Automotive Production
Case Studies
The automotive industry is one of the most important industries in the world and is changing at an unprecedented pace.
Modern cars are more complex than ever and require more processes in manufacturing. This underlines the importance of automated production lines that improve production efficiency, productivity and product quality.
By combining AI technology and 3D vision, Mech-Mind gives today's industrial robots tomorrow's capabilities and takes industrial automation to the next level. Mech-Mind has helped more than 1,000 system integrators, OEMs and suppliers stay ahead with reliable automation solutions.
Car Door Panels
Automation for car production
In this case study, Mech-Eye 3D cameras enable automated handling of door panels in car body manufacturing using 3D vision guided robots.
Stamping Parts
Automated racking at end-of-line
In this case study, Mech-Eye 3D cameras enable automated racking of stamping parts into receiving containers and provide a more efficient end-of-line process.
Batteries
Assembly of battery modules
In this case study, Mech-Eye 3D cameras enable the automated assembly and installation of battery modules in the body of electric cars.
Gearbox housings
Picking and Placing
In this case study, Mech-Eye 3D cameras enable the automated detection, picking and placing of extremely complex shaped gearbox housings.
Tires
Warehouse automation
To improve warehouse operations, Japan's largest tire retailer decided to automate the tire handling process with Mech-Mind's AI + 3D vision automation solution.
CV Joints
Bin Picking
The 3D vision guides the robot in removing the CV joints from the container and placing them on the conveyor.
Charging of Electric Vehicles
Localization of the charging socket
The 3D vision system locates the holes of the charging socket and guides the robot arm with the charging cable to the socket.
Vehicle Windows
Dispensing of glue
The 3D vision system receives the point cloud information of the glass and automatically creates the trajectory for the glue dispensing robot according to the process requirements.
Brake Discs
Picking overlapping brake discs
The 3D vision system identifies and locates the brake discs in a deep bin and guides the robotic arm as it grips and positions them.
Screws
Bin Picking
The 3D vision system detects and locates randomly positioned screws, guiding the robots to precisely grab each screw and place it in the downstream machine.
Wheels
Vision guided wheel installation
The 3D vision system detects and locates the wheel hubs and guides the robot in mounting the wheels - while the production line continues to move.
Crankshafts
Picking and positioning
3D vision-guided robots detect and pick randomly stacked crankshafts from a conatiner and then precisely place them down to reposition them.
Inner races
Bin Picking
The 3D vision system guides the robots to detect and accurately pick the inner races from a deep bin, and then place them in the designated locations.
Hatch door
Vision guided glue dispensing
The 3D vision system guides the gluing robots based on the contours of the workpiece - with the large variety of products, fixed gluing points were not an option at this customer.
