True 3D Bin Picking

Bin Picking has been attempted for many years, but never truly solved… until now!

Historically, Bin Picking systems used 2D and 2.5D techniques to determine the position of products needing to be picked.  Recently, many systems have begun to use true 3D (or at least claimed true 3D!), but the quality of the 3D data was still very restricting.

In recent years 3D technology has improved enormously and we can now offer a reliable solution for Bin Picking, making previously impossible tasks achievable and saving cost and time.

Photoneo’s award-winning Bin Picking Studio (BPS) is capable of processing objects from a variety of materials that are randomly distributed in unorganized bins and feeding them into the manufacturing production line. The heart of this ground-breaking solution is the PhoXi 3D scanner which has unrivaled performance when imaging complex 3D scenes.  The Phoxi-3D uses unique fringe pattern projection technology to produce outstanding, ultra clean point clouds of object surfaces and enables truly accurate 3D surface reconstruction that results in the incredibly accurate picking of objects.

This truly unique Bin Picking system also handles robot path planning and collision avoidance to guide robots for safe object extraction.
