Robotic 3D Bin Picking

3D Bin Picking

This robotic 3D vision bin picking cell was supplied to a leading Tier-1 manufacturer of commercial drivetrain systems. The system picks raw components at the start of a production cycle, laser marking and palletising them.

System Description

The solution supplied by Premier Automation comprises of an ABB robot and a magnetic gripping system, paired with the Keyence CV-X480D 3D vision-guided bin picking system.
 
Components are fed into the system scattered and in random orientations in a large wooden bin. The 3D bin picking vision system takes a 3D image of the components, requiring no mechanical orientation, sorting, or feeding to pick them.

The magnetic gripper allows picking from a large variation of orientations, a picked component is taken to a datum station, before being re-picked and loaded to a Keyence MD-X laser marker.

​
Once the laser mark is confirmed via code reader, the parts are then placed into an nested pallet, to be taken via AGV to the next step in production.
