Speed without Error – KUKA Vision Robots

KUKA has been offer­ing weld­ing and oth­er indus­tri­al process­es to com­pa­nies for more than 100 years. How­ev­er, in the last few decades, KUKA has par­tial­ly turned its atten­tion to robot­ics, estab­lish­ing KUKA Robot­ics, a wing of the com­pa­ny ded­i­cat­ed to indus­tri­al automa­tion. In recent years, KUKA has made them faster, while also error-proof­ing them by adding the vision fea­ture to their robots and work cells.

Vision robots can work faster and even more accu­rate­ly than their coun­ter­parts with­out vision. KUKA installs vision cam­eras onto the robot arm that allows the robot to ​“see” the parts that it is manip­u­lat­ing. This is help­ful when KUKA robots are sort­ing or per­form­ing some oth­er mate­r­i­al han­dling func­tion. The KUKA vision robot­ic sys­tem is pro­grammed with an algo­rithm that tells it what parts to inter­act with and what parts to not inter­act with. If the robot does not rec­og­nize the part, it does not per­form the pro­grammed application.

Not only does this allow robots to per­form at faster speeds than ever before, it also cuts down on work­er errors that can some­times be numer­ous in lengthy, dull mate­r­i­al han­dling posi­tions. KUKA robot­ic vision sys­tems ensure that the right parts get to all the right places, with­out hav­ing to wor­ry about mak­ing mis­takes or send­ing parts to the wrong place. This saves the com­pa­ny mon­ey by cut­ting out mis­takes before they are made and also improves the company’s rep­u­ta­tion and profit.
