AI + 3D Vision-Guided Loading and Unloading of Reflective Rolled Steel Rings

Customer Demand

A large heavy machinery manufacturer required an automated solution for loading and unloading rolled steel rings and metal plates. The parts are heavy and highly reflective, making reliable detection challenging for traditional vision solutions. In addition, the pallets and parts exhibit positioning deviations, and dividers are placed between individual parts, further increasing handling complexity. The customer thus required an AI-powered 3D vision solution to improve process stability and overall efficiency.

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

Workflow:

Mech-Mind’s "Eye + Brain" solution combines high-precision 3D cameras and AI software suites. It enables robots to accurately detect highly reflective rolled steel rings and metal plates, autonomously plan grasping paths, and perform stable loading and unloading operations.

Advantages:

  • Powered by a 3D imaging algorithm tailored for reflective parts, the Mech-Eye high-precision 3D camera captures high-quality 3D point clouds of highly reflective rolled steel rings and metal plates.

  • Adapts to a position misalignment of ±50 mm.

  • Enables stable pick-and-place operations without collisions, powered by our self-developed path planning and collision detection algorithms.

  • No fixture customization required, delivering fast efficiency.

Results:

  • Improved operation efficiency, stability, and overall productivity.

  • Achieved highly flexible, intelligent, and high-throughput production.
