Kit simplifies bin picking automation

Jan. 18, 2021
Robotiq and Pickit each contribute components that can work with a wide range of cobots.

Bin Picking Kit This product combines Robotiq’s EPick EOAT and Pickit’s M-HD 3-D camera, which can be added to a robot arm to create a cell that can locate, pick, handle and place flat and cylindrical parts from a bin. It also can pick metal parts from a bin and place them into a mold for overmolding, pick injection molded parts and stack them in a compact manner for shipping, or tend machining centers. The kit also includes a vacuum tube extension kit to increase reach of the EOAT and Machine Tending Copilot software.

What’s new? The kit.  

Benefits Automation of repetitive, non-ergonomic tasks. The Bin Picking Kit offers quick plug-and-play integration with Universal Robots and Omron TM series cobots, while Robotiq’s Universal Controller accessory makes it compatible with almost any other robot brand and model.
