Bin Picking

Collaborative Robots

Picking parts out of a bin - randomly stacked, mixed, or arriving in bulk - is one of the most repetitive and unpredictable jobs on a line. We build bin picking cells around 3D vision, such as the IFM O3D, so the robot can see into the bin, identify each part regardless of orientation, and pick it out reliably, even as the pile shifts and thins out - taking manual sorting and feeding off your team's hands.

Watch a vision-guided cobot pick parts directly from a bin - no manual sorting, no fixed part positions, just consistent picks as the bin empties.

Why Use a Bin Picking Robot?

When parts arrive jumbled instead of sorted, most automation stalls - bin picking robots don't.

Manually sorting and feeding parts out of a bin is repetitive, slow, and hard to scale - especially when parts vary in size, shape, or orientation. It's one of the first places manufacturers look to automate, and one of the hardest for traditional fixed automation to handle.

A bin picking robot uses 3D vision to see into the bin, work out which part to pick next, and adjust in real time - so it keeps performing as the pile shifts, thins out, or contains a mix of parts. That means less manual handling, more consistent throughput, and a system that adapts instead of requiring parts to be pre-sorted first.
