The Pickit Billet Picker offers a transformative solution for billet handling in forges, replacing outdated mechanical systems with cutting-edge automation.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 /

IDS ENSENSO N SERIES
Working distance 270-3000 mm
No reviews yet.
The Ensenso N-Series is designed specifically for use in rough environmental conditions. Thanks to its compact design, the N-Series is equally suitable for 3D detection of moving and stationary objects in a space-saving stationary or mobile application on a robot arm. Even under difficult lighting conditions, the integrated projector projects a high-contrast texture onto the object using a pattern mask with a random dot pattern, thus filing in the structures that are not present or only weakly present on the object's surface. All cameras are pre-calibrated and therefore easy to set up. Industrial suitabilityThe lockable GPIO connectors for trigger and flash also make all models suitable for industrial use. For particularly high demands on robustness, both Ensenso N30 and Ensenso N40 3D camera series are available with IP65/67 protection class and thus protected against dirt, dust, splash water or cleaning agents. Lightweight and cost-optimised - the N40 seriesThe completely decoupled 3D stereo electronics of the new N40 series allows the use of a lightweight plastic composite as housing material, which makes it possible to manufacture the 3D camera family more cost-effectively.The reduced weight also makes Ensenso N40 models applicable to collaborative robotic arms, whose driving forces are limited to protect the human colleague. The haptics of the plastic surface and rounded edges also help to minimise injuries. For highest demands - the N30 seriesThe aluminium housing of the N30 models ensures optimum heat dissipation of the electronic components and thus a stable light output even under extreme environmental conditions. This ensures the consistently high quality and robustness of the 3D data.The metal construction also allows a very flexible and robust mounting of the CMOS sensors with vergence angles of 2° to 10°, which makes it possible to realise application scenarios with very short object distances.
