This section provides information on creating a new Mech-Vision project, saving the project, and the naming convention of project names.

Create New Projects

Create from Solution Library

Please refer to Create a new solution or project from Solution Library.

Create a New Blank Project

There are three ways to create a new blank project:

  • After creating a new solution, create a new blank project in it.

  • Select File  New Project in the menu bar to create a new blank project.

  • Press Ctrl + N on the keyboard to create a new blank project.

You can only create a new project after creating a new solution.

Save Projects

You can save a single project in a solution or save all projects in the solution.

Save a Single Project

There are two ways to save a single project in a solution:

  • Select File  Save Project in the menu bar to save a single project.

  • Click create and save project icon 1 on the left end of the project toolbar or press Ctrl + S on the keyboard to save a single project.

Save all Projects in the Solution

If you want to save all projects in a solution, select File  Save Solution in the menu bar to save all projects in the solution.

Naming Convention of Project Names

The recommended naming convention of Mech-Vision projects is as shown below.

Components in the name Description

Vis

To distinguish Mech-Vision projects from Mech-Viz projects (compulsory)

Object Name + Application Scenario

For example: CartonDepalletizing/DiscBrakeMachineTending/ElectricMotorAssembly/SpongeGluing/ParcelPicking

No. or the position of the Camera

Camera No.: 1#CrackDetection1#HeatTreating1#
Camera Position: LeftCamera (optional)

Specific or special function

Specific function: Category1WorkpieceRecognition/ReflectiveWorkpieceRecognition/BinDetection/ModelMaking
Special function: PointCloudStitching/ImageStitchingFromTwoCameras (optional)

The table below provides some example names.

Scenario Example Name

Single Robot Cell + Single Camera

Vis-CartonDepalletizing

Vis-DiscBrakeMachineTending

Vis-ElectricMotorAssembly

Vis-SpongeGluing

Vis-ParcelPicking

Single Robot Cell + Multiple Cameras

Vis-WorkpieceMachineTending-LeftCamera

Multiple Robot Cells + Multiple Cameras

Vis-CrankshaftMachineTending-CrackDetection1#LeftCamera

Multiple Robot Cells + Multiple Cameras + Function

Vis-CrankshaftMachineTending-CrackDetection1#LeftCamera-PointCloudStitching

One camera in the robot cell is used to enable multiple functions

Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-Category1WorkpieceRecognition

Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-Category2WorkpieceRecognition

Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-BinDetection

Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#LeftCamera-ModelMaking

Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#RightCamera-Category1WorkpieceRecognition

Vis-RzeppaJointMachineTending-5#RightCamera-Category2WorkpieceRecognition

When using English for naming, note that:

  • Use abbreviations instead of full names if possible.

  • Try not to use pinyin spelling.

  • Use camel case in word combinations.
