UR
This guide introduces how to set up Standard Interface communication between Mech-Mind Vision System and a UR robot.
Mech-Mind Vision System seamlessly integrates with UR robots by using Mech-Mind 3D Vision Interface, a URCap plugin that provides out-of-the-box program nodes such as calibration, as well as pick and place. You only need to do some easy pick-and-place programming to develop vision-guided programs.
