Camera-based robot applications

For simple and complex travel paths

Camera-guided robots make it possible to pick up parts that do not have a precisely defined position. In production, for example, robots can automate tedious and time-consuming pick and place tasks. Typical applications include

  • Recognising and picking up or feeding workpieces
  • quality assurance
  • assembly
  • Recognition of barcodes
  • Presence monitoring
  • Reach into the box

Bin-picking with robolink D and a camera vision system
This pilot system from Volkswagen AG shows application with grip from a box using the robolink® D and camera vision system. This is about the handling of the forced ventilation frame for the Passat /Arteon, respectively separating and feeding the components for further processing.

    • robolink® RL-DP with PhoXi 3D Scanner for automated scanning
    For this automated scanning process, a robolink DP articulated arm robot is used together with a 3D scanner from Photoneo. The workpiece is rotated on a rotary axis for scanning. This allows the robot to take a 360° picture with the integrated scanner.

    Modular linear robot system for underwater photography

    Storm Petrel Studios LTD is specialised in underwater filming in the field of nature films. For the so-called "Ex Situ"- film recordings, the exciting world of animal life is to be depicted in a very detailed way using special techniques and higher magnifications. In order to ensure consistent resolution quality at high magnifications, the camera system must have an modular design and be able to adapt to different film movements.
