Integrating vision into a manual assembly process
Clear Vision Systems (CVS), manufactured by Kautex Textron CVS Ltd are designed to keep vehicle headlamps or the sensors used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems clean from dirt, dust, frost, snow, and pollution.
The tubing assemblies used in these systems are constructed completely by hand. To ensure the highest quality standards and efficient production, Kautex integrated a complete vision system as part of the assembly process.
Direct interfacing of smart 3D vision system with robots
The use of small to medium-sized collaborative robots for factory automation applications is growing at a rapid rate. Many of these applications are pick-and-place, so the robots require machine vision to visualize the scene, process information to make control decisions and execute precision-based mechanical movements.
