MVisionPro — official Hikrobot distributor
VisionMaster: the Hikrobot machine vision platform
A platform with ready tools: positioning, measurement, defect inspection, identification. The scenario is assembled from ready blocks, and the result goes to a PLC, a robot, an HMI or MES. The license is installed on an industrial PC or supplied with a vision controller.
What is in the ecosystem
Download VisionMaster and how to start
The VisionMaster installer can be downloaded from our server, and the program needs a license to run: a USB key, a software activation code or a network key. Licenses are matched to the task and the number of cameras — below on this page and in the catalog. Packages of one version are installed in this order: first the main one (Basic), then, if needed, the Deep Learning package and the samples.
| Package | Purpose | Operating systems | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| VisionMaster Basic | Main installation: environment, tools, SDK, drivers | Windows 7, 10 and 11 (64-bit) | about 1.9 GB |
| VisionMaster DL | Additional deep learning tools, installed on top of Basic of the same version | Windows 7, 10 and 11 (64-bit) | about 2.9 GB |
| SC_VisionMaster Basic | The program for SC5000X and SC6000 smart cameras (firmware 4.4.30 and newer) | Windows 7, 10 and 11 (64-bit) | about 2.3 GB |
Sample solutions (Samples) for a first acquaintance are sent on request.
VM3D is a separate program for 3D data: profiles, depth maps, point clouds, 3D positioning and measurement (Windows 7 and 10, 64-bit). The file is large, about 4 GB; write to us — we will make it available for download from our server and advise on the license.
PC requirements
Minimum — a processor of the Intel E3845 class, 4 GB RAM, 1 GB video memory, .NET 4.6.1, GigE and USB3 ports; recommended — i7-6700 (3.4 GHz) or better, 8 GB RAM or more, an Intel i210 network card or newer; for Deep Learning on a GPU — 6 GB of video memory or more.
Installation and activation, step by step
- Install the main package; during installation choose the interface (GUI), the needed drivers and the licensing method. The licensing method can be changed after installation only by reinstalling.
- Activate the license: a USB key, a software code (SoftEncrypt) or a network key (RemoteEncrypt). A software code is tied to one computer: before moving to another PC or reinstalling the system, the license must be released. A network key has a limit on simultaneous launches — it is shown in the key details.
- After installation the programs and the SDK are in the Applications, Development and Drivers folders inside the chosen directory. For the first steps use the samples package and the manual of your version.
