VISION CAPABILITIES

Robot Vision Capabilities — Will it work for our parts?

From 0.3 mm ultra-small SMD to thin sheet, rubber, and transparent parts — a clear breakdown of which part ranges and sites AIM robot vision automation fits best, and where it has limits.

PART TYPES

What part range can it handle?

Precision vision, vibration patterns, and Recipe management combine to handle a wide part range reliably. If one category doesn't fit, we bundle another solution to solve it.

  • 01

    SMD · Ultra-small

    0.3–3 mm

    Ultra-small SMD and chip components. Stable pick-up through dual-camera inspection.

  • 02

    Thin sheet · Rubber · Spring

    Thickness 0.1 mm+

    Hard-to-feed parts like thin sheets, rubber, and springs. Vision alignment with vibration patterns enables reliable pick.

  • 03

    Round · Complex geometry

    Medium

    Round and complex shapes are dispersed and picked via rotary feeder (FlexiBowl) combined with vision.

  • 04

    Transparent · Reflective · Black

    Lighting-sensitive

    Lighting, exposure, and ROI managed per model in Recipe for stable recognition under varying conditions.

USE CASES

These are the sites it fits best

If any of the following applies, AIM robot vision automation is a strong fit.

  • Small-part Pick & Place
  • Multi-model parts automation
  • Processes requiring part position and orientation recognition
  • Adding vision to an existing robot
  • Running a feeder and vision together
  • Production environments with frequent model changes
  • Sites that need easy vision operation without a vision specialist

LIMITS

Cases that don't fit well — honestly

Not every part or site is solvable with robot vision alone. Some cases need a feeder combination, or a different configuration is the better fit.

  • Deeply stacked bulk parts

    Deep bin-picking is difficult with 2D vision alone — combine with a flexible feeder for dispersion, or consider 3D vision.

  • Perfect mirror surface

    Lighting and exposure alone may not be enough — part markings, engravings, or a side camera may be needed.

    Submit part sample →

  • Ultra-high speed (>120 PPM) single part

    High-speed single-model lines may suit inspection vision + conveyor automation better — RVA may be over-configured for non-multi-model cases.
