3D Vision-Guided Tire Assembly
Customer Demand
In the assembly process, various parts (e.g., tires, wheel caps, valve cores) are required to be properly positioned and recognized to ensure the correct assembly. Tire assembly was traditionally done by human operators, with high intensity but low efficiency. Therefore, automated assembly is implemented to increase efficiency and productivity.
Mech-Mind AI + 3D Vision Solution
The solution:
-
The Mech-Eye PRO S-GL captures precise 3D images and the 3D vision system accurately positions and recognizes the central position of parts (e.g., tires, wheel hubs) for the right tire installation.
-
The 3D vision system guides the robot to mount the tires on all the axles.
-
Advanced image stitching algorithms allow the coverage of large-sized tires.
-
Great resistance to the complex ambient light at the factory.
