Templates
Measure angle
With this template you can measure the angle between two lines. Intersection point and intersection angle are sent as process data via Device TCP.
Find edge
With this template you can find the end point of one line segment. Depending on the position of the search line, the end point of the first segment is found on the left or right side. Edge point and inclination angle are sent as process data via Device TCP.
Measure diameter
With this template you can measure the diameter of a height profile. Midpoint and diameter are sent as process data via Device TCP.
Measure distance
With this template you can measure the distance of a height profile. Midpoint, distance and inclination angle are sent as process data via Device TCP.
Calculate sectional area
With this template you can calculate the sectional area above or below the height profile for example for gluing applications. Midpoint and sectional area are sent as process data via Device TCP.
Find butt joint
With this template you can find a butt joint for seam tracking at welding applications. Tracking point and further results are sent as process data via Device TCP. Process data via Device TCP can also be used directly in the robot interfaces for seam tracking at welding applications.
Find lap joint
With this template you can find a lap joint for seam tracking at welding applications. Tracking point and further results are sent as process data via Device TCP. Process data via Device TCP can also be used directly in the robot interfaces for seam tracking at welding applications.
Find T joint
With this template you can find a T joint for seam tracking at welding applications. Tracking point and further results are sent as process data via Device TCP. Process data via Device TCP can also be used directly in the robot interfaces for seam tracking at welding applications.
Calibrate robots (edge)
With this template you can calibrate 2D/3D profile sensors and robots with an edge. Edge point and further results are sent as process data via Device TCP to the robot interface.
Calibrate robots (calibration plate)
With this template you can calibrate 2D/3D profile sensors and robots with a calibration plate. Edge points and further results are sent as process data via Device TCP to the robot interface.
Find dent
With this template you can find a dent for seam tracking at welding applications. Tracking point and further results are sent as process data via Device TCP. Process data via Device TCP can also be used directly in the robot interfaces for seam tracking at welding applications.

Software Modules
Filter
Filters are used to amplify or suppress a characteristic of an image or an image section or to improve the image quality. This feature can be an edge or an area, for example. Filters thus prepare the image processing.
Statistics
The application can be fine-tuned on the basis of statistical sensor data.
Match Code
A scanned code or text can be checked to determine whether or not it coincides with the taught in match code.
Coordinate System
Objects can be tracked and reliably detected. Additional image processing functions can also be set up on the basis of this coordinate system.
The coordinate system module allows for translatory and rotary tracking. The coordinate system’s X and Y positions, as well as its rotary position, are adjusted during this process.
The coordinate system is suitable for tracking objects where the rotary position can change.
Note: In addition to rotary tracking, translatory tracking is also possible. Purely translatory tracking is possible with the tracking module.
Region
The relevant region of interest used for evaluation should be as large as necessary and as small as possible.
A small, precisely defined area results in faster evaluation and a higher image refresh rate. This allows for faster application runtimes because image recording and processing are quicker. Furthermore, object or feature detection is more reliable because fewer noise pixels can occur within the evaluated area.
The object to be detected must lie fully within the selected area, because reliable object detection cannot otherwise be assured.
Compare numbers with each other.
I/O
The inputs and outputs can be configured in order to specify which action will take place as the result of a given event.
Logics
Logically link values to each other.
Mathematics
Offset numbers with each other.
Measurement
This module can be used to specify dimensional accuracy checks on distances, lengths, diameters or angles and to carry out measurements. Lines and circles are found with the help of search rays. Distances and angles can be measured between detected lines or points.
Spreadsheet Calculation
Results can be subjected to any desired mathematical, numeric or logic calculations.
Counter
Good and bad parts are counted with the counter module.
Calculus
Special points can be ascertained, for example the highest or lowest point of a point cloud.
Pattern Matching
Object contours can be taught in and recognized – regardless of position and rotational orientation within the image (X, Y and 360° tracking).
TCP
Results can be read out via TCP/IP as process data.
UDP
Results can be read out via UDP as process data.
Industrial Ethernet
Process data can be exchanged with the device via Industrial Ethernet.
FTP
Images, profiles and text files can be saved on an FTP server or locally on the device.
Weld seam tracking
Various joints can be reliably detected before the welding process.
