The compact radar sensors impress with their versatility in demanding environments and tight installation situations. With different aperture angles - ±3° (6°), ±7.5° (15°) or a particularly narrow ±1.5° (3°) - they offer maximum focussing for precise positioning tasks and reliable object detection. Thanks to measuring rates of up to 500 Hz, a measuring range of 0.3 m to 40 m and a measuring accuracy of up to ±0.1 mm, they enable a wide range of applications with state-of-the-art radar technology. Thanks to their intuitive operation, the sensors are easy to integrate into existing control concepts. Supported by a PROFINET interface, integrated web server and user-friendly tools, they create transparency in operation and simplify implementation. Whether as a stand-alone solution or in system solutions - the radar sensors combine precision, speed and robustness for the highest requirements.

The radio controlled safety system UH 6900 of the SAFEMASTER W series, consisting of one group controller and up to 255 group receivers for the safety-related, wireless transmission of emergency stop and control functions, offers more flexibility in safeguarding hazardous areas. High availability, long range and safety are achieved by implementing the latest radio technologies. With the group controller, several receivers can be safely switched off via a unidirectional, safetyrelated radio link. Furthermore, the controller can exchange message, control and status information with a receiving device.

Fast and Easy Detection of Rectangular Objects with BoxPick Depalletizing Software The rc_reason BoxPick depalletizing software module is an optional on-board component of the rc_visard that provides a perception solution for robotic pick-and-place applications such as de-/palletizing and sorting of packages. It allows the detection of stationary objects with rectangular surfaces and the determination of their position, orientation and size for picking. • Initial identification of load carrier for bin-picking • Reliable detection of flat, rectangular surface(s) • Identification of size, position, and orientation of rectangular objects • Works with static and robot-mounted sensors • Works with different grippers (suction, two-finger)

Reliable CAD-based Detection without Onsite Image Acquisition The rc_reason CADMatch machine tending software module uses a CAD model as input, AppliedAI-based machine learning techniques for ensuring reliable detection, and highly intuitive user interfaces for ultimate usability. The module enables a robotic system to reliably detect, locate and pick objects from unmixed load carriers, completely independent of the object‘s position and orientation. The user can easily configure the grasp points on any trained object through the WebGUI and add additional information about the load carrier and gripper for a complete visualization of the point cloud and potential collisions. This software solution can significantly increase the efficiency of production processes, for example by automating machine tending, kitting processes or assembly operations. • Detection and localization of objects based on CAD data • Provides grasp point(s) for reliable pick-and-place tasks • Template creation provided as a service • Improves the efficiency of automation processes

AI-Based Grasping and Oriented Placement of 'Unseen' Objects The rc_reason ItemPickAI software enables the efficient separation and oriented placement of so-called ‘unseen’ objects – i.e. objects that the system has not explicitly learned by teaching models or seen in training data beforehand. This AI-based solution for robotic pick-and-place applications with suction grippers calculates aligned grasp poses for a suction gripper on unknown, deformable objects of a certain category. These objects can come in chaotic boxes or load carriers, and both mixed and unmixed configurations are possible. During commissioning, only the object category (e.g. ‘bag’) and the size of the gripper’s suction cup need to be selected. These parameters can be flexibly adapted to new conditions at any time. This means that pick-and-place applications such as picking and (de)palletizing can be implemented efficiently within a very short time frame, even without expert knowledge in the field of AI or image processing. The rc_reason ItemPickAI module runs offboard with any 3D sensor via Roboception’s rc_cube and is configured and read out via the standard interface. ItemPickAI calculates a configurable number of grasp poses for a suction device on all identified objects within a predefined workspace.

Fast and Easy Detection of Flat Objects with User-Generated Templates The rc_reason SilhouetteMatch machine tending software module detects the position and orientation of relatively flat objects that are positioned on a plane, by matching the current scene to a previously taught template. Increased usability enables users to generate templates through the web interface by uploading a DXF-file of the object. • Detection of shallow objects, calculation of their 3D pose • Automatic and flexible detection of the base plane • Works with static and robot-mounted sensors • On-board data processing: No need for external hardware Typical applications include machine tending or emptying load carriers of several (separated) layers of objects. With the latest extension, SilhouetteMatch can now also be used for destacking e.g. sheets of metal. In this case, the object closest to the camera is detected as relevant plane and no base plane calibration is required.

The rc_reason suite of software modules is an advanced AppliedAI solution designed for robotic applications: Users select the plug-and-produce software module that best meets their individual needs, and with a few mouse clicks, our 3D stereo products provide task-relevant information such as grasp points. A wide range of applications can be realized, from machine tending and order picking to (de-)palletizing. The basic software package of our intelligent sensors and platforms can be extended with selected elements from the modular rc_reason software suite to optimize the performance for specific robot applications. rc_reason components can be easily activated on any device and intuitively operated via the standard user interface.
