Zivid has announced the immediate availability of its Zivid 2+ R-Series, a next-generation lineup of 3D cameras engineered for robotic pick, place, and manipulation tasks in demanding industrial environments. These applications include e-commerce, logistics, and manufacturing sectors, where accuracy, speed, and reliability are critical.
According to the manufacturer, the Zivid 2+ R-Series introduces combined 3D and 2D imaging technology that enhances robot cycle times and provides consistent performance under varying ambient light and temperature conditions. This system minimizes errors such as mispicks, double picks, and product drops while reducing the potential for damage. Its built-in 2D camera, optimized for AI-based segmentation, eliminates the need for external 2D cameras, calibration tools, and additional equipment, resulting in a simplified robot cell configuration.
The series achieves a 3x speed improvement over its predecessor, the Zivid 2+. It can generate highly accurate point clouds for challenging items like shiny or transparent objects in under 150 milliseconds, ensuring that robot cycle times remain unaffected. For parcel sorting and induction tasks, the system captures a wide variety of parcel types in just 50 milliseconds, enabling pick rates of up to 2,000 items per hour. This speed and precision make the Zivid 2+ R-Series suitable for high-speed manufacturing and logistics environments.
In addition, the built-in 2D camera delivers high-quality images with true and stable colors, high contrast, and minimal aliasing. Its immunity to variations in ambient lighting ensures optimal performance for AI-based segmentation tasks, enhancing segmentation accuracy with smaller training datasets. The seamless integration of 2D and 3D imaging eliminates the need for intrinsic 2D-to-3D calibration, further streamlining robot cell design and implementation.
According to Zivid, the Zivid 2+ R-Series also includes a new 3D reconstruction engine, which minimizes reflection artifacts and improves CAD matching for metallic and reflective components. With a 4x acquisition speed improvement, robot-mounted configurations are now even more feasible, addressing complex manufacturing tasks with higher accuracy and efficiency.
Three models are available within the series, each optimized for specific industrial applications. The MR60 model is suited for high-precision manipulation tasks, such as assembly and robot guidance, offering flexibility for robot-mounted configurations. The MR130 model is designed for high-speed piece-picking, parcel induction, and bin-picking from standard-sized bins and totes. The LR110 model supports applications requiring a larger field of view, such as robot-mounted bin-picking from large or multiple bins, delivering high-quality results in these scenarios.
