    Isra Vision launches ‘quad-camera sensor solution’ for bin picking

    Isra Vision has launched what it says is a “quad-camera sensor solution” for bin picking. Robot-guided bin picking is significantly increasing the level of automation in industrial production, while also enabling maximum flexibility. That is why another large German supplier in the automotive sector has now chosen the PowerPick3D bin picking system.

  • Sick launches new compact image-based code reader

    Sick launches new compact image-based code reader

    Sick has launched a new compact image-based code reader, Lector621, for reliable detection of 1D, 2D, stacked codes, and plain text. The high-performance DPM – direct part marking – decoder can read laser or dot-peened codes perfectly, even in the case of low contrast levels, contamination, or poor code quality. This fills a gap in…
