PLR: ACCURATE PART LOCALIZATION FOR RELIABLE ROBOT HANDLING

Description:

  • Automated handling of sheet metal components makes car body manufacturing or household appliance manufacturing more efficient. The displacement of parts in their containers, if by only a few millimeters, poses risks however. Without a reliable guidance system, a robot may not be able to grip a part, thereby causing an unplanned stop. Or it may miss the designated gripping positions and cause damage to the part or other components.
  • is a system designed for robotic handling of parts in carriers. It is a stand-alone device that comes complete with everything needed for easy setup, simple integration with the robot, and swift maintenance of the system in operation. The system is operated via an integrated web server and can be set up in no time at all.
  • The PLR robot guidance system ensures accurate and reliable performance even if a part is not perfectly placed. It combines 2D and 3D vision for accurate 6DoF measurement, and its automated gripper correction calculation compensates positioning deviations for problem-free parts handling. PLR is factory-calibrated with preloaded software, meaning it is ready to use right out of the box.
