Products & services
2D Grasping Kit - Vision-based gripping - The application kit for handling individual objects randomly arranged on a plane.
In many industrial manufacturing operations, randomly arranged and non-positioned parts are picked from a inlet belt conveyor, tray or preparation table. They are then further processed, separated or fed to a machine. Automated handling using robots, grippers and vision systems is demanding and requires experience in image processing, lighting and process technology. With its 2D Grasping Kit, SCHUNK is now offering a complete solution that makes it much easier to get started with automated object handling. Automated to optimal grip The perfectly matched application kit for gripping and placing non-position-oriented workpieces consists of a camera system and lens, an application-specific gripping system, SCHUNK's own industrial PC (SVC) as well as a plug-in for easy integration into the robot control system. The core of the system is the AI software developed by SCHUNK, which ensures reliably recognition, even under changing light conditions. All components in the kit are precisely matched to each other and are process reliable.
SCHUNK Gripping Systems
Originally started with pneumatic grippers, SCHUNK now offers electric grippers, magnetic grippers, adhesive grippers, and special grippers.
