Abstract
The structured light method is effective for detecting a sectional view or range data for industrial applications. This article presents two three-dimensional vision systems developed at the Production Engineering Research Lab of Hitachi, Ltd., Japan. One system is for inspecting solder joints and the other was for automatic part assembly by robots. The inspection system can detect and correctly judge the shape of solder joints. The assembly robot vision system consists of a fixed 3-D detector and a small X-type slit detector attached on the robot hand. The former detects the overall range data of robot work-fields, and finds and detects the position and posture in 3-D space of a particular object. The latter detects the precise position and posture of an object.
