IDS case study: Four "eyes" see more than two
Automatic loading and unloading of pressed parts through 3D container inspection
Robots handle monotonous work processes and less pleasant, repetitive tasks with excellence. Combined with image processing, they become "seeing" and reliable supporters of humans and thus increase the efficiency of entire production lines.
An automobile manufacturer is taking advantage of this to improve the cycle time of its press lines. Together with this manufacturer, VMT Vision Machine Technic Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH from Mannheim, Germany, developed the robot-based 3D measuring system FrameSense for the fully automatic loading and unloading of containers. Pressed parts are safely and precisely inserted into or removed from containers. Four 3D cameras from the new Ensenso C-Series from IDS provide the basic data and thus the platform for process automation.
