Mech Mind is a Chinese-based sensor company that provides a wide-range of sensors for robotic automation. They even have deployments involving AI-driven automation.
The sensor used for this testing:
NANO ULTRA
Use Cases: Robotic bin picking, inspection, measurement, assembly, logistics automation
Key Characteristics
- Ultra‑compact form factor: 125 × 46 × 76 mm, only 0.7 kg
- High‑precision 3D imaging for robotic perception
- Blue LED structured light (440 nm) for stable, high‑contrast depth capture
- Monochrome 2D imaging
- Passive cooling and IP65 protection for industrial environments. High temp environments may require additional cooling - like heavy welding applications
Power & Connectivity
- Input: 24 VDC, 3.75 A
- Interface: Ethernet
- Design: Rugged, sealed, but likely will require shutter actuation for high-spatter welding environments
What It’s Typically Used For
- High‑speed robotic picking (small parts, irregular objects)
- Precision inspection and measurement. 0.5mm resolution approximately.
- Automation in tight spaces where larger cameras won’t fit. Very good for robot-mounted sensor. Similar size to AccuFast (Yaskawa product)
- Applications requiring stable 3D data under varying lighting conditions
For this application we used it to discover the location and orientation of a weld seam, creating absolute positioning for weld path. (Note: most other sensors for seam-finding of weld joints use relative positioning)
