Read about our lab demo using a bench mounted IFM OPD100 3D Profiler interacting with the Schunk EGH Collaborative Gripper installed on the UR10e Universal Robot. The application challenge was to establish a way to verify the capacitor type and the correct workpiece orientation for insertion into a fixture. We demonstrate how this setup is able to translate orientation data to the robot and check for workpiece type to detect a changeover process.
