Vision System Lets Robot "See" During Lights Out Operation
Published on Jul 18, 2013
Gosiger Automation combined an Okuma Multus B-300 CNC machining center, with a Fanuc M-20iA six-axis industrial robot, and a fixtureless conveyor system. Steel slugs to be machined sit on the incoming conveyor and the robot uses a vision system to locate and then pick up and load the parts into the machining center. At the end of the cycle, the robot arm removes the part and places it on the outgoing conveyor.
As the Okuma lathe machines a part, the Fanuc robot uses its IRVision system to locate and pick up the next raw blank from the inbound parts conveyor for processing. The lathe's end of cycle signal queues the robot to open the machine door, load a part blank in the lathe's sub-spindle, unload the finished part from the main spindle, close the machine door and initiate a machine cycle start command. For optimum efficiency the finished part is deposited on the outbound conveyor by the robot as the machine tool produces a new part, and the next raw blank is picked up and staged.
