In automated production lines for machining, stamping, die casting, and other processes, loading and unloading are common applications. Workpieces often vary in position, orientation, and consistency. As production models become more flexible, multiple workpiece types are increasingly processed at the same workstation, with frequent changeovers based on production orders. Traditional fixed tooling and manual robot teaching can no longer meet the demands of flexible manufacturing.

The 3D Vision-Guided Loading and Unloading Solution uses high-quality industrial 3D cameras and application algorithms to acquire the 3D position and orientation of workpieces, automatically locate target parts, and output accurate picking coordinates to the robot for loading operations. The system can also scan and locate trays, racks, and other placement fixtures, guiding the robot to pick parts, adjust their orientation, and complete unloading and placement operations.
