Parts With Sides

Configure settings as follows to retrieve one side of parts with multiple sides.

• Vision sequence
  Refer to the following and create it in the same way.
  Simple Parts

• Vision objects

1. Register an object detecting the front side of parts (e.g.: Geometric).
2. Register an object detecting the back side of parts (e.g.: Geometric).
   E.g.: Create two Geometric objects to determine which side a part is facing. (Geom01 to detect the front sides of parts, Geom02 to detect the back sides of parts)
   

The Geometric property settings example is as follows.

Property	Configuration method
Accept	Set to ensure that parts are detected.
NumberToFind	Set to All.
SearchWindow	Match to the inner circumference of the platform.
ModelWindow	Teach parts along their contour.

KEY POINTS

---

The Timeout property setting can be important for Geometric and Correlation vision objects. Otherwise, processing may take as long as 2000 milliseconds (the default).

Example:

Geometric with NumberToFind = 9

A lot of parts in the image

VRun

→ Time to find is 75 ms. for this example.

Set NumberToFind = All

VRun

→ Time is about 2000 ms (the timeout value)

Set Timeout to 100 ms

VRun

→ Time is about 2000 ms (the timeout value)

So, if Timeout is not set correctly, the application may take for up to 2000 ms (default) when the Geometric or Correlation runs. For time critical applications, it is important to set Timeout correctly.
