case study

3D bin picking

3D localization of loose parts allows the robot to calculate the optimal pick without a dedicated gripper or organized feeding. At Psycle, vision models adapt to the diversity of shapes and materials.

Robot arm-mounted inspection

Mounting the camera directly on the robot arm makes it possible to combine guidance and quality control in a single cycle, with no dedicated inspection station, reducing line footprint and cycle time.

Waste sorting

Machine vision identifies and classifies heterogeneous flows in real time by type, shape or color, to guide a sorting robot with a precision that conventional detection systems cannot achieve.

Go to the FAQ
3D bin-picking

Can the robot recognize several product references mixed in the same bin?

Yes. The system identifies the reference of each part before picking it, among those you have shown it, and the robot only grips what matches the current order. References can therefore be mixed in the bin without prior sorting.

3D bin-picking

How does the system tell the top of a part from the bottom?

Through 3D measurement and the part's appearance: it recognizes the visible face and determines how to grip it, including when the part must be placed in a specific orientation. This top/bottom recognition is one of the points we validate on your actual parts.

3D bin-picking

How does the robot choose which part to pick from the bin?

It selects a part whose tilt and gripping surface allow a secure pick, and that can be reached without hitting the bin or neighboring parts. A part that is tilted too steeply or buried too deep is left for later: the pile rearranges itself as parts are picked.

3D bin-picking

Can part compliance be checked during bin picking?

Yes. The same 3D measurement used to guide the robot also makes it possible to check that the part is compliant before picking it. A non-compliant part does not move on to the rest of the process.

3D bin-picking

How can you reduce the cycle time of a 3D bin-picking cell?

By reducing the time the robot spends waiting for the vision system. Psycle's robot guidance projects target short vision cycle times: the scene is computed while the robot is working, not between two picks. The overall cycle time also depends on the robot, the gripper and the part.

3D bin-picking

Can a single 3D bin-picking system handle multiple part formats?

Yes, that is one of the goals of the solution: handling a wide variety of formats and designs with minimal camera adjustments. A new part is presented to the system without rebuilding the cell from scratch.
