Pickit 3D Billet Picker Specifications
Ranked Nr. 17 of 93 3D Vision Systems
The Pickit Billet Picker offers a transformative solution for billet handling in forges, replacing outdated mechanical systems with cutting-edge automation. By utilizing the Billet Picker alongside a robot, noisy vibrating feeders are replaced with a streamlined billet flow that saves space and reduces noise. The Billet Picker boasts exceptional durability, resulting in low maintenance costs compared to traditional methods. Additionally, its integrated design eliminates the need for custom gripper solutions, leading to substantial cost savings in design and integration efforts. This tool stands out as the only proven option for successful bin picking in forge environments, making it a game-changer for industrial automation in this sector.
Key to the Billet Picker's efficiency is its End Of Arm Tool (EOAT), which seamlessly integrates with the Pickit 3D vision system and specialized software for precise robotic billet handling. The innovation lies in its unique gripper, featuring an adaptable tooltip equipped with a magnet on a rotational axis. This patent-pending gripper concept enables the Billet Picker to excel in versatility and performance. Notably, the Billet Picker's compatibility with specific software systems, coupled with its tolerance for extreme temperatures, adds to its specialized capabilities. This adaptability to harsh environments underscores its unique position in industrial automation, offering a reliable solution where conventional methods fall short.

Extra info | This concept comes with the following advantages: Maximizes the likelihood in finding a pickable part compared to a classical straight or slanted tool. This is because the tooltip (in this case, the magnet fingers) can adopt any position within a continuous range between -45 to +45 degrees, instead of only one (straight tool) or two (slanted/eccentric tool) discrete positions / Helps to minimize the required robot workspace and footprint for the robot cell / Simplifies the picking motions. As a consequence, there is no need for third-party motion planning software. The robot can be programmed in its native language without additional costs / Helps to extract partly blocked parts or parts close to a bin wall thanks to the tooltip that enables billets to rotate away from the blocking parts or the bin wall when being pulled up / |
