Bin Picking Unpolished Metal for CNC Machining
Customer
The customer is a multinational company headquartered in Asia that specializes in chemical glass manufacturing.
Case
Automating CNC Machine Loading
The customer had a bin containing unpolished metal workpieces that needed to be identified, picked, and placed into CNC machines for polishing.
Challenge
Precision Bin Picking for CNC Machining
This process demands a highly precise solution due to a combination of factors: large picking distances exceeding 1250mm within the bin, challenging workpiece characteristics like unpolished metal surfaces that can be difficult for traditional vision systems to identify, and a strict +/- 1mm picking accuracy requirement to avoid collisions or gripping failures during the process.
