AutoGuide_MT features Helix_evo 3D scanning sensors and a software package targeted to simplify the automation of loading, unloading, and locating parts in the manufacturing assembly line. The designed-for-guide sensor provides a large field-of-view and standoff that are optimized to handle large placement variation with enough accuracy that complex, precision fixtures and tooling are no longer required. The intuitive interface includes powerful software tools, allowing for simple setup with scan-to-CAD calibration, smart algorithms, and a heads-up dashboard. This next-generation product was designed to take the guesswork and hassle out of robot guidance, delivering “ease of use” and an increased value proposition to customers.

AutoGuide_MT supports all major robot brands and communication requirements, and is capable of supporting one or more robots, while scalable up to 16 Helix_evo sensors for multiple models.
