In a foundry specialized in automotive parts, on the Stellantis Sept-Fons site, our partner Ribinerf (https://www.ribinerf.com/) has integrated a CUP3D vision solution composed of a 3D cirrus sensor, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, to sort the parts coming out of the oven on a conveyor.
Challenges :
- Locate and sort parts at high temperatures (over 700°C)
- Identify different types of parts despite visual nuisances (sand, dirt, hidden parts, etc.)
- Ability to work in a hostile environment at the furnace exit
- Ability for the robots to route the parts to the right bins according to the type of part
Solutions :
- Installation of a robust and impervious system composed of three robots and 3 fixed cirrus conveyor sensors (one close to each robot)
Outcomes :
- Fluent identification and sorting of parts
- Waste and nuisance management on the conveyor
- Deposit of parts in the different bins according to the model
- Maintenance of the cycle time of the furnace exits
- 1000 parts sorted per hour
