3D Vision Robot Programmer โ Bin Picking Systems
Location: Orion, Michigan
Employment Type: Contract (Mid-July through December 2026)
Compensation: $33.00โ$40.00 per hour (commensurate with proven work history)
A day in the life
You arrive on site, open a fresh project in Photoneo, and start a careful handโeye calibration. Bins and totes are staged; you tune localization profiles and run trials on real parts. Before lunch, youโve taught a safe start pose and a robust drop path, then switch over to Keyence to validate another 3D bin scenario. The afternoon is for logicโcrafting pick-to-Matrox sequences, flip/qualify checks, and bin empty/tote empty routinesโfollowed by a quick Ethernet handshake test between the robot, vision controller, and the client/server. You wrap the day debugging with the PLC programmer, moving a cell from teach to fully automatic operation.
What youโll own
- Vision systems integration (Photoneo, Keyence, Matrox): Configure and calibrate Photoneo and Keyence 3D bin picking environments; load Matrox 2D/3D projects, adjust camera parameters, and craft precise multi-face detection โrecipes.โ
- Calibration & localization: Execute handโeye calibration, scan EOAT, and establish accurate localization profiles for bins and totes.
- Robot programming: Teach complex paths (rough approaches, start poses, drop and reject routines) and develop advanced logic, including pick-to-Matrox, flip/qualify, and empty-bin/tote sequences.
- Integration & communications: Stand up reliable Ethernet communications among robots, vision controllers, and client/server architectures.
- Hardware & commissioning: Commission robots end-to-end; install and configure Photoneo or Keyence vision cabinets; set up EOAT with MAGSWITCH magnetic grippers and suction cups; verify and test functions.
- PLC collaboration: Partner with PLC engineers to troubleshoot interlocks and transition systems from manual teach to automatic mode.
- Process & quality: Apply deep bin-picking expertiseโfile loading, simulation deliverables, and rough grasping methodsโthen fine-tune grasp strategies and localization for maximum reliability.
