FS Systems Appointed Certified Integration Partner for Halcon

May 2010

FS Systems are proud to announce their appoinment by MVTec Software GmbH as Certified Integration Partners (CIP) for Halcon. Halcon's image processing libraries have been market leading for many years and continue to evolve with more and more powerful, robust and fast algorithms. FS Systems have produced standard software for repeat installations as well as unique, bespoke and one-off applications and are pleased to offer their services to companies who wish to have a solution deveoped for them.

"This is a reflection of the long standing relationship FS System's engineers have had with the software having been working with it for over ten years". Bob Fisher of FS commented, "We have been creating software solutions using Halcon since 2001 and have many successful installations in the UK, the US, Europe and now in the Far East too. Mutlipix have recognised that we were ideal candidates for CIP status especially in the fields of Robotic vision and manufacturing quality control"

RoboVis® on the road!

FS Systems in conjunction with Kawasaki Robotics UK have been taking the dice-rolling vision demo cell all across europe! The demo utilises RoboVis® - FS Systems' powerful & simple robotic pick and place vision system to locate, identify and report back to the robot the dice's position, number & orientation. The flexible FS02 6-axis robot rolls the dice, waits for RoboVis® to issue the location & number information before accurately picking the dice and placing to the correctly numbered nest. This is a fun simulation of a typical pick & place application taking randomly oriented parts from a conveyor and then placing the accurately into another process. Contact us for more information.

Since the system first displayed at MACH 2008 show (NEC, Birmingham) a few revisions have been made ready for this years shows. First off was another NEC date at Packaging Innovations show with Kawasaki UK:

Next stop for the system was Nurnberg's Embedded World to be an integral part of the Microsoft UK Windows Embedded stand. We also had a static demonstration on our Panel PC supplier's stand:


Another stop in the UK with the Machine Building Show at the NEC with Kawasaki:

Back again to Germany, this time to Hannover to support Microsoft once more:
