WHAT IS MOONFLOWER BLUE
Moonflower Blue is our random bin picking solution.
It generates trajectories to pick parts from a bin with a robot.
Products are localized using 3D data provided by one of the supported scanners: fast and robust matching algorithms are exploited to find the 3D position and orientation of an object starting from its CAD model. A fast path planner ensure a collision free path to pick and place.
Robot bin picking challenges and options are quickly described in a pdf available here
ADVANTAGES
Sensor can be moved over different boxes or placed on robot hand.
Customizations available through a very flexible plugin system.
Automatic calculation of deposit point when multiple picking positions are available.
Straightforward process that starts from a CAD model.
Flexible picking since many possibilities are available.
Select the sensor that best optimizes your parts/accuracy/cycle/costs requirements.
Fast cycle thanks to efficient algorithms and usage of multiple parts per image.
Get the maximum out of your robot thanks to an outstanding path planner.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH
MOONFLOWER BLUE
Moonflower is commonly used to drive a robot that serves two turning centers at one time picking from two bins with different parts.
Depending on layout and cycle time, the system could use two cameras or a single one moved from one box to the other.
A flexible gripper makes model switching almost instantaneous. Everything is programmed easily from a 3D CAD file.

Avenir Light is a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on the eyes and a great go-to font for titles, paragraphs & more.

Loading a panel bending machine
A special part model is designed to easily pick
metal sheets, even when the thickness is a fraction
of a millimeter.
Starting from a 3D or 2D drawing (dxf, geo, hpgl), it
is possible to define directly in the CAD file where to
pick and how to place the part.
A plugin for palletizing a bent part is also available.

Moving from box to conveyor (or vibrational unit)
Sometimes a robot is already installed to pick parts from a conveyor at a fast pace, so all you need is to fill the system with parts from the bin.
In this case, we suggest to use Moonflower with a
cost-effective 3D camera (usually ToF) and a gripper that can take a bulk of parts (often a magnet) to empty the bin efficiently.

Picking from a bulk feeder system
Moonflower has a special verison for picking parts from a bulk feeder, therefore solving some issues of standard system such as: distinguishing flipped parts,
having an accurate picking at different heights, and defining multiple picking position form a CAD file if the product is complex.

Loading billets in an oven
Billet's model can be automatically generated from
parameters received by a PLC or user input for both
cylindrical and squared section types.
Often, cycle times allow the implementation of a camera on the robot end-effector so several bins could be served with no additional costs.
