I am getting ready to start a project that is using iRvision. I have never used this before. I have lots of manuals on the subject but don't know which manuals have more relevant information compared to others, and there is a lot to read through. So I was hoping someone could give some advice on where to start and important things to know as far as getting started and the basics. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

IrVision works very well once you have set it up several times and start to understand it.
Trick #1 always do a 4 point user frame setup for the calibration (step one)
then without moving the grid do the vision calibrationthere is several more steps. what are you doing, picking up parts? depalitising, inspecting?

Just picking parts. Doesn't sound to bad but between two robots there is at least ( and I'm ball parking this) 500 picks. And there is no positive placement for any of the parts. So if the vision doesn't match, then it just fails, which is fine. But the pin alignment has a very small window. And if the vision approves the part, it still runs the risk of damaging the parts or the pin on the tooling. Long story short, a lot is being asked of us, with LOTS of mechanical issues, and the vision system only being used as pass or fail, and we are pretty much told that we can only have a 1% failure rate, but the parts are almost never sitting in the same positions, and we can't damage the tooling. I'm just venting at this point. We will make it work but the customer is not making it easy.

I sure hope not. Moving picks or stationary?

Stationary picks with gantry robot on a slide. So, if the slide move, which it has to, then new snap shot required. Trying to keep it to a minimum but it's proving to be difficult. Not to mention that the racks we are picking off of are a mechanical nightmare. So because of the inconsistency we are having to add even more logic and snapshots in order to make it work.
