Manufacturing systems can be improved by the amalgamation of the intelligent control systems along with vision and image processing systems. This paper describes the machining of a component using vision based 3-Axis Cartesian robot. The main objective is to detect the profile of the object from the input image and determine its dimension for machining on the work piece. A web camera is used to capture the image of the object, a morphological image processing algorithm is developed to extract the profile and dimensions and finally a microcontroller based system is designed for controlling the end milling operation in X, Y, Z directions. The prototype is successfully designed, developed, tested and validated in real time for high speed machining.
