3.2 MILLION 3D POINTS IN EVERY SCAN

Ultra-High resolution

Thanks to ultra-high resolution sensor technology, ActiNav processes up to 3.2 million 3D points in every scan. This means it can work with complex parts, and a variety of bin sizes.

ACCURATE PATH PLANNING

INTRODUCING THE AMM

Our autonomous motion module (AMM) allows ActiNav to plan the part’s path, so you don’t have to.

The AMM delivers vision processing, collision-free motion planning and real-time robot control – all at once. It selects a robot pose that ensures parts are placed in the same way into a fixture each time. This is not picking and drop, but accurate pick and part-oriented placement.

DETECT PARTS, DAY OR NIGHT

STEADFAST SCANNING

ActiNav’s advanced sensor technology has a high tolerance to a variety of lighting conditions and can detect parts whether they have black, shiny or reflective surfaces. ActiNav combines advanced scanning with high-accuracy CAD-based matching algorithms which means you benefit from accurate part scanning and picking around the clock.

BOOST WORKER FLEXIBILITY WITH AUTOMATION

ActiNav consistently performs to the highest standard – both in and out of the bin. And the entire application sits within the teach pendant, where operators are guided through a six-step setup process.

The result is a smooth user experience, with no robotics or vision expertise required. It even takes care of path programming.

LOW MAINTENANCE. LOW LABOR. BIG RETURN.

You can achieve a typical payback time of less than 18 months on two shift operations with ActiNav.

In the entire deployment, the only part-specific elements are the end effector and CAD file. This means an ActiNav application kit has tremendous versatility to be cost effectively re-deployed to new parts or machines.

Lower maintenance requirements, reduced labor costs and higher rates of productivity. All with next-level accuracy.

20 YEARS OF PATH PLANNING TECHNOLOGY, BUILT-IN

ActiNav combines trusted software and motion control with our world-leading cobots to deliver more advanced machine loading than ever before. The technology is complex, but the programming is simple.

Plan, pick and place parts accurately, without collisions or the need to stop. You can trust the cobot to keep working at its maximum capacity.

“ActiNav can pick our parts out of the bin, no matter the orientation, and place them on the machine correctly. To have the robot do it and not have to use direct labor in that situation has been a big benefit.” Nate Gilbert, Manufacturing engineer technician

THE SHORT STORY

Allied Moulded is a full-service molding operation manufacturing non-metallic electrical boxes and enclosures. Facing significant challenges due to labor shortages, the Ohio-based company chose Universal Robots’ new ActiNav system to automate an important bin-picking application. The deployment enabled Allied Moulded to reduce overtime expenses, move existing workers to more ergonomic tasks and improve consistency in the production process.

“This solution allows us to have highly-trained people operating three or four robots, enabling us to use those people in other applications where they’re adding more value.” Alex Corckran, President and CEO.

THE SHORT STORY

PrecisionForm, a market leader in small custom metal parts, was challenged to automate the task of picking parts in deep bins and inserting them into a CNC machine. The company deployed Universal Robots’ ActiNav system for flexible machine loading, enabling them to boost competitiveness, overcome labor challenges, empower their workforce and extend the lifespan of older equipment.
