It is newest video technology of the foundation with PC, make small lot produces a workshop to realize robot automation operation to become a possibility. Big batch production expands hand in hand together with robot automation. The robot that produces the application in the plan in this kind does not need very big flexibility, they just repeat on past machine of 100 thousand ground assemble and unassemble a kind of spare parts. However, to get used to workpiece change often to be produced with small lot, this kind of robot that lacks flexibility hampered robot automation the system blends in the possibility that works to the workshop. FANUC robot company developed the video system that is a foundation with V-500iA PC, this system passes special design, make small lot produces a workshop to realize robot automation operation to become a possibility thereby. The workshop of different dimensions can share all advantages that automation machinery offers, include higher main shaft utilization rate among them, have be measured dozen of burr, automatically automatically or assemble automatically wait for a function, and the way that can change with intelligence uses artificial labor force. Be in charge of the view of general manager Mr Richard Johnson that stock carries according to FANUC company, it is newest video technology of the foundation with PC, can make the robot is chosen automatically take a part, need not use clamping apparatus of fixed position of appropriative spare parts. Now, can deliver the part the robot with not quite complex configuration (pass leather belt transport for example) , and the robot needs to be debugged appropriately only, change its to place held pattern, can make its clip takes a kind of new part. Robot besides the position that can determine a part, still can discern through video technology all sorts of different spare partses inside series of some spare parts. The kind that the video system that is a foundation with PC allows to run the part in order to do not have clip unit conveys robot. This kind of means has quite tall flexibility, agree with the spare parts of different geometry appearance is deferent, in environment of small lot production, using this kind of means is completely necessary Mr Johnson raised a few questions here, he thinks on the machine person that can use current video system mechanical operation. Where to photograph installation resembling a head to be in? System of a video is in can install in the begining one or more photograph like the head, basically can film like the head through photographing the camera lens of a spare parts, such, systematic software can determine the position of the spare parts and direction. It is OK like the head to photograph installation is on the arm of a robot, take the picture of the spare parts through different point of view. It is OK like the head to be photographed still installation is choosing the place that takes a spare parts to be in further upper part or its photograph adjacent from the robot. Remote of installation photograph like the head, it is OK that its install the position the arm of prep above robot, can make photograph the depth of field that resembles a head to reach the biggest range thereby. For example, be in to storing multilayer the spare parts in goods make an inventory of goods in a warehouse, those who be in perch it is OK like the head to photograph focalization, ground of from the top down takes the picture of each spare parts. Can current video system see better Hunan? Inchoate video system is particularly sensitive to illume and contrast requirement. These systems use binary means, namely image resembles element each times medium is not open even if shut. A lot of current video systems are a foundation with gray scale class, their software has aftertreatment capacity, it can improve the quality of image further. With respect to illume and contrast character, system of class of this kind of gray scale should be had than binary system bigger include quality, but effective illume still is a crucial part in video system after all. How does the robot identify a part? Video system can decide goods dish the spare parts place that arranges with different way on medium, conveyer belt. FANUC company offers the part that runs unit without fixed mix to store library, this kind stores the library is used multilayer goods dish, when there is a spare parts inside the library, the robot can open them automatically or shut. Be close to a goods make an inventory of goods in a warehouse of the spare parts again next. The software that V-500iA system uses has pair of geometry appearance to have relative character, check the geometrical figure of an object with this, is not the graph resembling element that searchs a course to groom. Whether is the spare parts position that this is helpful for deciding robot hand is medium on same way, or whether is the spare parts enclothed by the part. Whether should this need 2 dimension or three-dimensional system with the domain? Go up to be located in X-Y plane (go up in conveyer belt for example or goods dish on) small-sized spare parts, using 2 dimension is gather into one is already enough perhaps. But to larger part or the spare parts that go up at X, Y and Z plane character, often need to use three-dimensional system. The software of system of this kind of video can check the actual geometry figure of a spare parts, is not the figure resembling element that examination course trims, does the design trend of all sorts of spare parts robots that this is helpful for differentiating size and directional change to differ begin to to what direction develop? Designs for mechanical automation robot, its structure is more and more exquisite, working rate is rapidder and rapidder, the function is more and more powerful. Because its design structural choiceness, because this is easier inside the workshop reorder perch; As a result of its working rate is accelerated, accordingly its productivity had very big rise; As a result of its working load function rises, accordingly its can be held better make larger part.
