LumiScan VGR

3D vision-guided robotics software for bin picking and automated assembly with LumiScan X.

LumiScan VGR is 3D vision-guided robotics software for bin picking and automated assembly. It builds point clouds with the LumiScan X light-field camera, localizes the parts by matching 3D models or, for complex scenes, with machine learning, and calculates the 6-DoF pose and possible grip points of every object.

Robot kinematics and a collision model plan a collision-free path for the robot. The PLC controls each step and receives the best grip point over PROFINET or OPC UA – from image capture to the pick in one robot cell.

Features

  • Point clouds from the LumiScan X 3D light-field camera
  • Object localization via 3D model matching or machine learning
  • 6-DoF pose and ranked grip points for every object
  • Collision-free path planning based on the robot model
  • Recipes that run a complete cycle with a single call
  • Hand-eye calibration for station-mounted and robot-mounted cameras

Typical applications

  • Bin picking of parts from boxes and bins
  • Automated assembly
  • Pick and place
  • Machine tending

Integration

  • PLC communication via PROFINET or OPC UA
  • Ready-made interfaces for robots such as UR, KUKA and ABB
  • Industrial PC with Windows 11 and an NVIDIA GPU
  • Configured with LumiScan VGR Engineering, stored as a JSON settings file
  • Simulation mode: replay recorded images and point clouds without camera or PLC

Frequently asked questions

How does LumiScan VGR find the parts?

It builds point clouds, localizes the parts by 3D model matching or, for complex scenes, with machine learning, and calculates the 6-DoF pose and ranked grip points of every object.

How does VGR connect to the PLC and the robot?

The PLC controls each step and receives the best grip point over PROFINET or OPC UA. Ready-made interfaces exist for robots such as UR, KUKA and ABB.

Which computer does VGR need?

An industrial PC with Windows 11 and an NVIDIA GPU. The application is configured with LumiScan VGR Engineering and stored as a JSON settings file.

What is the difference between LumiScan VGR and VGR Lite?

Both include collision checking and collision-free path planning. The difference is the recognition method: LumiScan VGR localizes parts by 3D model (CAD) matching or with AI, VGR Lite works purely AI-based with a trained ONNX network, which you create with LumiScan Annotation Framework and Training Framework. Neither product requires a CAD model.

Can we test without camera and PLC?

Yes. The simulation mode replays recorded images and point clouds without camera or PLC.
