The Spanish robotics specialist Tekniker has developed a solution that allows chaotically lying parts to be automatically gripped from containers and placed in other containers in an orderly manner. The integrated 3D vision software MV Tec Halcon ensures precise gripping of those parts.

Fully automated part picking by robots is a major technical challenge. A particular difficulty is that the components are not always delivered to the robot in an orderly fashion, but rather unsorted and even overlapping each other. This means that humans still have to intervene frequently. The Spanish company Tekniker has developed an application based on machine vision that enables fully automated bin-picking with two robots. A particular highlight is the 3D vision technology “Surface-based Matching” which reliably recognizes the delivered components, i.e., acts as the eye of the robots and enables precise gripping.

Tekniker, based in Eibar in northern Spain, specializes in the development of technology solutions for automation, industrial robotics and sensor technology, among others. The company serves a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, or machinery and plant engineering.
