Intelligent solutions
Epson Smart Cameras have an
integrated Machine Vision processor
and are therefore separated from
the robot controller. They can be
used as stand-alone cameras or in
a network of several cameras. You
can expand the system any time.
Integrated calibration wizards allow fast and
easy calibration — with no special tools or
diffi cult training.
Features & advantages
• High-speed communication
between robot and Machine
Vision within milliseconds
• Shorter development time due to
integration into RC+ development
environment
• Easy and comfortable drag-and-
drop programming without
additional complicated editors
• Finding of parts even in varying
light conditions thanks to different
tools such as Blob Analysis,
Geometric and Polar Search and
many more
Specifi cations
With the „Geometric Object“ software tool ob-
jects are detected faster and more reliably than
with conventional pattern or edge detection.
Commands are selected from a well-arranged
library which further processes the robot position.
There is no complicated, slow and error-prone
linking of several command sequences.

EPSON RC180
Tolerances are becoming smaller. That's why you
need a powerful vision system which reliably detects
and positions parts even in case of manufacturing
deviations or part changes. At Epson, we have the
hardware and software you need — perfectly adapted
to each other. That is the integration you need for
high productivity!
The innovative vision control system
Epson Smart Vision
The Epson Vision Guide 5.0 is not just the connection between Machine
Vision and RC180. It is closely integrated into the Epson RC+ development
environment so that setup times are considerably shortened and vision
sequences can be created with a few mouse clicks.
Thanks to the common programming environment, no time is wasted
connecting robot and vision system. Easy commands and the intuitive
interface with graphic objects allow completing the tasks of fl exible
automation by means of simple parametrisation.
Permanently installed and mobile, with different resolu-
tions, with lenses of different focal lengths, integrated
or with remote lens system — Epson Smart Cameras
really leave nothing to be desired. No matter which
one you choose, combined with the Epson Vision
Guide 5.0 software you can only make the right choice
to quickly and easily realise complex machine vision-
assisted applications.
