Automated bin picking with Pick-it and an ABB robot



Pick-it and ABB robots work together in perfect harmony. A mixed bin with steel billets is emptied using a magnetic gripper. The magnetic gripper has a passive rotation joint. This makes it possible to grasp billets with an inclination up to 35 degrees without the need to alter the z-axis. A fixed z-axis makes it possible to implement an easy and simple bin collision prevention strategy without the need for complex path planning and motion planning tools.

On top, the Pick-it vision software makes it possible to choose an inwards z-axis slope to enable picking parts that are at the side or in the corners.

Pick-it™ is a unique 3D robot vision solution that guides your robot to pick and place a wide range of products for various service applications: machine tending, bin picking, order picking, palletising, kitting and assembly. Your products can be picked from bins, buffer tables, trays, conveyor belts, pallets and shelves. Pick-it™ finds overlapping products of varying sizes, all colors matte and glossy and all materials also with reflective surfaces and keeps working even in changing and poor light conditions.

Pick-it integrates standard with Fanuc, ABB, universalrobots, Staubli and KUKA.
