Industrial AI-3D vision for difficult parts: Cambrian Vision reflective DVD test

One of Cambrian Vision’s core advantages very clearly: lighting doesn’t matter, the system just works. This matters across many industries where reflective, shiny or inconsistent lighting conditions normally break traditional machine vision: Electronics manufacturing – glossy parts, metal housings, connector shells Automotive – chrome elements, metal brackets, reflective clips EV & battery assembly – shiny metallic cell covers, trays, connector surfaces Home appliances – glossy plastics, coated parts Medical device assembly – stainless steel tools and precise components Cambrian’s AI-driven 3D prediction enables: ✔ Reliable detection under changing ambient light ✔ Accurate 6D poses in ~200 ms ✔ Robustness against shiny, black, transparent, or difficult surfaces ✔ Seamless integration with cobots and industrial robots

Specs & Details

Applications and use cases include:

Bin picking and robotic sorting of mixed or unstructured parts
Pick and place operations with high precision
Kitting and component classification for assembly lines
Precision assembly of reflective, black, or transparent components
Cable handling and wire insertion in confined or complex spaces
Machine tending and material loading
Object localization, part recognition, and vision-guided robotics

Benefits

Versatile Part Compatibility

Cambrian is capable of identifying and picking a wide variety of parts—transparent, plastic, shiny metal, and more.

Reliable in All Lighting Conditions

Cambrian is engineered to perform reliably under any lighting condition, including direct sunlight, disco lights, and standard indoor lighting.

High-Speed Performance

With a prediction time of approximately 0.2 seconds, Cambrian enables industrial robot pick cycle times of 2–3 seconds in bin-picking applications.

High-Precision Part Detection

Cambrian achieves sub-millimeter accuracy in detecting and picking parts, ensuring precise and consistent performance.

How It Works

Fast and Simple Setup

Cambrian Vision is an add-on for robotic arms. Simply mount the Cambrian camera module, connect the cables, set the IP addresses—and you're ready to go.

High-Quality Camera Module

The Cambrian camera module features high-quality, off-the-shelf industrial cameras for reliable performance and durability.

Powerful Software and Hardware

Cambrian software allows users to define pick points and configure the application. It operates on a powerful GPU-equipped computing unit included with the system for optimal performance.

Workflow

01. Define pick points

- On Cambrian PickEditor, define pick points for the part at a speed of 2-5 minutes/per part.

02. AI Training

- AI trains independently and automatically with simulated data. It learns to detect the defined pick points and parts. There is no training needed on the real robot.

03. Operate

- Integrate the Cambrian pick procedure into your robot code. Configure, monitor, and log performance from Cambrian runtime software.
