The advantages of the 3D Handling System at a glance

  • Automation of manual gripping and positioning tasks: The 3D Handling System takes over processes that were previously carried out manually, providing more efficient production workflows.
  • Reliable detection of demanding objects: Even transparent, glossy or other surface features that are difficult to detect, including complex shapes, can be handled with process reliability.
  • Easy setup with no specialist knowledge: Load a CAD file, configure the application and start straight away with no extensive parameter configuration.
  • Greater process reliability: The integrated collision avoidance reduces the risk of damage to the robot, grippers and the system.
  • Stable workflows with less downtime: Automated processes increase the shift capacity and deliver reproducible results.
  • More rapid ROI: Higher quality, shorter cycle times and 24/7 operation facilitate faster amortization.

What is 3D bin picking?

3D bin picking enables robots to pick randomly arranged parts from bins, boxes, or other containers and position them for the next step in the process. In the 3D Handling System, an AI-based vision system provides the 3D data required for reliable gripping and positioning.

Our solution combines two field-proven industrial VISOR® cameras from SensoPart with integrated illumination and an automatic focus function, AI-based evaluation software from Cambrian as well as a powerful computing unit for local processing. The result is a comprehensive solution that captures image data and interprets it spatially to deliver precise position information.

What bin picking applications is the 3D Handling System suitable for?

Our system comes into its own where traditional image processing often reaches its limits: with unorganized bulk materials, irregular shapes, reflective surfaces, transparent components or changing illumination conditions. Now it is also possible to automate applications that previously required manual handling or involved considerable effort for integration and parameter configuration.

Frequently asked questions on 3D bin picking 

No. The 3D Handling System is designed so that no in-depth image-processing knowledge is required. Setup is carried out by uploading a CAD model and configuring the application – with no need for time-consuming manual parameter configuration.

Once the application has been reviewed, the CAD data are used to train the AI model in the cloud. In operation, two VISOR® cameras capture the scene and the data are processed locally on a Linux PC equipped with a high-performance GPU. The robot is given the 3D pose data for the gripping process.

Traditional image processing often requires a great deal of configuration and quickly reaches its limits when dealing with variable orientations, complex shapes, reflective surfaces or unorganized bulk materials. Our system combines VISOR® hardware with AI-based 3D analysis and CAD-based cloud training to make complex picking tasks more accessible and reliable.
