PICK & PLACE
Pick and place tasks are among the common production operations in which industrial robots are used.
Robots equipped with machine vision technology enhance classic "pick and place" applications (where the robot always takes parts from the same position and places them in the same position) with additional application possibilities. This usually involves removing parts from a continuous conveyor and then positioning them for further production operations.
ROBOTIC REMOVAL AND FOUNDATION OF NON - ORIENTED PARTS
The robotic removal and loading of non-oriented free-lying parts represents an advanced stage of automation solutions in production. The use of a robot with a smart camera allows for the complete replacement of the operator. The device is able to work with a wider range of products and meet the required cycle time.
The robot removes the products from two vibrating feeders and then places them in the assembly carousel. Above each feeder is a Cognex camera with a high resolution, which allows precise guidance of the robot to the removal position (+/- 0.1 mm). The cameras look for the exact position of the parts on the translucent plates in backlight. In order to be able to remove even partially covered products, the products are also scanned under the top lighting, during which it is determined which component is located at the top. For spatial parts, the pick-up position in 3D space is mathematically corrected.

PLACING RUBBER ELEMENTS INTO SIEVES
A robotic workplace based on the SCARA robot - Staubli TS80 was designed for the automated insertion of rubber elements into metal sieves. The robot is equipped with a universal gripper for working with four types of parts. The parts are fed and oriented to the robot by means of vibrating circular and linear conveyors and then placed in positions on the sieve.
The individual loading positions on the sieve are deformed in shape due to the effect of temperature, i.e. they do not lie in one plane. In order to reliably determine the loading positions, the robot is equipped and guided with a Cognex smart camera. This allows reliable determination of the place of insertion.
