Vision Sensor for Robotic Warehousing Application



FANUC America, supplier of robotics, CNCs, ROBOMACHINEs and Industrial IoT solutions, recently demonstrated robotic bin picking with the M-710iC/45M material handling robot and new 3DV/1600 vision sensor.

The M-710iC/45M robot equipped with the 3DV/1600 vision sensor quickly finds and snaps boxes of varying sizes and shapes in a large bin. The robot picks each package and drops it into another bin. Once the bin is empty, the sensor moves to the full bin and the cycle repeats. The demonstration highlights how the use of robotic vision is an ideal solution for applications in the warehousing, logistics and e-commerce markets.

The new 3DV/1600 vision sensor is lightweight and works as a fixed or robot-mounted 3D vision camera. The new sensor can quickly snap 3D images over a Z range of 2M, with a max field of view of 2,700 mm square, which is ideal for bin picking or line tracking large parts. The 3DV/1600 is part of FANUC's iRVision suite of fully integrated and complete machine vision products for robot guidance and inspection. "FANUC designs all of its vision hardware and software specifically for FANUC robots, providing customers with solutions that meet their production needs, and saves them the time and expense required by third-party vision suppliers," said a company spokesperson.

The 6-axis M-710iC/45M robot is a member of the family of M-710iC material handling robots with payload capabilities ranging from 12 kg to 70 kg. The robot provides high-speed operation, a 2,606 mm reach and 45 kg payload. It features a slim wrist, rigid arm and compact size that allow it to work well in tight spaces, and a long reach and 6-axis articulation.
