3D MACHINE VISION FOR RANDOM BIN PICKING
3D random bin picking is a challenging area in manufacturing industries that has perplexed engineers for years.
To meet this challenge, Canon has aimed for and created a solution that utilizes Canon's leading optical and processing technologies. The installation is simple, yet the system is sophisticated. It automatically recognizes parts, determines the best pick candidate, and calculates the most optimal path so that the robot can safely, but surely, pick up the part and move it to its desired destination. It is a complete solution for random bin picking on any production floor.
Random Bin Picking in Mass Production
Canon’s advanced 3D Machine Vision guides a robot to pick and place resin molded printer parts which are randomly piled in mass production line.
SIMPLE FLOW OF AUTOMATION
Incorporating the Machine Vision system into your production line is easy. Setup is simple with the use of user-friendly software. Simply dump the parts into a bin and hit the start button. The system will search for the best pick candidate from the pile based on your application. Your robot, fully integrated with Canon's Machine Vision system, then automatically picks the part and places it, getting you ready for the next process with ease.
