Case Study | Alson 3D vision-guided bin picking of cables
Traditional manual boxing
Cable is an indispensable accessory for 3C electronic products, with different categories such as power cords, data cables etc., different sizes and different packaging methods. Although some enterprises has used conveyor belts and other mechanical mechanism in the packaging link, but in the sorting and packing linkof cable and other small parts is still by traditional manual methods. with the labor market shortage of the prominent, the enterprise have to increase costinput in the packaging link.
It's time to change the traditional production mode, ALSONTECH 3Dvision system and flexible robots will provide automatic cable sorting and packing solutions. The users will get an efficient packaging production line, a set of equipment can replace 2~4 workers to realize 7*24 operations. According to different orders to flexibly switch packaging materials, accuracy and efficiencyis effectively guaranteed, and manpower and management costs will be further reduced.
Adapt to any incoming method
The cable is a flexible workpiece, the user can dump or place the same kindof workpieces into the bin randomly. ALSONTECH 3Dvision system can set multiple grabbing positions for different incoming methods through the implementation of point cloud algorithms and AI algorithms, improve the overall grasping accuracy, reduce leftovers, leakage.
Applicable to different surface characteristics
The cable mainly has black surface, which is difficult to image when overlapped placed, and it is easy to misidentify. Generally, users will also bundle and pre-pack before packing, and the surface cable ties, plastic film,information labels and other packaging materials will create certain identification interference. ALSONTECH has different types of structured-light 3D cameras that can easily solve these challenges, and these interference factors won’t influence the recognition.
High safety and clearing rate
Effective collision avoidance strategies
o Whether standard turnover boxes or cartons are used for loading on site,the algorithm can avoid the risk of collision between the fixture and the bin wall;
o If there is a risk of collision with the pre-gripping point and otherworkpiece, the algorithm adjusts the gripping position to avoid collision.
Stable HD frame rate
o Combined with the project experience, the clearance rate of cablegrabbing can reach >99%;
o ALSONTECH hasexperienced technical engineers who can provide selectionand implementation solutions, and give reasonable suggestions for gripperdesign, mechanism deployment, etc., so as to improve the overall graspingaccuracy and efficiently
High gripping efficiency
o For general projects, the average effective grabbing cycle can be<4s;
o It is recommended that users use the 3Dcamera fixed installation modein the field, which can be run in parallel with the robot and does not take upthe overall cycle except for the first scan.
