Application example

2D vision-guided robotics with integrated distance measurement

Cover

The task

In automobile production, removing body parts like car doors from load carriers is a critical process. A robot must safely and precisely pick up these components. To achieve this, a sensor must provide the robot with exact position data.

The challenge

The required distance measurements vary depending on how many components remain on the load carrier. Additionally, detecting shiny, reflective surfaces – such as metallic car parts – can be difficult.

Our solution

The VISOR® Robotic +Z combines a vision sensor for robotics with an integrated distance sensor in a single device. This dual functionality enhances the VISOR® Robotic by providing precise depth information for distances ranging from 150 mm to 2500 mm. The integrated projection laser reliably detects varying distances, allowing the VISOR® Robotic to evaluate them precisely and transmit the data directly to the robot.
This solution offers two key advantages:
Faster cycle times – With precise distance data, the robot can quickly approach the component without the risk of a collision.
Increased accuracy – The integrated distance measurement ensures the robot positions itself with extreme precision when picking up components.
