Robotic picking of metal objects

Partner:

SEMA Maschinenbau GmbH

Problem:

The customer needed a solution for robotic picking of metal parts that would be able to deliver high performance in challenging light conditions with sunlight. The aim was to grip as many as possible parts out of a bin in minimum time. The application required a robust robotic intelligence tool with 3D vision suppressing ambient light. 

Solution:

Bin Picking Studio + PhoXi 3D Scanner L

The deployed solution comprises Photoneo’s PhoXi 3D Scanner model L and the robotic intelligence tool for bin picking – Bin Picking Studio.

This combination of robotic vision and intelligence ensures precise robot navigation and flawless and reliable bin picking of parts from a box.

Discussion:

The solution from Photoneo offers a very compact design and intuitive software that is easy to operate.

The PhoXi 3D Scanner provides a resolution of 3 Million 3D points and an accuracy of 5 – 500 µm across the different models. Model L provides an accuracy of 200 µm and a scanning range between 870 – 2150 mm. The scanner delivers robust performance in challenging conditions and industrial environments thanks to IP65, thermal calibration, and ambient light suppression.

Bin Picking Studio is an all-in-one set for bin picking that brings you a complete stack of technology under one roof, including 3D vision, localization, and path planning. 

Another advantage is Photoneo’s first-class support. The team offers free feasibility studies, consultancies, and assistance throughout the entire integration process.
