Abstract

Combining machine vision technology and vibratory feeder equipment, this paper designs a set of flexible vibratory feeding system based on smart camera. This system collects an image of the workpiece by the smart camera Vision MINI and then defines the correct main features of the workpiece such as posture, shape, and length with AutoVision software. These features are taken as standards to be compared with the corresponding features of the moving workpieces at the outlet of the vibratory feeder. Once the different features of a workpiece are identified, the system controller sends a signal to make the workpiece back into the bowl. If the workpiece is changed, it is only needed to change its feature definition in the software rather than change the mechanical structure of the vibratory feeder. Thus, it improves the flexibility of the vibratory feeding system and reduces the cost greatly. This study is significant to research an automatic manufacturing system which has ability to respond rapidly to changing demands in today’s complex markets.
