Process Overview

This deployment is a pick-and-place automation solution for handling steel plates on a press line, using PICKSYS 3D vision and Doosan collaborative robots(Cobots).

By combining 3D vision with cobots, the system can handle unstandardized (non-uniform) steel plates safely and efficiently. It automates tasks that operators typically avoid, improving overall operating efficiency and helping increase job satisfaction on the floor.

Project Background and Objectives

Automate undesirable tasks to help prevent operator turnover.
Replace high-payload, repetitive work with robots to help prevent musculoskeletal injuries and workplace incidents.
Maximize efficiency in repetitive loading/unloading work using a vision system.

Components

Robot	Doosan Robotics A0912 Payload: 9 kg Reach: 1,200 mm Pick-it L SD vision 3D camera Processor 3.0, cable set Set of three (3) region markers Robot calibration plate
Peripherals	PICKSYS frame Vacuum gripper Dedicated jig Harness OP switch

Workflow

STEP 1.	Steel plates are processed at the press line
STEP 2.	The 3D vision system detects each steel plate
STEP 3.	Detected plate data is transferred to the collaborative robot
STEP 4.	The cobot picks the steel plate using a vacuum gripper
STEP 5.	The vision system identifies the target placement position
STEP 6.	The cobot places the steel plate at the designated location.
