Bin Picking & Sortation

Pick straight from the clutter. No feeders, no nests.

Vision-guided picking of jumbled parts from bins and streams, singulated and sorted without fixtures or dedicated feeding tooling.

01Why now

The work is changing faster than you can staff it.

The dexterous, high-mix, contact-rich jobs are exactly the work classical automation was never built to hold — and the people who used to absorb it are getting harder to find.

Retire the part-feeding tooling

Vibratory bowls, nests, and tray loaders each serve one part and demand weeks of mechanical retooling when the part changes. Picking straight from the bin removes that tooling entirely, along with its lead time, floor space, and recurring change cost.

Cut the labor at the bin

Hand-feeding, sorting, and singulating parts is repetitive, ergonomically hard, and increasingly unstaffed. A vision-guided cell absorbs that work directly, holding throughput steady across shifts without the headcount these stations have always required.

Built for high mix

When part numbers turn over constantly, fixed feeding never amortizes. A cell that reconfigures in software picks today's part and the next one from the same bin, qualified at HQ and tuned on-site, so new parts come online in software rather than steel.

02What we automate

What the service covers.

One cell, reconfigured per part — not a new machine for every job on the floor.

A

Random bin picking

Pick unsorted parts from a deep tote at arbitrary pose and orientation.

B

Singulation

Separate one part at a time from a bulk pile or moving stream.

C

Kit picking

Pull a defined set of parts from multiple bins to build a kit.

D

Machine tending

Feed parts from a bin directly into a CNC, press, or molding machine.

E

Assembly feed

Present singulated parts at known pose to a downstream assembly station.

F

Type sorting

Sort a mixed bin into separate destinations by part type or SKU.

03See the work

One cell. Assembly, inspection, finishing.

A

On the line

Bin Picking & Sortation work handled at line rate, across the mix.

B

Assembly

Insertions, press-fits, and fastening with force control.

C

Inspection

Closed-loop machine vision. Every part checked, not sampled.

D

Cleaning & finishing

Deburring, spray, and surface work, adapted per part.

04How we work

Qualified off-site. Running in two weeks.

The slow, hard engineering happens on our floor — so the cell arrives tested and dialed in instead of tying up your team for months. A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.

  1. 01ScopePart, takt, fixturing, and safety boundary fixed upfront.
  2. 02Pre-buildCell built and tuned at Relling HQ, not your line.
  3. 03ConfigureSized and fixtured to your exact part.
  4. 04QualifyProven safe and capable before it ships.

05Inside the cell

Everything arrives in one qualified unit.

Arm, sensing, tooling, software, and safety, selected for your part and qualified as a set.
