4 essential tips for reliable 3D vision powered bin picking
Want to improve the performance of your 3D vision bin picking application?
Here are four expert tips that will help you enhance reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.
-
1. Configure for maximum detectability
A solid 3D robot vision set-up is key. Configure your system to detect as many objects as possible in various scenes.
Use high-quality 3D models and fine-tune matching parameters for optimal detectability.
-
2. Optimize your gripper for flexibility
Your end-of-arm tool (EOAT) flexibility directly impacts performance.
Choose or design a gripper that adapts to part orientation while maintaining a compact workspace.
-
3. Tune up your robot programming
Program the robot to reduce stops, optimize waypoints, and adjust speeds to ensure smooth operation.
For 3D vision applications, processing the part detection during robot movement can cut cycle times and boost overall performance.

4. Build a robust and fail-safe process
Integrate control elements (Poka-Yoke) to verify each process step is executed correctly.
For example, check object orientation before placement to prevent errors and to improve reliability.
