Robotic VISION Technologies, Universal Robots to introduce 3D cobot packaging application at Jacob Javits Center in New York City

RVT, a leader in vision software for industrial applications, has been integrated into Universal Robots cobot arms to demonstrate precise pick-and-place items off a conveyor in 2.5D and onto a movable tray in 3D.

NEW YORK, N.Y. (June 7, 2017)—Robotic VISION Technologies Inc. will be a co-exhibitor June 13-15, 2017 with the worlds largest collaborative robot maker Universal Robots. RVT will be demonstrating its new collaborative 3D vision guidance software on a Universal Robot UR5. The 3D cobot packaging solution can be seen at EastPack ATX 2017 in East Booth 2529 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

RVT, a leader in vision software for industrial applications, has been integrated into Universal Robots cobot arms to demonstrate precise pick-and-place items off a conveyor in 2.5D and onto a movable tray in 3D. The ground-breaking system will be shown selecting parts from a conveyor, reorienting them, and precisely placing them in a movable tray. The vision system can also find pieces that are stacked two or three high randomly. This solution remedies the problematic issue of an unorganized packaging operation when trays or pallets are not precisely placed for the robot to blindly pick or pack.
The emergence of collaborative robots expands the marketplace for robotics because of lowering robot costs and increasing productivity with the ability to work safely alongside human workers. RVT, with its collaborative VisionFactory® (cVF®) product, is strongly positioned to offer many vision solutions in the collaborative space for all major robot brands.
RVT made its cVF debut on a Universal Robots UR5 controlling an OnRobot RG2 gripper at Automate 2017 held April 3-6 in Chicago.
"Were extremely pleased to be invited by Universal Robots to co-exhibit at the EastPack 2017/ATX East show," RVT Founder and Chief Executive Officer Rick Weidinger said. "We had a very successful show at Automate, bringing much interest in our new collaborative vision software."
RVTs cVF is available for license and will begin deliveries to users in July, 2017.
"Were enthused by the response," Weidinger said, "and were looking forward to demonstrating it again with Universal Robots in New York City."

FAULHABER MICROMO - Game changer in logistics

The demands that modern intralogistics place on the used drives are high: In many instances, they must be capable of releasing tremendous forces under extremely confined conditions, also work reliably in continuous or stop-and-go operation, and oftentimes they must also perform highly precise positioning tasks. The speed also plays an important role, after all, many thousand orders need to be processed every day in large warehouses. Drive systems from FAULHABER have often demonstrated their performance here during sorting and transporting as well as with storage and retrieval. Thanks to their modular design, the motors can be combined with a variety of high-resolution encoders for precise positioning tasks and with high-performance gearheads for high torque requirements. There are also compact motion controllers that can either be integrated in the drives or arranged externally.
