TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL 3D Scanners making easy work for factory Bin-Picking
variety of formats, each using different mechanics to capture depth information. Besides metrology, quality control and trajectory correction; bin picking applications are the most common use, producing a financial payoff even with the most basic of applications. One unique and very successful solution has been developed by Photoneo with their PhoXi 3D scanners. Using a laser light pattern projector that emits a set of coding patterns onto the target scene, interpreted by a single camera, it reconstructs a point cloud. The PhoXi capturing and processing pipeline is capable of delivering 16 million measurements per second, either in 3.2 megapixels at five fps, or 0.8 megapixels at 20 fps. Photoneo explain, ‘All calculations of point cloud and normal vectors are made inside the PhoXi device, so we don’t waste client computer power on our calculations. Our scanners use the ‘structured pattern approach’ so we cover a larger area in one shot. It helps us to make applications faster and meet tough cycle times.’
A
s more robotic arms are introduced into factories, so are the need for 3D scanners and cameras, give these robots their ‘eyes to see’. 3D imaging can be achieved by a
PhoXi scanners are particularly suitable for robot handling bin picking applications,
where randomly placed, semi-oriented objects can be picked from a container or pallet and placed on a conveyor belt. This high scan quality allows parts to be picked that are positioned randomly and
place them directly where needed without further orientation handling. What’s more, the scanners are compatible with multiple industrial robot brands.
