As a result, it can detect even the smallest of object features, for example drilled holes or other natural position marks on the shelving construction. The Inspector P63x is a rapid high-resolution 2D camera whose optical design can be adapted to the particular task thanks to its modular structure. ONE sensor for single- and double-depth stacking positions The programmable Inspector P63x 2D camera with its Fine Rack Positioning Sensor App masters these challenges: It also enables precise positioning – and thus collision-free storage and retrieval – even with large racking tolerances. In handling and warehousing systems temperature-, load- and steel construction-dependent variables at transfer points generate varying geometrical conditions that impair the automatic positioning processes of storage and retrieval devices in front of shelving, or the docking of autonomous vehicles at transfer stations. The 2D camera programmed with the Fine Rack Positioning Sensor App from the SICK AppSpace ecosystem impresses with high functional reliability, operational dependability, and a user-friendly human-machine interface. Optical interference is very robustly eliminated due to intelligent image processing. The camera solution, which SICK is presenting at the LogiMAT 2018 (Hall 1, Stand F51), orients itself on natural position marks – no reflectors are necessary. Whereby both single-depth and double-depth positioning tasks can be controlled with a single sensor. Waldkirch, March 2018 – The programmable Inspector P63x 2D camera from SICK with a sensor app specially developed for fine rack positioning ensures reliable and automatic positioning during storage and retrieval processes in handling and warehousing systems.
