Attaching the Camera Mount

Securing the Robot Arm

Read the Mechanical Interface section in robot User Manual.

 

Before attaching the camera you should mount the robot arm according to the requirements specific to your robot model as described in Securing the Robot Arm chapter in robot User Manual. You can test the robot movement without any attachments.

 
End of Arm

Read the Securing Tool chapter in robot User Manual.

 

Supplied with the kit you will find four M6 bolts. Bolts in the kit are suitable for attaching the camera mount without an end effector.

 

Camera mount could be inserted between the robot tool flange connector and an end effector using longer bolts.

 

Very long M6 bolts can press against the bottom of the tool flange and short circuit the robot.

  • Do not use bolts that extend beyond 10 mm to mount the tool.
Correct payload

Incorrect payload can result in unexpected robot movement when entering Freedrive.

  • Remember to set the correct payload on the robot and adjust the Center of Gravity (CoG).

As a guidance, assembled camera mount, camera and mounting bolts weight approximately 480 gr.

 
Adjusting the camera mount

Robot vision applications require consistent camera positioning, either fixed to the robot arm or static relative to the robot base.

 

To ensure the necessary rigidity, camera mount parts are secured with locking pins, which prevent accidental changes to the camera position. Adjusting the camera position requires disassembling the camera mount, realigning the parts, and reassembling them.

Do not attempt to adjust camera position by forcing camera mount parts.

Repeat camera calibration after adjusting camera position.
