AUTOMATION

Transforming The Forging Industry With 3D Robot Vision 3D robot vision technology offers a trans formative solution for modernizing billet handling and other processes in forging industries. By replacing traditional mechan ical feeders or manual labor with flexible, intelligent 3D vision powered robots, forges can achieve significant benefits. Steady billet flow without noise or space constraints, coupled with high durability and low maintenance, ensures efficient and reliable operations. Furthermore, fully inte grated solutions including a dedicated billet gripper tool eliminate valuable time and resources needed for complex gripper design and integration. Moreover, 3D robot vision can be used for other applications apart from billet handling, including stacking of large parts as well as unstacking for further finishing processes such as deburring and shot-blast. In conclusion, 3D robot vision provides a scalable, adaptable, and cost-effective

approach to address the challenges faced by today's forging industry. By embracing this technology, which is now easily available, forges can enhance productivity, improve safety, and gain a competitive edge in the market.
