Create your first recipe

What is a recipe?

A recipe contains all the vision parameters for a specific part.

When properly configured, a recipe enables EYE+ XTD to:

Detect all pickable parts.
Sort parts based on the defined picking order if applicable.
Provide feedback when no more parts are available.

Create a recipe step by step

The recipe wizard is designed to create a recipe for your specific part. It is divided into 6 steps.

1. Starting Up: Images are captured with acquisition parameters that will be used in the next steps.
2. Candidate Detection: Potential pickable parts are detected.
3. Candidate Selection: (Optional) Only candidates that are oriented correctly are selected.
4. Pick Point Teaching: X,Y-Position of the part is precisely defined.
5. Pick Angle Teaching: (Optional) RZ-Orientation of the part is precisely defined.
