Vision engineering Production line solutions save on lead-times and costs “We can rapidly produce lightweight and cost- effective parts and plan to extend our use of this technology” Oliver Selby, Design Engineer This “vision engineering system” effectively enables a robot to see an object’s location, orientation, measurement and identity giving the robot the flexibility to handle items of different shapes and size at the same time. On a fast-moving production line, the expensive camera can be vulnerable to damage. FANUC came to 3T-am looking for a housing that offered good protection whilst retaining quick access to the camera. FANUC Robotics, one of the world’s leading companies in factory automation, has integrated cameras onto its robotic arms using additive manufac
