We offer the 3D measurement camera 'YCAM3D', which has a diverse range of applications including dimension measurement, random picking, and the medical field, as well as the 'YRSF-1000', which enables the supply of a variety of small parts. These two products include a camera used for picking and a custom-compatible robot screw feeder that utilizes this camera. Both products come with free documentation. 【Features of YCAM3D】 ■ High-speed shooting in 0.6 seconds ■ Made in Japan ■ PC interface: Gigabit Ethernet ■ Camera lens (M12 mount) and projector lens (C mount) options available ■ Dustproof and waterproof ■ Bright LED suitable for various scenes *For more details, please refer to the PDF documentation or feel free to contact us.

We offer a bulk recognition software called 'Picking Vision' that allows for the mixing of workpieces, as well as a 3D measurement camera 'YCAM3D' that can be applied in various fields such as dimension measurement, random picking, and the medical sector. Both products come with free informational materials. 【Features of Picking Vision】 ■ Capable of mixing workpieces ■ Includes component shape registration work ■ Enables high-speed and high-precision estimation ■ Capable of estimating the shapes of small components ■ Can estimate even if there are shape differences between CAD data and the actual object ■ Developed in-house, allowing us to tackle workpieces that are difficult for other companies' pattern matching *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

- Mixed work is possible - Includes part shape registration work (can be used immediately after purchase without the need for parameter settings) - High-speed and high-precision estimation is possible - Capable of estimating small part shapes (can recognize sizes of about 1 cm) - Estimation is possible even if there are shape differences between CAD data and the actual object (this software absorbs the differences) - Developed in-house, so it can tackle work that is difficult for other companies' pattern matching systems

"YCAM3D" is a lightweight and compact 3D measurement camera that is easy to integrate into industrial robots. It enables high-precision measurement suitable for recognizing and picking industrial parts, and it can also measure black objects by adjusting the light intensity. Additionally, the 3D point cloud data captured by the 3D vision sensor can be registered as a master and applied to picking systems. 【Features】 ■ Equipped with a pattern projector for factory automation ■ Camera parameters published on ROS ■ Real-time distance image output can be applied for collision detection and more ■ Proposes solutions tailored to specific needs using RAW images, rectified images, etc. *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

The "Body Balance Monitor" scans the body surface in 3D to visualize distortions (asymmetries). Distortions that are difficult to discern visually and the status of distortion improvement can be clearly understood through a color map. This product is based on the R-ICP (Reflected Iterative Closest Point) algorithm for visualizing asymmetries, which was jointly developed by Hokkaido University and Noah Co., Ltd. [Examples of Use] ■ Determining treatment policies for massages and chiropractic care, as well as recommended training policies based on the visualized distortion images. ■ Confirming the effectiveness of improvements before and after treatment. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Introducing the benefits and features of 'VT (Visual Teach)' in an easy-to-understand manga format. The advantages and characteristics are explained clearly through manga. It allows for three-dimensional recognition of objects while simultaneously pairing the teaching path of the arm. Thanks to high-precision positioning technology, the spatial relationship between the object and the teaching points can be accurately reproduced, enabling speedy work and achieving high precision in playback. You can view the manga booklet from the "PDF Download" link below. 【Features】 ■ High-precision positioning technology ■ Three-dimensional (3D) recognition of objects using a built-in patterned light source in the projector ■ Simultaneous pairing of the arm's teaching path ■ Speedy work with high-precision playback ■ Detailed path settings possible with actual object teaching *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

At Mazda Corporation, a robot for transferring cranks stacked in a grid has been equipped with a 3D vision camera (YCAM3D) and 3D vision software (VT: Visual Teach). Thanks to the capabilities of VT: Visual Teach, we have achieved the transfer of crankshafts without collisions or gripping failures by accurately determining the robot's gripping position and posture. *For more details, please watch the video or feel free to contact us.

The "3D Vision Software (VT: Visual Teach)" developed by YOODS can easily add a positioning function that automatically corrects the misalignment of workpieces by simply equipping existing industrial robots with a 3D vision camera and a dedicated controller. Unlike typical vision systems, the control of the robot arm is performed using the traditional teaching and playback method of robot language, and the system will correct the misalignment of the workpiece from the taught position. As a result, even in the event of a malfunction, there is no need to wait for maintenance personnel from the vision system side, allowing customers to easily recover on their own. 【Features】 ■ No need to purchase expensive positioning devices ■ Improved productivity by preventing production line stoppages due to workpiece misalignment ■ No need to worry about the orientation of the workpiece when gripping it ■ After installing this system, adding new workpieces or repurposing for different lines only requires modifying the robot language and registering the new workpiece's 3D data as a master *For more details, please watch the video or feel free to contact us.
