3D Vision Empowers Brake Disc Depalletizing

In the field of automotive parts manufacturing, the automated handling and depalletizing of brake discs faces dual challenges of "precision" and "efficiency". Traditional methods often struggle to balance both, becoming a bottleneck in production line upgrades.

In this case, the Qianyi Technology Epic Eye Laser L V2S 3D industrial camera served as the core component, successfully implementing a brake disc depalletizing project. With precise recognition and efficient processing capabilities, it solved the pain points of the scene and achieved stable mass production.

Core Challenges

Brake disc depalletizing is a key process in auto parts processing. Traditional methods are prone to multiple difficulties: Difficult workpiece positioning: The pallet surface is not absolutely flat, and there are gaps within allowable tolerances. Traditional 2D vision struggles to achieve stable and accurate positioning. High cycle time pressure: The production line imposes strict requirements on continuous operation cycle time, requiring the vision system to quickly complete imaging and algorithm processing to avoid slowing down overall production efficiency. Strong environmental interference: Factors such as dust, light reflection, and equipment vibration in industrial workshops can easily cause recognition blurring in traditional vision systems, making it impossible to stably output accurate positioning information.

Core Solution

This project selected the Qianyi Technology Epic Eye Laser L V2S 3D industrial camera, which, with its excellent technical performance, became the core force to solve the scene pain points.

Millimeter-level recognition for precise positioning: The camera's recognition accuracy for the 3D coordinates of brake discs is stable within ±1mm. Even if the workpiece has slight tilt or partial occlusion, it can accurately capture its contour and spatial pose, providing error-free gripping guidance for the robot and eliminating collision risks. High-precision gripping for stable operation: Combined with dedicated algorithms, the system ultimately achieves a gripping accuracy of ±2mm. It ensures that each robot grip is accurate and stable, significantly reducing damage to the workpiece itself and improving the yield rate and operational safety of the depalletizing process. Ultra-fast processing matching production line rhythm: From imaging to output, the entire visual processing flow takes only about 4 seconds. It seamlessly adapts to the fast cycle time requirements of the production line, eliminating line waiting and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of automated production.

Customer Value

The success of this project goes far beyond replacing several workstations of manual labor. It brings quantifiable comprehensive value improvement: Improved efficiency and guaranteed production capacity: Achieves fully automated unmanned operation, breaking through the physical and time limitations of manual work, ensuring continuous and efficient production flow. Cost reduction and quality control: Avoids product damage and consistency fluctuations caused by worker fatigue or negligence, improving the stability and yield rate of the depalletizing process. Flexible adaptation for future upgrades: The vision-based solution has good flexibility. By adjusting parameters, it can adapt to workpieces of different specifications, reserving space for future intelligent upgrades of the production line.

With solid technical performance, Qianyi Technology's 3D industrial cameras have been applied in multiple industry scenarios such as auto parts and mechanical processing, accumulating rich practical experience. In the future, Qianyi Technology will continue to deepen its presence in the industrial automation field, providing reliable and efficient core support for the automation upgrade of various industries.
