TM Robotics has formed a partnership with Italian vision specialist Tattile to provide a complete robot vision solution. The partnership will mean that end users and integrators of Toshiba Machine industrial robots, provided by TM Robotics, will have the option of using Tattile's proprietary vision processors, cameras and software as part of a single integrated whole.
The vision systems provided by Tattile offer plug-and-play functionality and connectivity with the entire range of Toshiba Machine Scara, Cartesian and six-axis robots. Robot programming is conducted via a series of dedicated commands.
Toshiba Machine's newest range of controllers, the TS3000 and TS3100, offer Ethernet connectivity, which makes it simple to share vision from a single camera across multiple robots, reducing maintenance overheads and installation costs while increasing efficiency. Tattile designs and manufactures digital cameras, embedded vision systems and intelligent cameras for industrial, security, traffic and railway applications.
The company specialises in Giga Ethernet cameras, with nearly 20 models available. These include monochrome and colour options, with in-camera image pre-processing (FPGA) and jpeg compression as options. Tattile also manufactures a line of smart cameras (XP EmbeddedR) and embedded analyser systems.
