AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the prior art, the adsorption gripper has poor compatibility and can only adapt to labels of a specific size. When the label size changes, the adsorption gripper needs to be replaced, which wastes production time and increases the cost of material preparation.

Method used

An adsorption gripper is designed with multiple adsorption areas and isolated cavity. Each cavity corresponds one by one to the adsorption area. The adsorption of labels of different sizes is achieved by controlling the vacuum degree. Combined with the visual detection module to identify the label and the position of the label to be labeled, the deviation correction detection module improves the label accuracy.

Benefits of technology

The compatibility of adsorption grippers for labels of multiple sizes is achieved, saving replacement costs and time, and improving labeling efficiency and accuracy.

Abstract

The present application applies to the technical field of automation. Provided is a labeling machine (100), comprising: a label supply mechanism (10), a positioning mechanism (20) and a robot (30). The robot (30) comprises a manipulator (31) and a suction gripper (32) arranged on the manipulator (31), wherein the suction gripper (32) is provided with a plurality of suction areas (32211), suction holes (32212) being formed in the suction areas (32211) of the suction gripper (32), and a plurality of mutually isolated cavities (32214) are provided inside the suction gripper (32), the cavities (32214) being arranged corresponding to the suction areas (32211) on a one-to-one basis; the manipulator (31) is configured to move the suction gripper (32) to the label supply mechanism (10), such that at least one suction area (32211) picks up a label by suction; and the manipulator (31) is further configured to move the suction gripper (32) to an object on the positioning mechanism (20) waiting to be labeled, such that the suction gripper (32) attaches the label to said object. Further provided in the present application is a labeling method. The labeling machine and the labeling method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be compatible with labels of different sizes, thereby reducing costs and improving efficiency.
