New DENSO Robot Video on YouTube

LONG BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DENSO Robotics announced that a new robot video is now available on its YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/densorobotics and also on the DENSO Robotics website at www.densorobotics.com/applications.php.
The video, which features live demonstrations from the DENSO booth at Automatica 2012 in Munich, showcases DENSO's latest technology. Included are the company's new VS-Series six-axis articulated robots - the world's fastest in their class - as well as its next-generation RC8 controller. The RC8 controller offers advanced communication features and expanded functionality, yet is in turn the world's smallest in its class, with a footprint of only 11.75 x 18.00 inches and a height of only 3.75 inches.
"This video is a great way of letting customers see some of the most outstanding features of our robots in action," said Peter Cavallo, robotics sales manager, high DENSO Sales California. "It not only shows them the high speed of our new VS robots but also their high precision."
Among the video's highlights is a new VS-Series robot playing air hockey against a human opponent, showing the quick "reflexes" of a high-speed robot integrated with a high-speed vision system.
In another demonstration, two VS robots synchronize their movements to keep a toy slot car moving from one constantly alternating section of airborne track to another without letting it run off the edge. The robots show how DENSO\'s b-CAPTM binary controller access protocol enables them to make use of real-time path planning and thus respond instantly to changing environmental or process conditions.
DENSO is the world's largest user of small assembly robots, with more than 16,000 DENSO robots designed and used in its own manufacturing facilities. More than 60,000 DENSO robots are used in other companies worldwide. DENSO Robotics offers a complete line of robots, controllers and software covering a wide range of applications.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
