Robotic Alignment Software Increases Speed, Accuracy

April 22, 2022
ABB's new offering requires minimal programming experience.

The High Speed Alignment software offers manufacturers the ability to increase the speed of 6-axis robots by 70% and accuracy by 50%, which will reduce time-to-market while increasing accuracy levels.

The PC-based software includes Visual Serving technology using one or more cameras, combined with a computer vision system, to control the position of the robot relative to the workpiece. As the robot is moving, the cameras continuously capture image information that the computer vision system processes to cross-check and adjust the robotic movements to deliver 0.01 to 0.02 mm precision.

Along with effortless commissioning and tuning, system integrators and manufacturers can benefit from a reduction in deployment time—down from an entire shift of eight to just one hour. Minimal programming experience is required, as the software is easy-to-use and has an intuitive user interface.
