[0002] In modern manufacturing, the design and optimization of automated production lines are key factors in improving production efficiency, reducing costs and improving product quality. Especially in the process of processing complex parts, how to effectively identify and process various parts and how to accurately control processing equipment have become important challenges in improving production line performance.

[0003] In the prior art, many production lines have adopted automated equipment to improve operational efficiency and reduce the need for direct human involvement. These production lines usually include automatic loading systems, processing equipment, and unloading systems. Among them, the processing equipment often integrates a certain degree of automatic control functions to perform tasks such as cutting, grinding, or other mechanical processing.

[0036] The loading truss 3 is equipped with a 3D scanning device for identifying and locating components;

[0037] The chamfering machine 1 is equipped with an X-axis moving assembly 7, a Y-axis moving assembly 8 and a Z-axis lifting assembly 9, which are used to adjust the position of the tool to adapt to the processing requirements of different component shapes, contours and thicknesses;

[0040] Central control system for overall scheduling and monitoring of production processes.

[0041] The loading truss 3 further includes a 3D camera system equipped with depth sensing and image analysis functions. The 3D camera system is arranged at the loading entrance and is used to scan and identify the size, shape and positioning information of the parts entering the production line in real time to guide the precise operation of the intelligent spreader 6.

[0043] In one embodiment, the parts first enter the production line through the loading truss 3, which is equipped with a 3D camera system and located at the loading entrance. The system uses depth sensing and image analysis functions to scan and identify the size, shape and positioning information of the parts entering the production line in real time to guide the precise operation of the intelligent spreader 6. The parts are sent to the chamfering machine 1, which is equipped with an X-axis moving component 7, a Y-axis moving component 8 and a Z-axis lifting component 9.

The spiral chip conveyor is designed to effectively collect the debris and transport the debris outward through its spiral motion. Subsequently, the debris is transported to the plate chain chip conveyor 11 next to it, which further transports the debris to a centralized storage area away from the main working area.

This module is equipped with an advanced visual system that can identify the type and characteristics of each part, such as size, shape and degree of completion. Based on this information, the intelligent recognition module guides the unloading truss 5 to classify the parts and accurately place them in the predetermined storage area. This process not only speeds up the production process, but also reduces the error rate and improves overall production efficiency by reducing manual intervention.
