VIM-303

The ground breaking 3D vision guidance system that controls robotic arms for pick and place applications. 

Because VIM-303 is a robot controller and vision system all in one, all you need to automate is a VIM-303, a robot arm, and a gripper.

The arm-mounted camera is the key to making robotics affordable and easy to use.

A 3D camera, 2D camera, powerful vision processing and robot guidance, packed into one convenient package.

Intuitive QuickPick303 web interface allows novice users to easily select between pre-programmed tasks.

Programming a Vision Guided Workcell using VIM-303 follows 3 easy steps:

  1. Define Objects

  2. Define Waypoints

  3. Define Program

1. Define Objects

Vision programming has never been easier. Using the Vision Editor, define new objects with the click of a button.

2. Define Waypoints

Easily set waypoints by jogging or free-driving the robot using the Motion Editor, which includes a live image display.

3. Define Program

New tasks are straightforward to create using Blockly. Create programs in seconds using natural language, the way a person would be taught a task. Advanced programmers can control the camera using Python.

Other Programming Options

Programming in Python

Blockly programs are translated by the Camera into Python. Advanced users can program the Camera from a PC using Python.

Programming in PolyScope

The Camera can also be controlled from PolyScope, the native programming language of the Universal Robot. Add visual picking to your existing blind PolyScope programs.
