3D Random Picking System
Product Outline
This is a robot system equipped with a 3D vision system. Under the 3D recognition of randomly arranged parts, the robot is able to produce a picking motion with automatically imaging the trajectory of such motion. We have succeeded in handling a part which position has not been fixed. All previous robot systems have failed to realize this technology.
Challenges before Product Development
The previous robot systems have not been able to pick a part randomly arranged in the box or produce equivalent motions, although they could handle one which position has been fixed. Also, while such systems became able to recognize the position of a part with using the 3D vision system, it took time to launch an on-site project because the robot teaching for not interfering in the box consumed vast amount of hours.
Points in Product Development
Building a perfectly teaching-less random picking system in cooperation with MUJIN INC., a robot controller manufacturer.
- Completing the robot teaching only by configuring the settings in an offline simulation
- MUJIN controller automatically calculates the trajectory of a motion, etc. from the posture of the work in its hand; No need of more than one teaching pattern, etc.
Random Picking Device Equipped with 3D Camera
Random Picking within Pallet
Able to pick a work randomly arranged in the box by recognizing it with a 3D camera
Conveyor Random Picking
Capable of picking a work randomly placed and positioned while recognizing it with a 3D camera and following the motion of a conveyor
Grinder Robot System
Product Outline
This is a system in which the robot with a 3D sensor and a grinder automatically recognizes the figure of a huge bulb used for nuclear generation facilities, etc. and engages in surface grinding processes. This system enables the robot to do the processing with tracking an appropriate trajectory against the intricately shaped surface.
Challenges before Product Development
The surface processing of a large-sized intricately shaped bulb used to be the crude processing manually and thoroughly done by workers with a grinder, being a very exhausting work for them. It took much time to achieve the automation of the relevant work because its variation in size made it difficult to recognize the object’s figure with a fixed camera from above and also because the teaching enabling the robot to do processing along a curved surface had a high level of difficulty.
Points in Product Development
Synthesizing respective images based on the coordinate of a robot with a laser scanner has made it possible for the robot to recognize the curved surface of an object in a large-sized work.
- A laser scanner and a grinder are switched to each other with an automatic tool changer.
- The point group data retrieved with a scanner has enabled the settings of the operating position and the speed of a robot, making the complicated imitative robot teaching unnecessary.
Universal Robot
Product Outline
The universal robot is a next-generation industrial one developed for the purpose of cooperative works with human. This is a small, lightweight and directly teachable robot so that anybody can do its teaching without difficulty.
Features
- A single person can move this robot because its main body is a lightweight one.
- Capable of doing cooperative works with human
- Able to set its power, speed and range of operation with using respective six shafts
- Directly teachable
- Possible to be installed on the floor, ceiling, wall and slope ground
- Able to be operated in a narrow space
- Easy to be programmed
- Capable of controlling the power by itself
- Equipped with a safety shutdown system in case of a collision with human
- Maintenance-free
- 100V single-phase electric power source (with an earth wire)
Automatic Conveyance System for Train Cars
Product Outline
This is a device that has enabled the conveyance of a train car within the factory for its maintenance. The conveyance system in cooperation with tracks build within the factory moves huge train cars. This is our original system firstly developed in the industry.
Challenges before Product Development
- To reduce the burden of workers through an automatic conveyance system who used to convey train cars by pushing them by their own hands (partially with a gasoline-powered trolley)
Points in Product Development
Automatic conveyance system using the control system
- Smooth conveyance to the next process
- Efficient use of spaces in the maintenance factory through the installation of the conveyance system in a bit
- Handling many types of train cars through the adjustment in the number of system units
