Product Descriptions
AdeptVision
AdeptVision is a combination hardware and software package for integrated
machine vision inspection and guidance applications. The hardware is based on
the features of the AdeptVision board (EVI). AdeptVision requires a graphical
user interface, which may be either the Adept Graphics board (VGB) or the
AdeptWindowsPC interface. See the for details.
AdeptVision is a high-resolution, grayscale vision system based on Adept’s
multitasking V
+
language and operating system. V
+
is a high-level language with
extensive vision tools for vision-related operations such as calibration, image
capture, enhancement, and analysis. AIM VisionWare software is included with
the AdeptVision stand-alone product bundles. See the for
details.
AdeptMotion VME
AdeptMotion VME is a combination hardware and software package for motion
control of both simple and complex non-Adept robots and other factory
mechanisms. The hardware consists of an Adept controller with one or several
AdeptMotion Interface boards (MI3/MI6) installed. The AdeptMotion VME
control software runs on the V
+
operating system. This product can be integrated
into an Adept automation system with additional features such as vision
guidance and inspection, conveyor tracking, and AIM software.
AdeptForce VME
AdeptForce is a hardware and software package that allows Adept-controlled
robots to react to sensed forces and moments. Tight integration of the force sensor
with the robot control system dramatically reduces robot stopping time when
forces or moments exceed preset thresholds. As a result, assembly operations can
be performed at higher speeds than are possible with other force-sensing units.
The hardware consists of an AdeptForce VME board (VFI) installed in the Adept
MV controller and the force-sensing unit installed on the robot. See the
for details.
