In automobile manufacturing, it is essential to inspect whether parts such as plugs, rivets, and screws are correctly placed on the car chassis and body as the car moves along the production line. Stefan Gehlen, managing director of VMT Bildverarbeitungssysteme, and his colleagues have developed a
The FrontEnd vision-guided robotic system developed by Neovision includes robot arm, FireWire cameras, LEDs, contact sensors, and laser line generators. By combining rough 3-D location data of an automotive frame with precision 3-D information from the vision system, FrontEnd can place a radiator
In the automotive industry, hemming presses have been replaced by roller technology where a flexible hemming head with two rollers is mounted to the end of a robot arm to join independently stamped inner panels such as hoods, decks, and fender reinforcements to the outer panels that make up a car's
3-D vision-guided robotic system combines with LED lighting, laser line generators, contact sensors, and PLC to precisely place front ends.
