Robotics
The automation industry has consistently experienced a positive trend in the introduction of robots into production and logistics.
Not all robotics applications are limited to the programming of the robot itself.
When robots have to grab an object in an unknown position, a system is needed that identifies and sends the X,Y and possibly Z coordinates of the object to be picked up.
Robots can be used as tools for handling vision systems.
Used to move the camera precisely, they enable the vision system to capture images from different angles. This way you can reach all the points, even critical ones, of an object without the need to install multiple fixed cameras.
This flexibility allows you to reduce the number of cameras required, optimizing costs and improving efficiency in your entire inspection or quality control process.

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.)
