Robot-Controlled Pick And Place for Separating, Gripping and Transferring Bulk Material with Smart Camera

Flexible feeder systems consisting of a gripper unit, a smart camera and illumination are used to separate components from bulk goods containers for the following processing steps. The camera captures multiple objects with each image to minimize the cycle time and transfers the position and orientation of the parts directly to the robot. Professional calibration targets enable easy and precise hand-eye calibration, while the gyroscope built into the camera detects position changes, ensuring robust calibration.
