ロボットグリッパを柔軟に自動化する3Dカメラで、物体の位置や方向、寸法を測定できます。物体を静止状態で測定し視野内に物体を1つだけ配置することで、最高の寸法測定性能が得られます。このシステムは、長方形、円形だけでなく不規則な形状も認識することができ、さらに、重心の位置と寸法だけでなく、カウント数をコントローラに転送することができます。
The 3D sensor detects the object position, even when objects are moving, and transmits it to the robot control, which controls the gripper. The system can detect rectangular, round and irregular shapes and transmit not only the position of their centre of gravity, but also their number and dimensions to the controller. Typical objects are boxes, cardboard packages, buckets, kegs, cans, bags, wheels or luggage. Automated gripper systems increase the productivity of many applications, as they carry out monotonous manufacturing steps more quickly and evenly than a human. In addition, monotonous movements with heavy objects are bad for workers’ health and lead to frequent absences. When robots take over heavy physical work, this increases machine up-time and releases human workers for tasks for which they are better suited.
