Robot vision for reliable robot guidance
When operators manually find, turn and place parts, presentation determines how that work can be automated responsibly. Sedeco develops the vision chain from imaging and part pose to calibration, robot control and recovery.
Appropriate automation level
Part presentation determines how much vision is required
We choose the simplest approach that covers all permitted production variation. This reduces engineering, changeover time and maintenance without compromising reliability.
2D robot guidance
For parts on a known plane where position and rotation in the image plane are sufficient.
3D robot guidance
For visible parts with variable height, tilt or spatial orientation.
3D bin picking
For randomly piled parts requiring grasp selection, reachability and collision checking for every pick.
From image to motion
A robot cell is only as strong as its complete chain
Part pose
Contour, feature, model or AI determines where and how the part lies.
Calibration
Camera, robot and tooling are connected in a repeatable coordinate chain.
Control
Pose, quality status and error codes are transferred reliably to robot and PLC.
Implementation
From trial to manageable production
We define parts, presentation, tolerance, cycle time, gripper and exceptions. We then test extreme conditions, build the interface and validate normal production, changeovers and recovery.
Business case
Calculate with the actual line, not a camera specification
Compare manual hours, ergonomic load, required capacity, rejects, changeover and operator interventions with camera, robot, gripper, engineering, safeguarding, training and maintenance. A representative trial provides the measurements for a defensible investment decision.
Feasibility
Start with parts and process limits
Share representative parts, current infeed, robot platform, gripper and required process outcome. We determine the trial needed and the appropriate automation level.
