Pickit3D solutions for automated bin picking are available in Canada from Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd. The manufacturer creates flexible, dependable, cost-effective bin picking with three-dimensional-vision robot-automation scenarios – perfect for production lines that have been restraining time to market. Users cut costs by saving on downtime, maintenance, and low-value production applications.

With reliable bin picking and machine tending by Pickit3D, customers take a giant step towards smart manufacturing in their business operations.

 

Semi-structured or random picking

 

With 3D-vision automation, users can flexibly and cost-effectively adjust their machine-tending processes and set up new products quickly, with no major intervention by external service technicians. This Pickit3D solution from Advanced Motion & Controls is the leading 3D-vision option for bin picking, according to globally proved technology and case studies, and compatible with all major robot brands. It is easy to install and low-maintenance, and customers can integrate it seamlessly with new or existing robots. Pickit3D combines customized bin-picking engines with innovative camera hardware and lifecycle services.

 

This automation process by Pickit3D works for two types of bin picking:

 

• Semi-structured bin picking. Robots can pick parts from somewhat structured bins or pallets to load production lines with their 3D-vision systems. They can separate these parts by layers, either stacked or singulated.
• Random bin picking. Workers can have robots pick parts from bulk and load their production lines using the 3D-vision system. To find the positions and orientation of parts on trays, on bins, or in boxes, robots require eyes.

 

Customers have praised the way Pickit3D bin picking allows them to eliminate stacking: they can place bins in machines and then press start, and that is all. Pickit3D allows each part to be placed reliably on the shaping cell for further processing by a CNC saw in other scenarios, for instance. This solution is superior to noisy or expensive mechanical or manual billet feeding that many forges continue to rely on today. Check out the video below for a closer look:
