Bin-picking software LHRobotics.Vision
Demo application with a camera system and bin picking container.
Wick AG, an integrator of robotics systems in Switzerland, has added Liebherr's bin picking software. The open concept of LHRobotics.Vision enables a flexible combination of camera systems and robots from different manufacturers, while also being intuitive and extremely easy to operate.
When searching for a suitable bin picking system, Wick AG had already carried out various tests but had not found a suitable solution until being introduced to the technology package of Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH.
"We had given a great deal of thought to the topic of bin picking for quite some time, but had not found a satisfactory system," said Hanspeter Müller, Head of Special Projects & Software at Wick AG. "With LHRobotics.Vision, it was different, the large range of functions, the intuitive operation and the reliable parts recognition impressed us immediately."
The LHRobotics.Vision software is a component of a technology package for bin picking, i.e., robot-supported removal of unsorted parts from a container. The smart solution is available in two functional scopes: The basic license includes scanning and gripping, while the professional license also includes the stacking plan. The possibility of simulating processes is also available as an option, and all presented on a clear, intuitively operated interface. A Zivid camera system is integrated into the package as standard, but the system also allows the easy integration of sensors from other manufacturers.
"We place great importance on an open concept that enables maximum flexibility for users and integrators," said Jürgen Groß, Sales Manager for Cells and Flexible Manufacturing Systems at Liebherr-Verzahntechnik GmbH. Optionally, search parameters for parts can be automatically optimized with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). This reduces the set-up time to just a few minutes.
Hanspeter Müller explained the advantages of the software: "It extends our solution range by providing real added value for our customers. For example, the mechanical separation with vibratory bowls is replaced by a more stable, smarter automation system."
