Inspection with robot and 3D scanner
Berghof Testing has developed a system consisting of 3D scanners and a Kuka KR Cybertech that inspects components at the end of assembly lines - without cameras.
The Smart Component Tester (SCoT) carries out the optical testing of car components not with industrial cameras, as is usually the case, but with a combination of a KR Cybertech and two 3D scanners. The special feature: They work independently of lighting conditions, contrast and reflections. The company received the "German Innovation Award 2021" for this.
The SCoT uses two scanners: one determines the exact position of the component on a short linear conveyor belt and forwards the information from the 3D model to a KR Cybertech. This means that the system does not require any complex and expensive conveyor technology based on workpiece carriers. In the next step, the robot grips the object and finally presents it to the second 3D scanner, which performs the optical inspection. This technology provides Berghoff Testing 's customers with great flexibility when scanning.
