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.

Compatibility

The compatible versions of PolyScope and Mech-Mind Software Suite for the URCap 1.5.0 plugins are shown in the table below. Please select the URCap plugin file according to the version of PolyScope used by the robot.
