Home / Applications
Support part localization, alignment, pick-and-place, position correction, and robot-assisted automation — giving robots the eyes to handle parts that are not perfectly placed.
Fixtures, bowl feeders, and hard stops add cost and limit flexibility. If parts arrive in slightly different positions, a blind robot misses, jams, or damages them.
A camera finds each part, calculates its position and angle, and passes corrected coordinates to the robot in milliseconds. The same view can inspect the part, so one station both guides and verifies.
Fixed or robot-mounted cameras can be used, depending on the cell.
Find parts on conveyors, trays, or tables with position and angle.
Align parts to fixtures, other parts, or machining positions.
Guide the gripper to randomly placed parts.
Send offsets so the robot corrects for part variation.
Map camera coordinates to robot coordinates precisely.
Connect to leading robot and PLC controllers.
A quick sense of what typically drives the setup — the exact tools are always tuned during commissioning.
Fixed overhead camera with encoder tracking to pick moving parts.
2D or 3D vision to find separate parts in trays and bins.
Robot-mounted camera for fine alignment before insertion.
Backlighting or diffused lighting for stable edges on shiny parts.
3D cameras or laser profiling when parts are stacked, tilted, or vary in height and need a full pose, not just X-Y position.
Parts arrived at random angles, so a person loaded the machine. A camera now sends position and angle to the robot for each pick.
Automated loading
Less labor
Locate time
Boards in carriers varied enough to cause jams. A camera now measures each board and corrects the robot position before insertion.
Alignment
Fewer jams
Per cycle
Fixture wear shifted parts and affected welds. A robot-mounted camera now finds the real part position and corrects the path.
Parts corrected
Less rework
Per part
Tell us what the robot handles and how parts arrive. Our application engineers will recommend the camera, lighting, and lens combination to do it on every unit.
