Automatic cutting machine that reads location information using a camera

Inspection

Let AI learn multiple types of connectors.
Read position information from the video of the model trained with each AI.
(The target to be cut must be shown on the camera image.)
After reading the object to be cut with the camera, the position information of the object to be cut is sent to the cutting machine.
The cutting machine moves based on the position information and executes the cutting.
After cutting, the camera saves the cut object as video data again.

Hardware

A desktop computer with a graphics board capable of deep learning

6.0MP GigE Camera

25mm Fixed Focus Lens

Software

AI-Detector

AI-Detector can detect the shape and location information of an object by making it memorize the object.
This time, we will photograph the object to be cut, read the object’s position information (X-axis, Y-axis), and send a signal.
After cutting, a signal is returned from the cutting machine again, and this timing is used as a trigger to save a still image.

Reason for using a camera for positioning

Positioning is generally done using a jig, but it is difficult to use a jig to handle a wide variety of products.
If you use a camera, you can understand the location information by reading the image, so by sending the location information to the cutting machine, you can ensure that the cutting is done according to the cutting location.
