Pickit's primary product line consists of 3D vision systems, which are integrated solutions encompassing 3D cameras, industrial processors, and smart software. The Pickit M-HD/M-HD2 model is a high-definition 3D vision system for small and medium parts or surfaces, capable of detecting objects as small as 10x10x5mm. This model utilizes structured light for 3D measurement, offering a 3D camera resolution of 1920x1200 pixels and a precision of 0.15-0.8mm. The Pickit L-HD/L-HD2 is a large field-of-view 3D vision system suitable for medium to large parts and surfaces, including large bins or billets, capable of detecting objects from 50x50x10mm. The Pickit L-SD/SD2 is a versatile and cost-effective system for medium to large bin picking or machine loading applications, employing active stereo measurement with a resolution of 1280x960 pixels and an accuracy of 4.0-10.0mm. With the Pickit 4.0 release, new high-definition cameras like the XS-HD2-C100 offer up to 0.1mm robot guidance accuracy, while the XL-HD2-C1600 provides a detection distance of up to 5m, covering more than four Euro Pallets. The software features an intuitive web interface for programming all processes without requiring specialized coding training, incorporating AI-driven core technology components such as camera drivers, detection engines, viewers, and robot-camera calibration. Additionally, various application modules like Pickit Find, Pickit Lite, Pickit Depal, Pickit Plus, and Pickit All-in-one offer tailored functionalities for specific automation needs.Pickit'sprimaryproductlineconsistsof3Dvisionsystems,whichareintegratedsolutionsencompassing3Dcameras,industrialprocessors,andsmartsoftware.ThePickitM-HD/M-HD2modelisahigh-definition3Dvisionsystemforsmallandmediumpartsorsurfaces,capableofdetectingobjectsassmallas10x10x5mm.Thismodelutilizesstructuredlightfor3Dmeasurement,offeringa3Dcameraresolutionof1920x1200pixelsandaprecisionof0.15-0.8mm.ThePickitL-HD/L-HD2isalargefield-of-view3Dvisionsystemsuitableformediumtolargepartsandsurfaces,includinglargebinsorbillets,capableofdetectingobjectsfrom50x50x10mm.ThePickitL-SD/SD2isaversatileandcost-effectivesystemformediumtolargebinpickingormachineloadingapplications,employingactivestereomeasurementwitharesolutionof1280x960pixelsandanaccuracyof4.0-10.0mm.WiththePickit4.0release,newhigh-definitioncamerasliketheXS-HD2-C100offerupto0.1mmrobotguidanceaccuracy,whiletheXL-HD2-C1600providesadetectiondistanceofupto5m,coveringmorethanfourEuroPallets.Thesoftwarefeaturesanintuitivewebinterfaceforprogrammingallprocesseswithoutrequiringspecializedcodingtraining,incorporatingAI-drivencoretechnologycomponentssuchascameradrivers,detectionengines,viewers,androbot-cameracalibration.Additionally,variousapplicationmoduleslikePickitFind,PickitLite,PickitDepal,PickitPlus,andPickitAll-in-oneoffertailoredfunctionalitiesforspecificautomationneeds.
