AI + 3D Vision-Guided Bin Picking of Crankshafts

Mech-Mind General-Purpose "Eye + Brain" for Robots

Workflow:

Mech-Mind's “Eye + Brain” solution (including high-precision 3D cameras and AI software suites) equips robots with perception and guidance to rapidly detect randomly stacked crankshafts, verify part presence and orientation, and execute precise pick-and-place into repositioning fixtures for downstream processing. The system is engineered for seamless integration with AGVs and line conveyors to maintain smooth material flow.

Advantages:

1. The Mech-Eye LSR L-GLhigh-precision 3D camera, featuring high accuracy and a large field of view (FOV), generates high-quality 3D point clouds of overlapping crankshafts.

2. Maintains reliable camera performance even under demanding lighting conditions (>30,000 lx).

3. Obtains detailed point clouds of crankshafts with dark surfaces and complex structures.

4. Maintains accurate recognition despite interference from reflective plastic film in the bin, reducing rework while improving yield.

5. Precisely verifies part orientation and guides stable robotic motions for consistent cycle times and improved pick accuracy.

6. Integrates motion-planning and collision-detection algorithms for smooth, safe operations with minimal downtime.

7. Works efficiently with AGVs and conveyors, minimizing idle time and increasing line throughput.

8. Adapts quickly to multiple crankshaft types for rapid deployment and shorter changeovers.

  Results:

• Consistent cycle times and higher accuracy

• Minimizes idle time and boosts line throughput

• Rapid deployment and shorter changeovers
