The customer built a new automated machining line and introduced a 3D vision system to guide robots for depalletizing and machine loading of stacked slip-on flange blanks. The rough-machined parts are dark ring-shaped workpieces stacked together in large piles. Their poses are irregular, and the overall stack size requires large field-of-view coverage.
The customer selected an ALSONTECH large-FOV laser 3D camera, mounted at a higher position to cover large stacks. The system is highly compatible with dark and black light-absorbing workpieces, accurately obtains part pose coordinates, and guides the robot for precise picking, reducing labor intensity and improving automation efficiency.
