VIM-303 Videos
VIM-303 Overview
Pick still or moving objects with ease - no conveyor encoder or fixturing needed. Program easily using Blockly by simply dragging and dropping phrases that describe your task. Visually pick objects by name. Place, stack or palletize. The all in one design includes an active stereo camera, a 12MP autofocus camera, and illumination.
Ease of Programming
Step 1 - define the object
Step 2 - define waypoints
Step 3 - create Blockly program

Palletize from a cart - sort by size
The palletizer is configured to pick different sized boxes from a cart. The VIM-303 camera locates the boxes and measures their size. The robot is directed to place the small boxes on a table, while palletizing the large ones. After the large boxes are palletized, the small ones are palletized on top. This is just one example of the wide variety of palletization options that can be configured with the power of the VIM-303 camera’s vision guidance.
Palletize from a roller conveyor - sort by size
The palletizer is configured to pick boxes from a roller track, which can be located anywhere within the field of view of the arm-mounted VIM-303 camera. Boxes of different sizes are discriminated, with large ones stacked on the cart and small ones palletized in front of the robot. This is just one example of the many ways the palletizer can be configured.

Multi-Robot Coordinated Pick and Place
Three independent robots accomplish a complex sorting task. The first robot singulates a heap of items onto to an unencoded conveyor. The second robot extracts two specific item-types, stacking and palletizing them based on object-type. The third robot picks watches for it's assigned object-type and packs them side-by-side.
Visual Placement
VIM-303 visually picks and visually places. It visually locates the desired object (a user-selected drink) and visually locates the desired placement (a user-placed coaster).
Conveyor Picking and Palletizing
Objects are picked from a conveyor and palletized onto a table using the Robotiq E-Pick suction gripper. The conveyor is unencoded, and is simply placed in the view of VIM-303, not registered or precision-located in any way. The objects on the moving conveyor are tracked and picked by vision only.
Mill Tending
A mill-tending application is simulated. A metal billet is visually picked with the Robotiq 2F-85 two finger gripper. The billet is placed into the machining vise, and VIM-303 closes the vise via digital I/O to the robot controller. When the machining operation is complete, VIM-303 opens the vise, and retrieves the piece, placing it on the table.
