Challenge

Limitations of manual inspection: Inspection accuracy varies depending on operator experience and condition
Overlooking minor defects: Difficult to detect tiny scratches or dents reliably
Cost and productivity issues: Rising labor costs and prolonged inspection time
Handling random bin-picking: Workpieces scattered with varying positions and orientations are difficult to automate

Process

The Eureka Controller is a single interface that centrally controls robots, 3D/2D cameras, HMIs, and peripheral devices.

Combined with the Eureka 3D Camera, it seamlessly handles the entire workflow from random bin picking to left-right classification and visual inspection.

The system accurately recognizes complex-shaped workpieces and detects sub-millimeter defects with high precision.

Solution

3D point cloud generation and recognition: Works without pattern projection, enabling robust detection even for glossy or reflective workpieces that are difficult for conventional methods
Optimal gripping position and robot path planning: Eureka Controller synchronizes robots and cameras to determine the best picking strategy
AI-powered defect detection: Automatically identifies micro scratches and dents with high accuracy
User-friendly AI models: Even non-programmers can easily train custom AI models for visual inspection

Outcomes

Eliminated dependency on human operators, ensuring stable inspection accuracy
Strengthened quality assurance through sub-millimeter defect detection
Reduced labor costs and shortened inspection times, achieving cost optimization
Expanded automation capabilities to include random bin-picking of irregular workpieces
