The invention relates to an AI-based
automatic control method and device for a thermal
forging ingot machining process, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a cross-section image and temperature information of a
forging ingot through a thermal imaging dual-light camera, transmitting the cross-section image and temperature information to an AI detection
server to obtain defect information, and executing defect treatment measures when defects are detected; and when no defect is detected, edge pixel coordinate data is obtained, the actual size deviation is calculated, error parts and types are determined, and
forging operation is executed after forging process parameters are obtained. The device comprises a
manipulator, a camera, an AI detection
server, an
application server, a
client front end and a forging press which are accessed to a service network through a switch. By means of the AI-based
automatic control method and device for the hot forging
ingot machining process, the problems that in hot forging ingot measurement operation, the labor condition is severe, the measurement time is long, the measurement result is poor, data is limited, the treatment cost of forging ingot defects is high, the forging and pressing treatment cost of forging ingots is high, and the feeding treatment cost of the forging ingots is high can be solved.
