This section introduces the basics of the neatly arranged cylindrical shaft loading solution, including the applicability, unsupported functions and technical specifications.

Applicability

This section describes the applicability of the neatly arranged cylindrical shaft loading solution in terms of the condition of the incoming shafts, shaft types, project requirements, and the shaft placement.

Condition of Incoming Workpieces

Feasible Illustration Not feasible Illustration

The shafts are placed in an orderly manner.

Only one type of shaft exists in the same bin.

Various types of shafts exist in the same bin.

Shaft Types

The table below illustrates the solution’s applicability to shaft types.

Feasible Illustration Not feasible Illustration

The shafts are standard cylinders.

The workpieces are not standard cylinders. For example, the shaft is thinner at both ends and thicker in the middle or thicker at one end and thinner at the other.

There is no need to differentiate the thin end and thick end of the shafts, as the shafts are standard cylinders with no significant differences between the two ends.

Shaft unloading or assembly.

There is no need to distinguish between the two ends of the shaft.

It is necessary to distinguish the two ends of the shaft.

Shaft Placement

The table below illustrates the solution’s applicability to shaft placement.

Feasible Illustration Not feasible Illustration

Dimensions

The table below illustrates the solution’s applicability to shaft dimensions.

Feasible Not feasible

Shafts of known dimensions.

Shafts of unknown dimensions.

Collision Detection

The table below illustrates the solution’s applicability to collision detections.

Feasible Not feasible
  • Detect whether there is a collision between the robot, tool, scene object, workpiece point cloud, and bin.

  • Detect whether there is a collision between the robot, scene object, and bin.

Detect collisions between objects of irregular shape. For example, detect collisions between the dresspack and the tool whose shape may change during the robot movement.

Unsupported Functions

The neatly arranged cylindrical shaft loading solution does not support the following functions.

  • Identify the orientations of the shafts. The neatly arranged cylindrical shaft loading solution does not support the recognition of shafts with different ends, or the orientations of the shafts.

  • Identify different materials in the incoming shafts. The neatly arranged cylindrical shaft loading solution cannot be used to identify whether there are other types of materials in the incoming shafts.

  • Identify the dimensions of the shafts. The neatly arranged cylindrical shaft loading solution does not support the recognition of dimensions of the shafts.

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of the neatly arranged cylindrical shafts loading solution are as follows.

  • Positioning accuracy: ±5 mm

  • Recognition success rate: more than 99%

  • Execution time of vision system: within 4 s
