Fig. 3.6.1: Mounting-point for connecting the rc_visard to robots or other mountings

For troubleshooting and static applications, the sensor may be mounted using the standardized tripod thread (UNC

1/4”-20) indicated at the coordinate-frame origin. For dynamic applications such as mounting on a robotic arm,

the sensor must be mounted with three M4 (metric standard) 8.8 machine screws tightened to 2.5 Nm and secured

with a medium-strength threadlocking adhesive such as Loctite 243. Maximum thread depth is 6 mm. The two

4 mm diameter holes may be used for positioning pins (ISO 2338 4 m6) to ensure precise repositioning of the

sensor.

Warning: For dynamic applications, the rc_visard must be mounted with three M4 8.8 machine screws

tightened to 2.5 Nm torque and secured with threadlocking adhesive. Do not use high-strength bolts. The

engaged thread depth must be at least 5 mm.

3.7 Coordinate frames

The rc_visard’s coordinate-frame origin is deﬁned as the exit pupil of the left camera lens. This frame is called

sensor coordinate frame or camera coordinate frame. An approximate location for the rc_visard 65 is shown in

the next image.

The mounting-point frame for both rc_visard devices is deﬁned to be at the bottom, centered in the tripod thread,

with orientation identical to that of the sensor’s coordinate frame. Fig. 3.7.1 shows approximate offsets.
