Automated Assembly
Assemble with dexterity
Automating assembly requires stability, reliability, and speed. For that, you need a 3D sensor robust and fast enough.
Assemble with confidence
Mount the Zivid machine vision camera on the robot to confidently tackle your assembly tasks.
Assemble with precision
Point precision of 80 µm means even small objects and their detail are easily detected and understood by your robot.
What is assembly?
Automated assembly tasks have the highest demands for fine-grained accurate operations across the process. Whether it is fastening a screw or a bolt, or insertion of an item or connector, there is no tolerance for error. With the high-resolution 5-megapixel Zivid 2+ MR60 industrial 3D camera, assembly operations are completed with complete confidence. With a high-resolution 5-megapixel sensor it delivers unparalleled point cloud detail and completeness, and has best-in-class trueness characteristics of > 99.8% (seeing true to reality). Zivid 2+ is the ideal 3D vision for your robot for assembly tasks that must be right the first time, every time.
Challenges & Solutions
Automated assembly has unique and challenging demands for robotics. The tasks involve human levels of dexterity where parts must be singulated and grasped. These fine motor skills are reliant on the performance and quality of the 3D vision system. High precision is important, but of most importance is very high degree trueness, meaning seeing things as they really are, and where they really are.
Grasp and manipulate confidently and at speed
Assembly tasks demand the highest degree of accuracy and precision. Assembly is typically a multi-stage process of picking, realignment, and assembly. This can be a time-consuming process. With the exceptional image quality, accuracy, and dynamic range of the Zivid 2+ MR60, it is possible to complete assembly operations faster with a single pick process without realignment. With a highly accurate grasp of objects, you can pick and assemble directly in a single-stage operation.
- Zivid 2+ MR60 – Exceptionally detailed and accurate high dynamic range captures.
- Unified 2D and 3D captures that are lightning-fast.

See every detail as it truly is
For object matching, detection, and manipulation, you need to be able see all the details. Being able to see objects and their assembly counterparts with a very high degree of accuracy and trueness is essential for consistently reliable assembly tasks. The alignment processes are typically at a millimeter level.
- Zivid 2+ MR60 offers unparalleled high-resolution 5-megapixel detail allied with best-in-class dimensional trueness of better than 99.8%.
- The point precision is 80 µm, meaning even small objects and their detail are easily detected and understood by your robot.
A true industrial 3D camera
Assembly takes place across a broad range of industries. There can be lots of other things happening from shutter doors opening to mobile machines moving around. All these other things can create temperature variations, vibration, and even knocks. A true industrial robot vision camera designed and tested to exacting standards is essential for reliable performance and repeatability.
- Zivid 2+ is truly built to industrial standards, it is IP65-rated and built from the highest quality components.
- Zivid 2+ is designed to stay performant with an innovative floating calibration system meaning it stays sharp in a changing environment.
