3D-Locate™ software delivers accurate, real-time 3D position information to improve vision performance in a wide range of applications where 2D tools alone are not enough. This makes it possible for automation equipment to handle a wide variety of parts, including items that are stacked or tilted.

You can use 3D-Locate to improve vision performance in challenging applications such as logistics and robot-guided de-palletizing and precision assembly,

3D-Locate can be used in:
  • Single camera applications that need more information than a 2D approach can offer
  • Robot-mounted single or stereo camera guidance
  • Work cells with multiple fixed-mount cameras, to eliminate mechanical fixtures
  • Dimensioning, sorting and picking applications on conveyor lines
3D-Locate draws upon patented geometric pattern-matching algorithms
Cognex 3D-Locate software provides a library of 3D vision software tools that expands application possibilities in vision-guided robotics, assembly, and inspection.

Many 3D vision packages fail to meet expectations because the systems cannot deliver reliable, repeatable results. With 3D-Locate, Cognex has leveraged more than a decade of experience in 3D applications to create a robust, general purpose 3D tool library.

3D-Locate uses multiple sets of two-dimensional features found by Cognex’s patented geometric pattern matching tool, PatMax®, to determine an object’s precise three-dimensional orientation. 3D-Locate works even when some features are obscured or are not found by all of the cameras.
