The Power of 3D Vsion in Automation:
Incorporating advanced vison capabilities into automation systems provides considerable benefits, including:
Achieving Unparalleled Accuracy and Repeatability:
3D vision for pick and place applications using CAD technology enhances automation efficiency by enabling precise object recognition and manipulation. This innovative approach allows for accurate modeling and simulation of the environment, facilitating seamless integration with robotic systems.
Facilitating Micro-Scale Manipulation and Assembly:
The ability to operate with micron-level precision opens up possibilities for automating micro assembly and micromanipulation tasks. This is particularly beneficial in industries like medical devices, electronics, and optics, where components can be extremely small, often requiring specialized skills and tools for handling
Enhancing Inspection and Quality Control with Micron Resolution:
The lack of physical contact allows for faster and smoother movements, potentially increasing production speeds.
Improving the Manufacturing of High-Tolerance Products:
3D vision technology revolutionizes micro part inspection and alignment by providing precise and detailed visual data. This innovative approach enhances accuracy and efficiency, ensuring that even the smallest components meet stringent quality standards.
3D vision systems, conversely, provide a tangible understanding of the environment.
Technologies such as structured light, stereo vision, and time-of-flight deliver a wealth of depth information that translates directly into actionable data. We are no longer estimating object orientation or distance; we are measuring it with micron-level accuracy. This fundamental leap in automation capabilities brings a significant increase in data volume, with point clouds, depth maps, and 3D meshes becoming integral to our workflows for precise measurement, surface reconstruction, and robot path planning. We employ filtering techniques, develop algorithms for object segmentation, and ensure data can be output into multiple file types for use in other applications.

Key Advantages of 3D Vision Integration
The adoption of 3D vision delivers tangible benefits on the factory floor, transforming your business through various advantages
Direct Operational Gains:
01
Reduced Cycle Times:
Our systems reduce cycle times by guiding robots in assembling complex components with micron-level accuracy. This is achieved by reliably guiding robots to grasp parts and perform precise assembly operations, leading to increased throughput.
02
Improved Quality and Increased Throughput:
Improved quality and increased throughput are realized due to precise assembly operations. This is achieved by minimizing errors and ensuring consistent product quality through precise alignment and inspection, enabled by micron precision robotics which ensures consistent and high-quality output. Our systems achieve this by allowing for tight tolerances in assembly operations.
03
Automated Inspection Processes:
SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies enables automated inspection processes that detect subtle defects and deviations previously impossible for human operators or 2D systems. These subtle defects would have been missed by human operators or traditional 2D systems. Our advanced vision integration provides inspection capabilities with resolutions down to 0.25 microns.
04
Minimizing Rework:
Rework is minimized by achieving tight tolerances in assembly operations. This capability is a direct result of the precise control offered by our 3D vision systems, allowing for tolerances previously unattainable in automated manufacturing, which also leads to higher yields and reduced waste.
05
Micron-Level Accuracy:
Our solutions provide micron-level accuracy in assembly, inspection, and measurement. This means we are no longer estimating object orientation or distance, but measuring it with micron-level accuracy. Our systems often achieve +/- 5-micron repeatability and utilize vision systems with resolutions down to 0.25 microns for inspection.
06
Superior Process Data Capture:
We enable superior process data capture and enhanced tracking and tracing capabilities, especially crucial for highly regulated industries. SEYMOUR Advanced Technologies provides custom automation that guarantees accuracy, traceability, and compliance.
