Conveyor belt picking - CPR

Go to application

Every conveyor belt (almost) always has a delta robot.
In this case, cream jars are sorted into blister packs in the cosmetics industry. A typical pick & place application at the end of the manufacturing process. 

The problem

Since the jars are detected depending on their position and have to be rotated, the camera system records both the position on the belt and the position on the head. The system must be able to achieve high speed both in the detection and in the pick & place task.


 

The solution

The application consists of a conveyor belt, a 3-axis delta robot, a camera system and the igus Robot Control, which combines all elements in the software and makes an automated pick & place application possible.
