UFACTORY xArm 6 is equipped with a vacuum gripper

Background

In mixed-model production and logistics sorting, recognizing, classifying, and orienting parts connects upstream and downstream processes. Manual sorting is repetitive and error-prone, while automation depends heavily on vision and algorithm capability.

Industry Pain Points

Classification, Fatigue, and Downstream Precision

Many part types and disordered poses make recognition and classification difficult.
Manual sorting can cause wrong picks, missed parts, and fatigue.
Downstream assembly or packaging needs consistently oriented, neatly arranged incoming parts.

Why UFACTORY Cobots

Cost and ROI 01

Cost and ROI

As execution hardware for sorting and orientation, UFACTORY cobots offer competitive hardware costs, improving total project economics and shortening payback.

Open Vision Access 02

Open Vision Access

Built-in Gigabit Ethernet gives integrators high-speed access to 2D/3D cameras for recognition, classification, and pose detection without ecosystem lock-in.

Open Development 03

Open Development

ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs help convert recognition and classification results into sorting, orientation, and placement logic.

Easy End-Effector Setup 04

Easy End-Effector Setup

The ISO flange and standard I/O simplify integration of vacuum cups, grippers, conveyors, and bins for different workpiece shapes and materials.

Precise Orientation 05

Precise Orientation

Up to ±0.02 mm repeatability helps rotate, adjust, and place parts in consistent poses for smoother downstream assembly or packaging.

Continuous Sorting 06

Continuous Sorting

The robot runs stable recognize, pick, classify, orient, and place cycles, maintaining sorting takt beyond manual shift limits.

Labor Reallocation 07

Labor Reallocation

Automating repetitive sorting helps reduce fatigue, misclassification, and labor constraints while moving workers to higher-value roles.
