Programming Basics 7-5
The Vision System
An essential component of the programming and production process of fluid dispensing is the
Vision System. The Vision System hardware consists of a camera, light source, Cognex

Vision Processor and video board. The software portion includes Fluidmove for Windows
(FMW) which controls all programming and dispensing functions and uses the Asymtek
Vision for Windows (AVW) library in conjunction with Cognex software to perform fiducial
location and edge detection functions. The video image you see in the Teach Window is
supplied by the Vision System. Figure 7 -2 is a block diagram showing the interaction
between the components of the Vision System.
