Pick & Place
Vision systems are also used in the world of robotics for Pick And Place applications.
They identify the dimensions of an object and communicate them to the robot arm, which uses them to reach and pick it up.
A vision system distinguishes between different shapes, sizes, colours and textures to facilitate the selection of the correct product on the line.
what is it for?
Vision and Robot
The combination of these cutting-edge technologies allows the following operations to be carried out:
- Automatically pack the articles
- Pick up and place objects in certain areas
- Orientation and palletising of objects
By employing robots in repetitive jobs, operations become faster and productivity is improved in every way. It also allows for tasks to be carried out often under conditions that would be difficult or dangerous for human beings.

Typologies
Cognex Vision Systems are a crucial part of making robots smarter and more autonomous, and can be applied to the following types of robots:
Especially suitable for operations that require straight movements and high precision.
(Example: Material handling)
Ideal for tasks that require articulated movements and complex manipulation tasks.
Also included in this category are collaborative robots, Cobots, which are designed to work safely alongside humans without the need for protective barriers.
(Examples: Welding; Assembly)
They are used for high-speed applications.
(Examples: Packaging; Sorting)
Ideal for high precision assembly and handling applications.
(Examples: Assembly of small parts; Insertion of components.)
