The PLR has been developed for robot-automated part handling. It is a stand-alone device that includes all the localization functions, an easy-to-use robot interface, as well as all the functions necessary for rapid integration with the robot. The sensor combines state-of-the-art 2D and 3D machine vision techniques to provide a unique solution that can be used reliably in environments where ambient conditions vary. The user interface, which is operated via the integrated web server, and the field-proven tools ensure problem-free integration of the sensor. The short setup time is a hallmark of the sensor. It can be smoothly retrofitted into existing robot cells and handling stations without any need for vision specialists or additional computer systems. The PLR is supplied factory-calibrated with software preloaded to enable any new solution to go live without further preparations by the user. Simply install the device, connect it to the robot controller, load an existing job configuration or create a new one in a just couple of minutes, and PLR is ready for operation. The PLR sensor from SICK is the ideal solution for cost-effective automated part handling.
