AUTOMATIC WELD-SEAM TRACKING SYSTEM COMPRISING AN INTEGRATED VISION SENSOR CONTROLLER AND VISION SENSOR HEAD

摘要

PURPOSE: An automatic weld-seam tracking system is provided to prevent malfunctions caused by the disconnection of a cable and video noise.;CONSTITUTION: An automatic weld-seam tracking system comprises a vision sensor head(110), a vision sensor controller(130), a power supply unit(200), and a monitoring unit(300). The vision sensor head comprises a linear light source(113) which generates a laser beam to be irradiated to a weld seam and an image acquisition unit(115) which passes only the laser beam among the lights reflected off the weld seam and outputs an image signal about a measuring surface formed by the laser beam. The vision sensor controller is integrated with the vision sensor head in order to process the image signal obtained by the image acquisition unit. The power supply unit supplies power to the vision sensor head and the vision sensor controller. The monitoring unit displays video data transmitted from the vision sensor controller on a screen.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
