Andrew Williams explores the vision solutions for robot bin picking
Photoneo will exhibit its MotionCam-3D camera, which won the 2018 Vision award at the Vision trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany. CTO, Tomas Kovacovsky, will give a presentation about the area-based 3D camera, designed for sensing in rapid motion and at high accuracy.
Photoneo (booth 8168) will demonstrate a robot cell run by the Bin Picking Studio
Photoneo develops unique state-of-the-art 3D vision systems for advancing automation. Its versatile and easy to use products include the world's highest resolution and highest accuracy area-based PhoXi 3D Camera; award-winning PhoXi 3D Scanner family known for its high resolution, speed, and unbeatable performance in terms of noise and overall efficiency; comprehensive end-to-end Bin Picking solutions; and autonomous mobile robot Phollower 100.
Photoneo has announced that Adaptive Vision’s software now supports PhoXi 3D scanners. The company has also released its Locator software tool and 3D Localization SDK 1.2.2

Slovakian 3D imaging firm Photoneo has won the Vision Award innovation prize at the Vision trade fair in Stuttgart, held from 6 to 8 November
Photoneo (1I45) will showcase its newly launched PhoXi 3D camera for scanning in rapid motion, at high resolution and high accuracy.
The company will show three exhibits with PhoXi 3D scanners: AI-based quality inspection; automated 3D model creation; and AI-driven AnyPick, for picking almost any type of objects from 1 x 1cm, with a large depth of field, ambient light suppression, and 300-500 picks per hour, ideal for e-commerce and logistics.
Technology that advances 3D imaging, makes lenses more resistant to vibration, turns a CMOS camera virtually into a CCD, and makes SWIR imaging less expensive, are all innovations shortlisted for this year’s Vision Award, to be presented at the Vision show in Stuttgart
Robot bin picking has been worked on for a number of years, and while it has been shown to be possible it’s only now that the technology is coming to fruition. Greg Blackman looks at what was on display at Automatica
