PickMan
PickMan is EnShape’s own high-performance software solution for random pick & place tasks. Secure and efficient gripping is possible in combination with the fast 3D sensors of EnShape.
Characteristics and Benefits
- Software for high-performance Random Pick & Place („Bin Picking“)
- Fast Post-Processing in milliseconds includes:
- Objects can be arbitrary shape or parametrized
- Container detection (edge detection)
- Emptiness detection
- Object detection and pick point determination
- Collision calculation with the container, surrounding parts and own gripper models
- Pick points are transfered directly into the robots coordinate system
- Robust edge detection even with partial superposition in 80 milliseconds!
- Connects directly with your robotics (via Ethernet)
- Individual process parameters adaptable to the application
- Combined with EnShape 3D sensors a total pick point determination time can be realized with less than 400 milliseconds
- Rapid post-processing and reliable collision detection guarantee a high robustness, flexibility and safety coupled with a high cycle rate
- Situational Bin Picking – No fixed robot paths but intelligent pick movements
High Profitability
- Efficient and easy operation
- Low initial costs
- Easy installation and rapid integration into existing processes
- Huge variety of parts can be processed
- In combination with the EnShape 3D Sensors PickMan allows a unique high level of automation
Potential Applications
- Random Pick & Place applications – „Bin Picking“
- Component localization for assembly automation
- Order picking and high speed sorting of products
- Assistance system for robot applications
