Adding a vision system to our industrial robots

Adding a vision system to a Toshiba Machine industrial robot is a simple and cost effective way to build on its already impressive functionality and versatility. Our SCARA, six axis and Cartesian machines can be used with almost any vision software or cameras and there are installed examples across Europe using equipment from the majority of the major vision suppliers.

Seamless vision integration
TM Robotics’ partnership with Italian vision specialist Tattile srl means it can provide a complete robot and vision solution to its customers across Europe and the globe. Reflecting Toshiba Machine’s easy-use robot philosophy, the vision systems provided by Tattile offer plug-and-play functionality and easily established connectivity with the entire range of Toshiba Machine SCARA, Cartesian and six axis robots.

Robot programming is simple and conducted via a series of dedicated commands. Furthermore, 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.  

Industrial cameras for robotics applications
Established in 1988, Tattile designs and manufactures digital cameras, embedded vision systems and intelligent cameras for robotics, general industrial, security, traffic and railway applications. The company is a world leader in GigaEthernet 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 wide line of high performance smart cameras (XP embedded®) and embedded analyser systems.
