Inspection of Pantographs

Pantograph inspection using machine vision lasers and a camera system enables highly precise and efficient monitoring of the condition of current collectors. This makes it possible to generate detailed images that can be analyzed to identify wear, damage, or other issues, allowing for preventive maintenance.

Bin Picking

Triangulation sensors scan the inside of randomly loaded mesh containers before each pick and recalculate the arrangement of the parts inside. This information is passed on to the robot, which can then pick the next part. A laser projector also reliably displays the corresponding pick compartment as well as additional information such as quantity.
