Bin Picking Dynamic Vision System
Midwest Engineered Systems designed and built a Tube Bin Picking, Orientation and Machine Loading Application System.
The Challenge
Design a fully automated multi-station press for HVAC header tubes. The machine must automatically load:
-
Header Tubes (variety of part configurations)
-
Baffles
-
End Caps
-
Parts must then be automatically assembled and sorted by part type.
The Solution
Midwest Engineered Systems designed and built an automated system for the robotic loading of header tubes using:
-
Fanuc robotic system for bin picking with integrated machine vision system
-
Part identification using robotic vision
-
Part orientation using robotic vision
-
Robotic re-grip station to attain orientation
-
Magazine Loading Stamped Baffles
-
Vibratory bowl feeder loaded end caps
-
Servo driven electro-mechanical pressing
-
Laser part identification
-
Laser part position feedback
-
Recipe driven part press configuration
-
Linear cam driven assembly
Impact to the Customer
-
The MWES bin picking robotic vision system achieves a part rate of 1 part assembled every 6 seconds or less
-
Parts are automatically assembled, reducing secondary operation costs
-
The integrated robotic system sorts parts automatically by top and bottom header speeding identification and reducing operations time
