National Instruments (NI) and Denso Robotics have announced a collaboration to integrate NI measurement and vision technology within Denso robotic arms. The new ImagingLab Robotics Library for Denso (from NI Alliance Partner ImagingLab) communicates directly with Denso controllers to command and control the robotic arms via LabVIEW software. The new library is an easy-to-use collection of graphical functions that offer a single software environment to control and integrate every aspect of a machine, from part handling and robot control to advanced measurements and machine vision.
The ImagingLab Robotics Library for Denso works with LabVIEW Real-Time systems, which combines LabVIEW graphical programming with the power of a real-time operating system, allowing engineers and scientists to build real-time applications. The library also works with NI Smart Cameras for integrated vision-guided robotics and NI data acquisition hardware.
