Shiny, metallic, or reflective surfaces are notoriously difficult for vision-guided robots. Reflections confuse sensors, glare obscures edges, and classic 3D cameras often fail to deliver reliable data. But with SANEZOO GRASP, these challenges are not a problem — they’re a solved equation.
The Challenge of Reflective Surfaces
Most 3D vision systems rely on structured light or laser scanning. When aimed at a polished or reflective part:
-
The light scatters or reflects unpredictably
-
Key features are distorted or invisible
-
Object shapes appear broken or incomplete
-
Grip point prediction becomes unreliable
This results in failed picks, longer cycle times, or the need to pre-treat parts — none of which are ideal for efficient production.
How GRASP Handles It
GRASP uses a robust, industrial-grade vision pipeline specifically built to handle difficult surfaces. With intelligent software and adaptive lighting, it can reliably recognize and localize:
-
Polished metal components
-
Glossy plastic parts
-
Chrome elements and coated objects
-
Any items that reflect light or blend into their background
Key Features for Shiny Part Picking
-
Glare-resistant vision processing – Extracts real object data despite reflections
-
Multi-frame scanning – Merges multiple views to eliminate blind spots
-
LED Grid System – Adjusts lighting angles to reveal details on reflective parts
-
Reliable grip point evaluation – Finds stable grips even on sleek or rounded surfaces
-
No extra hardware needed – Software handles it without special coatings or fixtures
Real-World Use Cases
From the automotive industry to consumer electronics, shiny parts are everywhere:
-
Brake disks, heat shields, metal housings
-
Chrome-plated parts and mirror-finished components
-
Polished aluminum castings
-
Shiny plastic covers or bezels
In all these cases, GRASP delivers stable, accurate picks — with no special part preparation.
What Makes It Different?
Unlike generic 3D systems, GRASP is designed specifically for industrial variability. It doesn’t just "see" the part — it understands the geometry in context, even under harsh lighting or low contrast.
And when paired with SANEZOO’s LED Grid System, you get adaptive illumination that reveals contours other systems miss.
Shine Is No Longer a Problem
With GRASP, your bin picking can handle what others can’t:
Reflective, shiny, or polished parts — picked with confidence, speed, and repeatability.
