Hi everyone,
Here are questions we were asked during the vision system training about the presentation on the hardware of the Robotiq Wrist Camera
Feel free to ask other ones you may have in mind!

With the camera and ft sensor, I know it's designed mainly for pick and place. Can it be used to look at one part and focus on a specific feature on that part?
Also can the camera and ft sensor be used with something other than the gripper, such as a drill, torque gun, screwdriver, etc.?
Most of our customers prefer to have some kind of quick-disconnect connector mounted on the side panel of the UR Control Box, so I would envision us needing to cut the cable in the middle, and add a connector on either end.

The Wrist Camera kit for Universal Robots comes with a tool flange that recreates the UR bolt pattern (ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6). Thus, you can easily mount the end effector you need for you application.
As of today, the Wrist Camera is mainly designed for part detection to do, for instance, pick and place operations.
What would you like our Camera to be able to perform?

I know this is, at the moment, meant for pick and place, the potential for other apps could be interesting.
You could actually do this kind of program with today's version. The Vision system will detect the part and, when you teach movements to the robot, you can make them relative to the part's frame. Therefore, when programming, you could place the robot's effector at a specific place over the part and then teach it a path - an make it a relative motion. You would just need to make sure that your object has specific features so that the Camera is able to detect it and its orientation.
This is actually a nice test we could do!

You can then do a movement relative to the part or an absolute one.
Here is an example of the use of the camera locate node.

The only limit I can see in what you can do after the part is located is not to touch it or move it. It's because we can't control which part will be detected first nor we can tell the robot to omit one detection after it located it. So if the part remains on the workstation, the camera can locate the same forever.
But all worth to test and re-test! Does that make sense?
