The PLB system was developed for precise localization of parts in bins and boxes. It mobilizes the CAD-based teach-in of new parts for easy configuration of new applications and supports short pick-to-pick cycle times and high throughput.
The system comprises a 3D camera and part localization software along with additional tools for easy integration with the robot and communication with a higher-level controller. The camera delivers accurate and reliable 3D images and is unaffected by ambient artificial light.
The field-proven tools and functions for alignment of the PLB system with the robot coordinate system, communication with the robot and verification of collision-free gripper positioning relative to the part make it a simple matter to integrate the system in production. Both the software and hardware are designed to be used out of the box, so you can begin to use the system productively without further preparations.
