Distance measurement

For further processing, stacked housing parts must be removed from a material container and placed in the correct position. This requires determining the current stack height in order to use it to align the robot gripper, including the cameras mounted on it, at the correct working distance for determining the position.

A large number of screws are processed during the assembly of a battery pack. Bunker feed systems are used to stock these screws. In order to avoid an interruption in production, it is important to be informed in good time that screws need to be replenished.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are playing an increasingly significant role in intralogistics. They are used for autonomous transportation of objects between warehouses and production lines, as well as between individual production steps. Distance sensors are necessary for AGVs to recognize the position of objects, e.g. on shelves.

Punched, milled or cut holes in metal sheets are checked for dimensional accuracy during assembly.
