Locate part
Location tools specify the locations of the features included in the image and outputs their coordinates.
The inspection region can be followed even if the target rotates or moves in the field of view (fixturing).
Fixturing is performed by acquiring information such as the position (x, y) and rotation of the part.
The coordinates can be transmitted and used for robot position control.
Selecting a location tool
Carefully observe the inspection target to determine what type of features are suitable for the inspection purpose and specifications.
In this training, location is performed using a PatMax pattern.
For details on other types of location tool, refer to the following.

Location using PatMax pattern
The PatMax pattern tool performs pattern location using the PatMax algorithm based on registered models. The PatMax pattern tool is used for a single pattern location.
Pattern location tools include the PatMax pattern, the PatMax RedLine pattern, and the Pattern tool, all of which are the most accurate inspection tools for detecting registered model patterns.
The use of a registered model is a common feature, but use the PatMax pattern and PatMax RedLine pattern when high accuracy and reliability are required, such as in the cases listed below.
• When it is difficult to control reflections or changes in lighting
• When the pattern to be inspected is similar or shadowed compared with the background pattern
• When patterns overlap or are partially hidden
• When high accuracy is required
• When operating environment conditions require very high levels of stability and reliability
