Vision automation that spots errors early with Artificial Intelligence and guides the next step.
Cameras give clear answers when manual checks miss defects or slow the line. Qubotix delivers camera solutions and pick workflows that support repeat production decisions.
Detect the Issue. Trigger the Next Step. Fast.
Vision automation works best when it solves a simple need: detect the issue at the right moment and trigger the next action fast. This page covers 2D camera setups for surface and code checks, 3D camera setups for depth and shape checks, and pick and place systems that use vision to guide the move.
2D Camera Solutions
Surface checks, code reads, and presence verification at line speed
2D cameras catch common production issues that slip through manual checks. A setup can verify labels, codes, presence, orientation, dimensions, and print quality at high speed. It also helps stations confirm the right part before the next step starts.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Run presence and absence checks at stations and stop missing-part errors before packing.
- Read 1D and 2D codes for traceability and reject wrong labels early.
- Verify print quality and label position on fast-moving parts and cartons.
- Guide simple positioning tasks by finding edges, marks, and reference points in a stable view.
- Use compact smart camera setups such as Smart Camera when space stays tight at the station.
- Use Industrial Cameras for quick checks at High Speeds.

3D Camera Solutions
Depth, shape, and height checks that 2D cannot close
3D cameras solve problems that 2D cannot close. Depth helps when height, shape, or placement matters. A 3D view also supports picking tasks when parts sit in random positions.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Measure height and depth differences that 2D views cannot confirm.
- Detect missing components that sit "in place" in 2D but fail height checks in 3D.
- Verify shape and placement for parts that sit at odd angles or vary in form.
- Support bin picking workflows where parts arrive in random orientation.
- Use 3D camera options such as Line Laser 3D Camera when the job needs point cloud output for real-time checks.
- Use 3D profile sensing, such as 3D Laser Profile Sensor for contour and edge checks that need reliable depth data.

Pick and Place
Vision-guided picking for consistent, error-free robot placement
Pick and place becomes reliable when vision confirms the part position before the move. Vision guidance reduces wrong picks and avoids stoppages from misalignment. The same approach also supports sorting and placement tasks across stations.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Guide pick points through vision so the robot grabs the right part in the right orientation.
- Support random bin picking with 3D vision when parts arrive mixed in a bin.
- Confirm presence before the pick and prevent empty picks that waste cycle time.
- Add code checks before placement so the right part goes to the right location.
- Use 2D vision for fast placement tasks where depth does not matter.
- Use 3D vision when parts vary in height or sit in random pose and the pick needs depth.

Common Questions
01.What does a camera based inspection system check on a production line?
A camera setup checks what a human misses at speed. It can confirm presence, orientation, label position, and code readability. It helps stations act faster with a clear pass or fail outcome.
02.How does an industrial smart camera help when space stays tight?
A smart camera packs camera and processing into one unit. It suits stations with limited space and simple inspection needs. It also supports traceability checks through code reading.
03.When should a line choose a machine vision camera over manual checks?
Choose it when manual checks miss defects or slow the cycle. Vision keeps inspection consistent across shifts. It also supports automated decisions that a person cannot repeat at the same speed.
04.What does vision-guided pick and place solve in real production?
Vision guidance reduces wrong picks and misplacement. It helps robots pick parts that arrive in mixed position. It also supports sorting tasks when part flow changes through the day.
05.What should a plant share before speaking to a pick and place robot integrator?
Share the part type, pick surface, cycle time, and the placement accuracy need. Share photos of the bin or feeder and the station layout. This info helps define camera type and pick approach early.
