3D vision module boosts robotic bin picking

A 3D add-on module for combining a number of cameras for stereo vision and 3D modelling is shortly to be enhanced with 3D Vision for random bin picking using robots.

Random bin picking is the ability of vision-guided robot arms to locate and pick individual parts from a jumble of parts piled haphazardly from the picking container.

In a report sent to Manufacturingtalk, Scorpion Vision said that this development promises to enable great savings for manufacturers because incoming loads do not need to be unpacked by manual workers.

Scorpion Vision Software now includes a 3D add-on module for combining a number of cameras for stereo vision and 3D modelling.

It will shortly to be enhanced with 3D Vision for random bin picking and so Scorpion Vision has scheduled a free robot vision workshop event to coincide with the launch of this technology.

The event will demonstrate Scorpion Vision software and its natural place as a robot vision technology.

Using ABB's excellent robot training suite in Milton Keynes, UK, Scorpion Vision engineers will be running a workshop on creating a vision application without any programming, interfacing to robots and demonstrating the overall capability of the vision software.

The event is scheduled for the afternoon of October 4, 2007.

Further details are available from Scorpion Vision.
