Application

Let your robot understand what it sees.

With the support of artificial intelligence and deep learning, Mech-Mind Robotics offers cost-effective and easy-to-implement solutions for bin picking. Whether it's a classic reachpick out of a box with sorted parts, or random bin picking with chaotic and heterogeneous parts - Mech-Mind Robotics enables any type of machine tending controlled by machine vision. 

Our AI is specialized in detecting bulk material or partially structured workpieces and calculating the optimal gripping point. Taking the singularities of each robot into account, a collision-free motion sequence is automatically calculated.

Core advantages of the Mech-Mind solution

Cost-effective 

In the field of AI-driven vision systems, made in China not only means state-of-the-art technology, but also an excellent price-performance ratio. Most of our 3D vision solutions provide our customers with an ROI of less than one year. 

Intelligent motion control

With optimal path planning and collision monitoring, Mech-Mind Robotics ensures particularly high stability and reliability even in challenging situations. Smart algorithms thus enable process-reliable solutions for every conceivable application in bin picking.

AI-supported and intelligent 

At the heart of Mech-Mind Robotics' all-in-one solutions is its sophisticated artificial intelligence. With the help of Deep Learning, robots recognize complex components and pick them up at the right place. This not only enables random bin picking of unsorted objects - it also  reduces the need for matching with CAD templates.

Quick and easy deployment

With the visualized and code-free programming interface Mech-Viz, robots can be controlled quickly and easily with just a few clicks. The entire motion sequence can also be simulated in advance and thus reliably checked. Mech-Mind Robotics thus meets the need for automation technologies that are as low-threshold and highly flexible as possible.

Process

Fast. Safe . Efficient.
More productivity in bin picking

If parts have to be picked from boxes in bulk or only partially pre-positioned, the use of bin picking is required. After the objects have been safely picked by a robot, they are precisely positioned for the next process step.

Precision

+/- 0.05 mm at 0.6 m distance, up to +/- 3.0 mm at 3 m distance.

Objects

Support of simple to complex geometries. Optimal recognition of all surface types, from matte to glossy, reflective or even partially transparent. Even colors do not play a role.

Cycle time

up to 3 seconds per cycle

Flexibility

Even dark or highly reflective parts with complex structures are reliably detected

Crankshafts are usually difficult to handle due to their structure and reflective surface. Thanks to the high-quality detection data of the Mech-Eye camera, the path planning can be easily adapted for the Mech-Viz robot controller. Collisions are thus reliably avoided.

Case Studies

Construction equipment manufacturer: Steel Plate Picking and Bending

The 3D vision system identifies randomly-stacked steel plates and guides the robot to pick and transport them to a specified area for bending. Even rust stains on the plates and complex-shaped parts are no problem for the Mech-Eye 3D cameras to generate high-quality point clouds. Intelligent path planning and collision detection algorithms guarantee a reliable and stable performance.

Steal treatment: Loading and Unloading of Train Wheels

Train wheels that are either red-hot or with a reflective surface can be a big challenge for vision-guided automation. Mech-Eye 3D cameras can generate high quality point cloud data of these objects, even under strong ambient light interference of >30,000 lux. With the included intelligent path planning and collision detection, the picking of the train wheels by the robot runs stable and reliable.

Construction equipment manufacturer: Bin Picking of track links

[Translate to Englisch:]

To increase efficiency with a guaranteed 24-hour production, Mech-Mind’s AI+3D industrial robot solutions enable the automation of bin picking of track links for a large construction equipment manufacturer. The 3D vision system recognizes and locates the track links piled in a deep bin, instructs the robot to grab one by one, double-check front and back side, and place them at a defined area in a fixed position. By using Mech-Eye Laser L, possible interferences of ambient light are significantly reduced and the camera can provide high precision pictures of a wide filed of view. Dozens of workstations have been automated, increasing the daily output up to over 1000 and reducing the costs by 60%.
