Teaching part variants for 3D inspection with an ABB PoWa cobot
For a new part variant, the operator teaches the inspection task in LumiScan VGR. ABB Robotics and HD Vision Systems demonstrated this workflow with a PoWa cobot, the LumiScan X light-field camera and additional sensing from AT Sensors.
Joint demonstration presented in October 2026
The task
When the mix of parts changes frequently, programming a separate inspection routine for every variant adds setup work. The partners wanted a workflow that a production team could adapt by teaching each variant.
The solution
The ABB PoWa provides the robot motion. HD Vision Systems brought LumiScan X and the VGR software to the station and integrated the AT Sensors hardware through the same vision platform.
The result
The partners demonstrated 3D visual inspection and a way to introduce new part variants without programming a new routine for each one. They identified small batches with frequent changeovers and series production as intended applications.
