3D laser vision can help robots in a variety of different applications, including material handling, material removal, dispensing, and welding applications. But these vision systems are not just for the metalworking world anymore. They can be found in the plastics industry, as well as the food processing industry. Much more powerful than the human eye, a 3D laser vision system can swiftly locate points on a product, or “see” if a product is not properly placed and tell the robot to alter the path. This laser vision system has depth perception, which improves the system’s accuracy even more.
