SmartRunner Matcher Monitors Line Profiles<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thanh.halink.asia\/newskyvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MAC0008919_rgb_rdax_717x717_100-300x300.png\")
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nThe Application<\/h2>\n\n\nIn the\u00a0automotive industry<\/strong>, components are welded together in robotic welding cells during the production of car bodies. Prefabricated metal sheets are manually inserted into the\u00a0robot\u2019s gripper<\/strong>. However, sheets may be incomplete or faulty. If an incomplete or faulty metal sheet is used, the entire\u00a0car body\u00a0<\/strong>will have to be scrapped. Errors made during this production stage cannot be corrected. An inspection process must be\u00a0in place to check the\u00a0components\u00a0<\/strong>before they are used in this\u00a0production stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nThe Goal<\/h2>\n\n\nThe\u00a0automated inspection<\/strong>\u00a0must ensure that the sheet metal meets certain requirements, so certain contour characteristics must be\u00a0reliably detected<\/strong>. In order to maintain the fast pace of\u00a0robot-assisted production<\/strong>, this process should\u00a0not cause<\/strong>\u00a0any\u00a0delays<\/strong>. Errors must always be reliably detected, regardless of\u00a0the color of the component and any interference from extraneous light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nThe Solution<\/h2>\n\n\nThe\u00a0SmartRunner Matcher<\/strong>, with light section technology, is\u00a0mounted on the robot\u2019s gripper. The sensor immediately\u00a0detects\u00a0<\/strong>the\u00a0contour\u00a0<\/strong>of the inserted\u00a0metal sheet<\/strong>\u00a0and compares it with the reference line profile. The\u00a0reference profile\u00a0<\/strong>is saved to the sensors via\u00a0teach-in<\/strong>. If the sensor reports a fault, the work step is not carried out. The sensor can be connected\u00a0to the robot control system via its\u00a0digital input and output\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0connected to the PLC via SmartRunner gateway and fieldbuses such as\u00a0Profinet\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0EtherNet\/IP.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nThe Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\nUnlike typical vision systems, the SmartRunner Matcher does\u00a0not rely on object contrast. It also\u00a0detects low-contrast objects<\/strong>\u00a0based on the line profile,\u00a0ensuring\u00a0<\/strong>that components are\u00a0reliably inspected<\/strong>. This is particularly useful in the case of dark targets with dark backgrounds. The sensor is also largely unaffected by extraneous light. The\u00a0\u201cwizard\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0that is integrated into the\u00a0Vision Configurator software\u00a0<\/strong>makes configuration simple with intuitive user guidance. A variety of connection options allow the sensor to be\u00a0seamlessly integrated\u00a0<\/strong>into various control systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
