Introducing Schunk Japan's automation application kit "2D Grasping-Kit"

We would like to introduce "2D Grasping-Kit," an automation application kit that utilizes AI, recently released by Schunk Japan.

The "2D Grasping-Kit" is composed of a camera system, a gripping system according to the application, and an industrial PC (SVC) installed with AI software developed by SCHUNK, and is capable of grasping workpieces whose position and direction are not fixed. This is an application solution for.This makes it possible to reliably detect objects and calculate the optimal gripping point, without any prior knowledge of programming or image processing.

Labor shortages are a major issue in the manufacturing industry, and while companies are promoting automation of production processes, they are facing major challenges, especially when it comes to handling parts using robots.When camera systems are required for precise positioning for part gripping, many companies reach their limits and must rely on external service providers to automate.

To address this issue, SCHUNK has introduced the 2D Grasping-Kit, an application kit that provides quick, cost-effective, and easy-to-understand automation.The kit consists of a camera with lens, an industrial PC, SCHUNK AI software, etc.Automation is a complex task, but there is finally a solution to what is often a monotonous and uninteresting task for human workers.

The 2D Grasping Kit makes it easy for many companies to start automation.
● Easy-to-use web interface allows untrained staff to complete instruction within half a day.
● Even difficult parts (flexible or highly reflective) can be detected very easily and reliably using AI.
● SCHUNK's AI software not only enables applications, but also makes the system easy to use and runs smoothly in the background.

This software has made it possible to automate many production processes, especially the monotonous sorting work on production machines and the interface with logistics (order picking) with minimal effort and high reliability.
