Embodiment Construction

[0017] A technical problem related to the present disclosure is the need to calibrate robotic units in a fast and cheap manner, which does not require special knowledge.

[0018] A robot bending cell may consist of: a robot, which may or may not travel along a track; a press brake; an input station (such as an incoming pallet, a conveyor belt, etc.) Stations for grabbing sheets, such as sheet metal to be bent, and output stations (eg, eject pallets, conveyor belts, sacks, collection containers, etc.) where the robot places the processed sheets. During the bending process, the robot places the sheet to be bent on the lower beam of the press brake at a specified position and facing downwards for bending. Robotic bending cells usually include an orientation station that can be used to determine the exact position and orientation of the sheet in space when starting to process the sheet. However, in some configurations, there may be no facing station and the robot can grab the pan...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for calibrating an automaton unit. The said device comprises: a calibration block having a planar region comprising at least three marking elements located at three corners of at least one triangle, a processor for calibrating an automaton-based production environment comprising at least a first component is adapted to: receive a parameter of the calibration block; receiving a position of a calibration block reference point of the calibration block relative to a component reference point of a first component of an automaton-based production environment; receiving a set of positions of the at least three marking elements of the calibration block taken when the calibration block is located on the first component; and determining the position and orientation of the first component in a coordinate system of the automaton-based production environment based on the parameters, the position and the position set.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to robot-based production environments, and in particular to methods and apparatus for calibrating robot bending cells. Background technique [0002] Robotic bending cells may include: robots that may or may not travel along rails, press brakes, input stations (e.g., in-pallet , conveyor belt, etc.) from which the robot grabs the sheet, such as sheet metal to be bent, and the output station (e.g., out-pallet, conveyor belt, sack, collection container, etc.) , the output station is where the automatic machine places the processed boards. During the bending process, the robot places the sheet to be bent on the lower beam of the press brake in a specified position and orientation for bending. Robotic bending cells usually include an orientation station that can be used to determine the exact position and orientation of the sheet in space when starting to process the sheet. However, in some configurations, there ...
