MAG PixCell™

Vision guided packing lines to high capacity production

Intelligent robot automation! MAG PixCell™ concept is developed to provide intelligent robot automation for the food industry in a manner that gives the best performance for the investment in all its aspects.

Our innovative MAG PixCell™ concept covers a selection of standard attachable MAG PixCell™ robot cells that provide scalable line capacity to optimise any handling application. The concept includes vision- and software-based intelligence and thus provides considerable value addition compared to other automation solutions. Our PixCell™s provide quick installation and ramp-up on top of easy operation and selection of services for the overall life-cycle.

MAG PixCell™ robot cells are used for multiple tasks involving pick and place operation: grouping, piling, box loading and transport packaging.

Our intelligent control software takes fully care of increased complexity, and the operator activities through the graphical interface are always the same, no matter how many robots there are in the line!

    RG - Vision based Robot Guidance

    RG

    Our RG software is a multipurpose machine vision system designed for robotic applications.

    Applications:

    • Material handling
    • Palletising and depalletising
    • Machine tending
    • Assembly automation



    Our in-house developed vision based Robot Guidance, as a basic solution, brings already significant benefits compared to other robot solutions. Stress-free handling and quick product changeovers are always available for the applications. Also the individual inspection of the products and related logging and statistic features are used to eliminate bad products from the line.

    RG supports up to four cameras and wide variety of different camera types, ranging from standard CCD cameras to high resolution and color cameras. When combined with our Visor3D system, image data can be acquired using the latest 3D imaging technology. This unique feature lifts the standard of robot vision systems to a new level. Robot Guidance software runs on Microsoft Windows® platform.

    Note: In addition to the standard features our RG supports also the customer specific programming. This means broad possibilities for customised intelligence and value-addition in the applications!
