Gluing application with Camera + Path recording

Catherine_Bernier

In a previous post, we did show you how you can use the camera and the path recording together by locating a part with the camera then incrementing the path recorded to fit the new position and orientation. This was explained in this post.

I wanted to do a proof of concept on how those features can be used in a gluing application, this can also work for other similar application such as finishing, deburring, etc. In brief, this example shows how you can use the camera to detect a part that isn't referenced on a plane and perform any located operation after.

Here is the video:

Here is the program:

Do you have an actual in-plant application that looks like this? Did anyone have done this application in their plant using UR+Robotiq?

@Catherine_Bernier that is really cool. I will have to remember that for future use.  Has me thinking about how to solve some problems in possibly a different way
