1. Video cameras

PANASONIC GP-MF 602

The Panasonic GP-MF602 Industrial Camera incorporates an Inter Line Transfer type CCD image sensor. The GP-MF602 further has an image sensor of 380,000 pixels and 570 lines of horizontal resolution, with smear reduced to a bare minimum. The GP-MF602 camera is the Adept standard camera. The lens attached to the camera are C-mount type COSMICAR, with the focal length of 16 mm.

2. Identification system

Identification and data storage systems are used for controlling numerous production and transport systems in assembly technology. On the one hand, data related to objects is the basis for targeted control of process and processing steps and, on the other, is used for type or variant-dependent infeeding and outfeeding of workpiece pallets when manufacturing product variants on flexible assembly systems with branches.
In the proposed manufacturing system the identification of the workpiece pallets is carried out through data carrier chips attached to each pallet.
