Abstract
This paper describes a new visual sensor to be used for the path correction of arc-welding. By means of an optical pattern projection method using an LED scanning spot, the image patterns of various welding objects have been detected effectively by a two-dimensional photo sensitive position detector with the aid of a microprocessor. The sensing head could be compactly formed so as to be mounted to the robot hand.
The experimental results of this sensor show its sensing abilities to be satisfactory for practical use.
