                • Engineering and Support
                • Training Application

          • Machine Vision

          • Product handling for randomly fed parts requires a recognition of the position and orientation of each single part. Depending on the application, vision sensors with integrated processor or networked cameras with centralized processor can be used.

            Demanding algorithms for inspection, sorting and grading require the recognition of additional product characteristics for each single part. Critical and validated applications in the medical, pharmaceutical or semiconductor industry may even require multiple inspections or advanced data matching with an external data base.

            VELTRU specifies a simple minimal standard interface for machine vision to allow integrating any vision system. This interface makes use of the existing calibration routines to determine the sensor location relative to the robot and to communicate product location and orientation on a conveyor belt.

                • V10 Vision

                • The VELTRU V10 Vision Connection is a tight integration for the Matrox Design Assistant, a flow chart based configuration tool for Matrox Machine Vision products. The V10 Vision Connection has been designed for integrating machine vision into VELTRU's robotics applications, but may as well be used as a stand-alone feature to integrate Matrox Machine Vision into the CODESYS PLC environment.

                  The V10 Vision Connection allows the communication of any parameter between the robot controllers and the machine vision system. For example the robot controller may trigger a capture on the camera. The results of the vision algorithm as position, orientation and quality features of products are sent back to the robot controller. It is also possible to communicate configuration parameters of the vision system. This allows to centralize the format parameters (recipe). The visualization of the robot application allows to incorporate live pictures of the vision system. The V10 Vision Connection allows controlling several cameras with one robot controller. It is also possible to connect several robot controller to one and the same vision system. The Ethernet communication is monitored and automatically reestablished, if needed.

                  For the calibration of the system the V10 Vision Connection and the C10 Application Templates offer all necessary functionalities and visualizations. The default parameters match the VELTRU Calibration Toolkit.

                  VELTRU V10 Vision includes a Matrox Iris GT* camera, the V10 Vision Connection and a Connection Box. The Matrox Iris GT* camera is available in various resolutions and with several sensors. The Connection Box considerably simplifies the wiring and optionally is available with integrated 12W LED strips, resulting in a very compact solution for standard applications. The PWM output of the Connection Box allows dimming additional VELTRU VL LED products.

            • Line Control & Simulation

                  • Line Control & Simulation

                  • Simulation
                    对于单个细胞的应用程序,主要的焦点是typically on handling issues and robot motion; however, more complex, for example multi-robot, integration tend to have logistics as the key feature. VELTRU offers the possibility to simulate the flow of products in multi-robot systems using real control code and making use of the on-board visualization elements. This approach allows to transfer any algorithms and functionality used for simulation into the project.

                    Multi-Robot System Concepts
                    快速处理设备通常用于工艺where volumes cannot be handled by one robot only. The product architecture of VELTRU has multi-robot systems in mind. Our customers may download the corresponding Application Notes describing further technical details from our FTP. VELTRU is able to offer its customer access to all three major concepts for multi-robot lines:

                    Assortment configuration
                    The assortment is where several different products are combined into one packaging, common for chocolate and confectionery applications. Each product is fed on an individual conveyor, perpendicular to the conveyor for the packaging.

                    Parallel flow configuration
                    In systems with one product type only, the products and the packaging are transported in parallel direction. If moving into the same direction, the last robot will have few products to fit into few cavities of the packaging. This typically leads to errors such as products not being packaged and packaging not getting completely filled. VELTRU is offering a concept allowing to disconnect the speed of the respective conveyors and thus to overcome the mentioned problems.

                    Counterflow configuration
                    An alternative method is using the counterflow principle, running the products and packaging in opposite direction. VELTRU is able to support this proven and robust concept.

              • Robot Peripherals

                  • Rotary Feed Throughs

                  • The performance of most Delta robot applications is limited by the handling of the product. An optimized pneumatic system is key for allowing maximizing the system performance. VELTRU is offering a range of rotary feed throughs and is happy to adapt to project specific needs, if necessary. The range covers systems with external vacuum generation from low volume and high vacuum level to systems with high air flow. It also includes a range of ejector based system allowing to generate the vacuum within the rotary feed through. Special options are available for hygienic applications, like handling perishable food.

                    VELTRU is also offering ultra-flexible, lightweight vacuum tubings with large cross-section for high volume flow applications. Pneumatic quick connectors and brackets standardize the mounting on the robotic arm.

                • Applications

                    • Twin Cell loading flowpack

                    • Twin Cell distribution system feeding products to a flowpack. The robots make use of a shared workrange, which is dynamically allocated to avoid mechanical collisions. The 'cell overview' HMI page in the middle of the Video shows the reserved areas in red.

                    • Twin Robot Cell with Double Pick

                    • Twin robot cell loading a flowpack machine. Both VELTRU D12H robots are using double pick gripper, allowing to pick two individual products per cycle. The robot software ensures the second pick with one product already on the gripper does not lead to collisions with products still on the conveyor.

                    • Hygienic Ejectors

                    • The hygienic ejectors allow creating vacuum with pressurized air. Any contamination with the product will remain locally, at the gripper head. The large crosssections help avoiding clogging.

                    • Stacking Products

                    • Handling application examples stacking products directly on the gripper.

                    • Distribution System Simulation

                    • Two robot distribution system. The system uses overlapping workranges of the robots on the outfeed chain.

                    • Flow Wrapper Loading

                    • A D8 Delta Robot is loading Oreo biscuits into a flow wrapper infeed chain. The products are located using machine vision and handled pneumatically with a suction cup.

                    • Pepper Loading

                    • Calibrated peppers are located using vision system and loaded into boxes and totes using suction cups.

                    • Random Sample Quality Inspection

                    • Random samples of medical devices are located by a vision system and fed to a turntable using a VELTRU D8 Delta Robot. Multiple sensors inspect the devices for quality defects. A two axis mechanism retrieves the tested parts and deposits them according to the quality information gathered. The entire logistics of the application is handled by VELTRU and demonstrates the possibilities of the Queue Module.

                    • 5 Robot Counterflow System

                    • A production process is feeding 1160 products per minutes on carriers. 5 VELTRU D8 Delta robots share the load to place the products for carton sleeving, picking the products with a double head with pneumatic suction cups. The robot line allows to change over to different packaging styles without any hardware change.

                      The VELTRU L10 Line Control allows to balance the workload of the robots and to operate the system from a central control panel.
