Software synchronizes data from Micro-Epsilon sensors with robot movements for accurate cable positioning in wiring harnesses, offering an efficient and economical application solution. Automation plays a crucial role in modern production, ensuring cost-effective and high-quality products. Precise handling of flexible components like wiring harnesses is challenging due to their deformable nature. Contactless position detection allows robots to accurately grasp and insert cables into connector housings. 

The high-resolution Scancontrol 3010-200 laser profile scanners measure cable position and geometry in real time, enabling robots to securely grip and mount them at designated slots. Software processes and synchronizes measurement data with robot movements, ensuring precise cable insertion. This real-time synchronization provides precise position detection and reliable processing, forming a flexible automation cell that can be adapted programmatically, enhancing production efficiency without costly mechanical changes.
