Why do industrial robots use machine vision systems?

With the development and progress of science and technology, it is difficult to meet the needs of modern production in terms of flexible production capacity of robot products that simply use teaching and pre-programming to realize automatic work, and it is necessary to introduce robot products with machine vision functions. With the rapid expansion of the robot market and the rapid maturity of robot technology, the industrial robot industry has ushered in an unprecedented good development opportunity.

Under the original conditions, most of the handling robots on the production line are through teaching reproduction or pre-programming to achieve various operations, so that the initial pose and end posture of the object are strictly limited, and the robot knowledge completes the point-to-point task action, and for the handling of the object with external parameter changes, the processing capacity of this robot is a bit stretched. In this way, the production flexibility of the whole production line will become relatively poor, and it cannot meet the requirements of the flexible production system for material transportation and handling. In this case, in order to ensure the smooth and efficient completion of work tasks and improve work efficiency of the robot, it is necessary to introduce machine vision technology to realize the identification and positioning of target objects.

If industrial robots equipped with machine vision systems have been used in many fields. In many automated production lines, the last process is to put the products neatly on the other side, and then pack and form, and the product volume of many industries is large, the weight is also relatively large, if the manual stacking is adopted, not only a lot of manpower is required, and the production efficiency can not be improved, and at the same time, in this environment, the life safety of the porter can not be effectively guaranteed. In view of this, the load robot has become the first choice to solve the problem of enterprise palletizing, and machine vision, as the eye of the robot, is directly related to whether the robot can correctly grasp the product.

The application of machine vision system in the field of industrial robots has greatly improved product quality and speed, ensured personal safety to the greatest extent, and operated stably and reliably. Machine vision helps robot technology, which can be described as a strong combination, and will surely show its strength on the road of industrial automation and intelligent development.
