Part : Heat treatment tray

Integrator: SIIF

Robot: Kuka

Camera: Visionerf 3D vision system

The part is loaded into the cell via a turntable without mechanical referencing.

It is then scanned and localized in its entirety (global registration) using a 3D scanner designed by Visionerf. The position of the part is then transmitted to the robot in 3 translations and 3 rotations, so that it can pick it up. In a second step, the vision algorithm focuses solely on the cloud of points of the casting jets to obtain their precise positions (local registration) and thus know where to cut. Using this data, the robot is able to move the part to precisely remove the casting jets, despite deviations in shape from the theoretical part.

In short, for this application, vision makes it possible to dispense with mechanical referencing for greater flexibility, and to adapt robot trajectories to part variations and deformations (such as shrinkage and curvature).
