Robotiq wrist camera for fast teaching of new parts

For Universal Robotics, Robotiq offers an interesting and easy to integrate camera. With just one snapshot, many parts that are not yet known can then be captured and taught. This makes it easier to automate complex manufacturing processes with multiple steps and parts. Further fields of application are machine operation, pick-and-place and assembly. Some data: 5 MegaPixel color sensor, electronic focusing, focal length 70 mm to infinity, weight 160 g, usability 0 to 50 degrees operating temperature. The price is about 5,000 €.

This video introduces the camera on the gripper:

Optical detection is generally becoming increasingly important and easier. The robots from Omron or Rethink Robotics therefore have a camera directly integrated.

The book "Introduction to Human-Machine Collaboration" gives you a good overview into the world of human-robot collaboration for little money. The author of this blog is available for a walk through your production/manufacturing(detail) to then provide concrete cobot suggestions incl. funding opportunities.
