Pick-and-Place mit 2D-Kameras

Robotergestütztes Pick-and-Place findet häufig in Fertigungs-, Montage- und Verpackungsprozessen Anwendung, bei denen es notwendig ist, Objekte zur weiteren Verarbeitung präzise zu erkennen, zu greifen und anschließend an einer anderen Position abzulegen. Die Objektlokalisierung erfolgt dabei durch 2D-Kameras, die die Positionsdaten direkt an den Roboter senden.

Pick-and-Place mit Machine Vision Geräten – die Vorteile

Flexible Montagemöglichkeiten der Kamera

Keine Anwendung ist wie die andere! Je nach Anwendungsfall kann Machine Vision Hardware statisch über dem Greifbereich oder direkt am Roboterarm montiert werden. Die statische Anbringung der Kameras bietet sich besonders bei platzkritischen Anwendungen oder bei kleinen Roboterarmen mit begrenztem Einbauraum an, während die Positionierung der Kamera am Roboterarm die Flexibilität der Anwendung erhöht.

摄像头与机器人直接通信

2D 摄像头通过机器人视觉接口直接与制造商 UR、 KUKA 和 ABB 的机器人通信 – 无需开发自己的接口,也不必连接单独的硬件。每种类型的机器人都有示例程序或 UR 的 URCap 以供下载。这样可以非常简便快速地设置机器人视觉应用 – 无论是使用 B60 Smart Camera 还是带有机器视觉照相机的机器视觉控制器。记录的 TCP/IP 通信可与其他制造商连接。
 

与 uniVision 生态系统无缝集成

wenglor uniVision 3 的工具箱提供不同的物体检测模块,例如定位和图案匹配模块。两个模块都可用来示教不同的对象类型,其中在这两个模块中可以找到多个甚至不同的对象,并可根据位置等进行排序。此外,x 和 y 方向可以实现可变的偏移,大大地提高取放应用的灵活性:根据应用,可以精确确定机器人应抓取的物体位置 – 在顶部、中部或后部。在基于网络的可视化界面中可以单独、灵活地显示抓取位置或找到的物体的轮廓等结果。

Reduced Cycle Times Thanks to Multi-Object Recording

In wenglor uniVision 3 software, several – even different – objects can be detected with a single image capture and their coordinates can be passed on to the robot control system. This means that the robot can grip the objects directly one after the other without having to move to the detection position for camera capture again before each grip. This reduces cycle time and greatly increases the efficiency of the pick-and-place application. 

Precise Calibration with Accurate Calibration Targets

The 2D camera and robot must initially be calibrated once. Highly accurate calibration targets are available in various sizes and materials (glass for transmitted light applications, carbon fiber for incident light applications). The successful calibration process can be checked directly via a verification step.

Pick and Place versus Bin Picking – What is the Difference?

Pick and Place: Precise Localization and Picking

In pick-and-place applications, 2D cameras locate the objects to be picked and pass their position coordinates on to the robot controller. The robot can then pick the objects precisely and then place them in a different position.
Pick and place is suited for simple and quick applications where the objects are separated and on one level. 
 

Bin picking: Reaching into a Bin

Bin picking refers to an automated application, where robots pick randomly arranged objects from containers. This requires 3D sensors that detect the position of the objects in the space and pass the information to the robot.
Bin picking with 3D sensors is ideal if the objects are not separated and are arranged in random positions.
