Major Components
The Vision Holding Fixture features the following components.
| Item | Description | Function |
|---|---|---|
| A | Tunkers Clamp | Secures the part during the the vision inspection operations. |
| B | Locating Pin | The locating pins on the Vision Holding Fixture allow for the accurate and controlled placement of the parts. When the material handling robot loads the part onto the fixture, the part must have each locating pin inserted into the locating holes. |
| C | Inductive Sensor | Detects the presence or absence of metal objects without making physical contact with them. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a metal object is brought near the sensor, it disturbs the electromagnetic field produced by the sensor, which in turn causes a change in the sensor output signal. |
