SICK Robot guidance systems Body Position System

The robot guidance Body Position System (BPS) is a contactless camera-based system for the precise localization of vehicle bodies. The system measures reference points (RPS) on vehicle bodies and transmits them to the robot. Based on the collected data, the robot then performs various applications according to the actual vehicle position. BPS is a technologically advanced replacement for the mechanical devices currently used in skid carrier-based automotive manufacturing. This enables the fully automated production of any number of different vehicle types in just one production line.
