DOBOT VX500 Smart Camera - 2.5D vision for CRA robots
Description
DOBOT VX500 smart camera - Industrial vision for collaborative robots
The DOBOT VX500 smart camera is an integrated vision solution for collaborative robots in the DOBOT CRA series. It enables precise positioning, object recognition, and measurement tasks directly on the robot - without external vision systems.
With its integrated vision system, plug-and-play functionality, and seamless integration with DobotStudio Pro, the VX500 significantly reduces implementation effort and enables rapid commissioning and efficient automation of visual applications.
Highlights
- Smart camera for DOBOT CRA and CRV robots
- 2.5D and 2D positioning for precise object recognition
- Integrated vision system (no external PC required during operation)
- Plug-and-play integration with DobotStudio Pro
- Supports OCR, code recognition, and measurement functions
- Integrated LED lighting (14 LEDs + position indicators)
- High positioning accuracy of up to ±0.26 mm (application-dependent)
- Direct mounting on the robot (eye-in-hand)
- Compatible with standardized robot interfaces (ISO flange)
- Reduced integration and programming effort
Benefits / areas of use
The VX500 smart camera is suitable for industrial applications that require visual recognition and precise positioning. Typical areas of use include pick-and-place, quality inspection, assembly processes, and logistics and packaging tasks.
It also enables applications such as barcode recognition, optical character recognition (OCR), dimensional measurement, and flexible automation solutions in production, research, and education.
