Bin Picking of Small Metal Parts with Hook-Shaped Features
Using the Eureka AI Vision System, we automated bin picking of small metal parts with complex hook-shaped features and their precise placement into dedicated fixtures. AI recognizes the position and orientation of parts that are challenging for 3D vision due to their metallic surfaces and complex shapes. A small suction cup picks each part at a designated point and accurately places it into the required position for the next process.
Challenge
Small metal parts with complex hook-shaped features are randomly piled and must be precisely placed into a dedicated fixture for the next process.
Process
The Eureka AI Vision System detects the position and orientation of each part. A small suction cup picks the part at a designated point and accurately places it into the fixture.
Solution
- Robust 3D perception: Consistently generates high-quality point clouds on parts with diverse materials and surface properties (metallic, plastic, reflective). Stable even during in-hand movement
- Intelligent part understanding: AI models recognize and pick complex, intricate geometries with high reliability
- Precise motion execution: Advanced motion planning and control enable accurate pick-and-place across varying orientations
Outcomes
Automated bin picking and precise fixture loading of small, complex-shaped metal parts
