Sensor solutions for robotics

Humans and robots are working more closely together. Sensors help robots make more intelligent decisions and give them the ability to sense objects, the environment, or their own position. Thanks to sensors from SICK, robots perceive more precisely - the prerequisite for close collaboration. For all challenges in the field of robotics: Robot Vision, Safe Robotics, End-of-Arm Tooling, and Position Feedback.

Robot Operating System (ROS) with SICK and KEBA: Diversity and simplification

When we all speak the same language, lots of things become a whole lot easier. But communication isn’t just important between humans. Communication between human and machine, robot and machine control, and application and cloud is just as vital. In robotics, the open source robot management software ROS is the perfect universal language for meeting these challenges.

Challenges

Robot Vision Image-based solutions which enlarge the field of vision of the robots are increasingly becoming the focus. Thanks to vision technology from SICK, the robot localizes and identifies defined objects in advance and decides by itself how to grip the respective part. Thereby, there is no need for mechanical attachments such as object guides. Even measurements and quality inspections can be carried out. For example, optical monitoring systems can monitor the position and quality of products and harmonize the sequence during the joining process.
Safe Robotics The close and, at the same time, safe collaboration between humans and robots on an equal footing is the prerequisite for high productivity, increasing efficiency, and improved ergonomics. Safety technology thereby plays a key role. SICK’s extensive portfolio of safety solutions enables unimpaired and safe human intervention into the robot system and reduces downtime in production. This can be achieved with an adaptive perception of the environment with the aid of intelligent, rugged, and reliable sensors and safe systems.
End-of-Arm Tooling The sensitivity of gripper arms is becoming increasingly important, especially when it comes to flexible production and batch size 1. Intelligent object detection is the key to complex automated applications Light sources and detection functions can be customized and preset in line with special object properties relating to material, surface, or form, for instance. The intelligent sensors from SICK cover all applications for End-of-Arm Tooling and the respective feed systems.
Position Feedback

Motor feedback systems in the field of robotics deliver the data on speed and position as well as on the condition of the drives to the control system. They thereby create the sensory foundation for all robot movements. These Smart Motor Sensors from SICK are right in the center of the action and provide the necessary data for the efficient control of the robot and the plant.
