What is the primary function of the FANUC iRVision system?

The primary function of the FANUC iRVision system is to perform vision-guided tasks through recognition. This advanced vision system integrates with FANUC robots to enable them to "see" and understand their environment. By utilizing cameras and image processing techniques, iRVision allows robots to identify objects, determine their position and orientation, and interact with them accordingly. This capability is essential in various applications, such as picking and placing components in assembly lines, performing quality inspections, or navigating through industrial settings.

The iRVision system enhances the functionality of robots beyond simple programming, enabling them to adapt to variability in their workspace and improve efficiency and accuracy in operations. The ability to recognize and respond to visual information is a significant advancement that greatly expands the range of tasks that can be automated using robotics technology.
