Cognex 2D Camera Calibration as 6-axis Robot Tool Automation

Abstract

In the present work, an algorithm for calibrating a 2D camera as a tool for a 6-axis robot is presented. The aim of the present development is to introduce a new, faster, precise, and more reliable way to calibrate a camera as a robot tool. From the proposed algorithm optimization of the time, it takes to calibrate the camera and start programming is achieved. The time is decreased by 80% and the accuracy and reliability of the system are increased.
