed up with Scorpion Vision to offer an industrial robot solution using Toshiba Machine SCARA robots, Sony Scorpion smart cameras and the Scorpion open software tool for industrial vision.

The new package will allow engineers in manufacturing industry to easily integrate their own automation and industrial vision applications.

"Machine vision has matured to a stage where it is now regarded as a fully integrated component. It makes the robot system much more flexible because you no longer have to train the robot in every move, instead it responds to the vision prompts," said Paul Wilson, a director of Scorpion. " The crux of the issue is that vision is no longer seen as a luxury for very high-end systems. We can now sell off-the-shelf solutions, even online. You can build a robot vision system for a few thousand pounds or less, making this very accessible technology."
