system for inserting pins into objects

Abstract

A system for placing a pin in at least one hole formed in an object, comprising: a movable base on which an object having a surface carrying the hole is placed; A pin inserted into a hole in the object; a first camera or vision subsystem mounted to capture a first image showing the floorplan of the designated hole in the object; a second camera or vision subsystem mounted with an optical assembly to capture a second image and a third image; a calculation unit configured to assign relative coordinates consisting of an X value and a Y value, to calculate the relative deviation between the pin fixed on the X axis and the Y axis and the specified hole, by calculating the offset of the hole on the X axis and the offset of the pin to calculate the relative offset on the X axis, and calculate the relative offset on the Y axis by calculating the offset of the hole and the offset of the pin on the Y axis, and before inserting the fixed pin into the hole, move the base The socket adjusts the object in a way that corrects or compensates for the calculated deviation.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 443,156, filed January 6, 2017, entitled "Method for Locating and Fastening a Pin on an Object and System Using the Same," the entirety of which The contents are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to an object placement system capable of placing or inserting an object on or into an object with greater accuracy. In particular, the disclosed system has multiple modules to determine potential discrepancies that exist between objects and objects, and then compensate or correct for the identified discrepancies prior to placing or inserting objects. Background technique [0004] In order to produce thinner and lighter electronic devices with higher computing power, such as mobile phones and laptops, more electronic components must be packed into a smaller space within the device chassis.

Problems solved by technology

However, there are other major challenges with using automated assembly systems

In particular, it can be very difficult to insert fastening pins into prepared holes or cavities on the part or chassis, since microscale deviations will be enough to cause damage to the product

Additionally, incomplete or partial insertion of these fastening pins may undesirably expose portions of the pins to surfaces, resulting in manufactured products deemed defective

However, none of the above references addresses potential problems associated with incorrectly inserted pins
