Design and Development of a High Speed Sorting System Based on Machine Vision Guiding

摘要

In this paper, a vision-based control strategy to perform high speed pick-and-place tasks on automation product line is proposed, and relevant control software is develop. Using Delta robot to control a sucker to grasp disordered objects from one moving conveyer and then place them on the other in order. CCD camera gets one picture every time the conveyer moves a distance of ds. Objects position and shape are got after image processing. Target tracking method based on "Servo motor + synchronous conveyer" is used to fulfill the high speed porting operation real time. Experiments conducted on Delta robot sorting system demonstrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed vision–control strategy.
