AdeptSight Camera Calibration
AdeptSight Camera Calibration calibrates a robot to a camera. This calibration is necessary if
you will be using vision with a robot.
Because there are a number of ways to mount a camera, and the option of a conveyor belt,
there are eight different camera calibration wizards.
Requirements
l The robot, controller, belt (if used), and camera must be correctly connected and func-
tioning.
The Cobra i-Series robots do not need a SmartController motion controller.
l The camera itself must be calibrated. See Standalone Camera Calibration on page
207.
l The PC running the AdeptSight software must be connected to the controller for the
robot (and belt).
l The AdeptSight Belt Calibration Wizard must have completed successfully, if a con-
veyor belt will be used (a belt calibration object must exist in the workspace). See
AdeptSight Belt Calibration on page 55.
Next Step

ibration Interview Wizard on page 75.
