2D random picking of telecom lenses
Handling small glass lenses for optical fibers has traditionally relied on manual labor due to the extreme precision required. However, automation has been made possible with Pytagoras, Eureka Robotics’ ultra-high-precision random bin picking technology.
Process
Plano-convex glass lenses, less than 0.8 mm thick, are placed randomly in a basket with varying orientations.
Using Eureka’s 2D image recognition technology, a robot identifies and picks up each lens individually, then inserts it into a cleaning jig with a clearance precision of 0.2 mm.
After cleaning, the lenses are automatically placed into shipping boxes with a positional accuracy of 0.5 mm, ready for shipment.
