Braintech Supports Vision Guided Robotic Accuracy Tests

MCLEAN, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Braintech Inc. (OTC BB: BRHI) is actively supporting an applied research project
at a national research laboratory to evaluate the accuracy of visual sensors
that measure position and orientation in manufacturing applications in real
time. Braintech has loaned a copy of eVisionFactory (eVF), its award-winning
Vision Guided Robotic (VGR) software product, for the exercise to create a
procedure that would lead to standards for measuring the accuracy of
robotic/vision sensors that provide real-time position and orientation
information.

"For this research and exercise, Braintech set up its vision software on the
FANUC Robot in the Intelligent Systems Division`s lab at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Intelligent Systems Division is in
NIST`s Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory," Braintech CEO Rick Weidinger said.
"This represents an important deployment in the government and we have focused
our support on the utilization of Single Camera 3D (SC3D) with automatic
calibration, training, testing and data archiving capability. This is an
important opportunity to help American manufacturing retool for the future.

"Braintech recognizes that American manufacturing needs to change and new
solutions must be flexible, accurate and facilitate rapid retooling. Flexibility
is the key to adapting to the ever-changing market and easy-to-use, accurate and
adaptable vision guided robotic solutions permit cost effective retooling."

Braintech is providing one of the sensors used in the NIST ISD experiments to
define and implement metrics for determining the accuracy and repeatability of
sensors for applications such as robotic pick and place. After an initial
stationary part accuracy exercise is completed, the NIST engineers plan to
address performance measures for sensors that locate parts in motion. The
Braintech eVF may be used for these tests as well. Continuous moving line (CML)
is a key factor in the successful conversion of American manufacturing to
state-of-the-art rapid retooling.

For the tests at NIST, Braintech eVF software has been integrated into a FANUC
Model R-30iAController and Model M16iB/20 Robot and initial accuracy
measurements have been made on a stationary part. Images from an Ethernet-ready
JAI GigE camera are sent to a Braintech-enabled PC.
