Have robots pick unsorted parts from bins

Robots pick unsorted parts from bins and place them in the correct orientation

Needs setupAI Act: no extra obligationsLetting machines & robots work autonomouslyIndustry

Fits: Production, engineering & maintenance

The robot takes parts lying loose in bins or mesh boxes and places them in the correct orientation in the machine or workpiece carrier. Monotonous, often physically demanding loading by hand disappears, and the machine keeps running in shifts with few staff.

Is this for you?

  • Today you load parts from bins into machines by hand, often over several shifts.
  • The parts keep their shape, and there are only a few variants per cell.
  • Separating parts with vibratory bowl feeders or magazines does not suit your parts or is not worth it.
First step today

Use the template below to compile a list of [5 to 10] parts that are loaded by hand today, with dimensions, weight, material, surface and cycle time. The AI assistant shows which parts are good candidates and where it gets difficult. Do not enter drawings, customer names or prices.

How to go about it

  1. Define parts, bins and cycle time
  2. Draw up a safety concept for the robot cell
  3. Choose camera, gripper and software
  4. Commission the cell under supervision
  5. Approve further parts and shifts
  6. Check pick rate and cell continuously
