Bin Picking with Metal Components via 3D Sensors

Bin picking refers to an automation process where chaotically arranged objects are detected, picked and conveyed using 3D sensors and robots. Installed stationary above the container, the sensor first creates a point cloud using structured light. This creates a three-dimensional model of the surface. With this information and thanks to high point densities, the robots can detect and reliably grip surfaces, openings or grooves of even the smallest components.
