Comau has introduced MI.RA/PICKER, an intelligent advanced automation solution for perception-based random bin picking. Adaptable to any brand of commercial robot, customized bin or customized gripper, the fully automated picking solution uses two high-resolution laser sensors and a central camera to autonomously recognize, locate and grasp randomly placed objects at a rate of up to 40 pieces per minute (PPM).
Its streamlined virtual simulation tools and predictive algorithms provide optimal path management and collision-free trajectories. The turn-key solution combines 3D vision technology, dual sensors and an intuitive programming interface to deliver picking precision and efficiency for single or multiple bins containing unorganized rigid parts whose orientation and arrangement is unpredictable. And because products can be dumped into bins instead of placed in an orderly manner, MI.RA/Picker reduces upstream process times while ensuring a simplified logistic flow without singularization of the parts or rigid fixtures.
MI.RA/Picker is suitable for the food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, plastics, electric/ electronics, metal and machinery and automotive industries.
