[0049] Functions and requirements of high-speed finished product robot automatic label hanging equipment

[0050] Working mode requirements

[0051] Automatic mode - trigger the fully automatic program by pressing the "Start Hanging" button on the control software interface. In fully automatic mode, the robot automatic hanging sign system will perform actions in sequence according to the pre-designed program.

[0052] Manual mode - release the interlock with the on-site equipment and manually control the functional actions of each individual device.

[0053] Emergency Stop - Emergency stop is a safety mode to prevent danger or provide a safe response when the equipment fails or malfunctions. In the emergency stop state, the equipment movement is locked.

[0054] Workflow requirements

[0055] The high-line robot label hanging system needs to be suitable for hanging one product label on different packaging wire materials in the coils at both ends of the coil (two labels cannot be hung on the same packaging line). The equipment is installed downstream of the PF line weighing scale, and adopts interlocking control with the PF conveyor chain, and is organically connected with the production line equipment. According to the label information sent by the tenderer L2, it can realize automatic printing of labels, automatic hook making and delivery, automatic label delivery and flipping, robot hook removal, robot label threading, 3D visual image recognition to grab the packaging line coordinates, and intelligent guidance of the robot to hang labels.

[0056] A robotic system consists of two robots, assigned to two stations for tagging, located on the same side of the PF line. Each robot is capable of attaching a tag to each of the different wire packaging materials at each end of a coil. Normally, the two robots work simultaneously, tagging two coils simultaneously, attaching a tag to each of the different packaging materials at each end. The total tagging cycle for each coil (defined as the time from the current coil arriving at the tagging station to the next coil arriving at the tagging station) is ≤66 seconds, with an average single-roll tagging cycle time of ≤40 seconds (accounting for the possibility of two coils arriving at their respective tagging stations at different times, with a maximum processing capacity of approximately 85 coils per hour). Within this time, the system must complete the tagging process, return, and release the coil. Once the system completes tagging and releases the current coil, the next coil is immediately released to the corresponding station.

[0057] System functional requirements

[0058] Signage printing

[0059] The signboard shall be provided by the tenderer;

[0062] The fully automatic sign printing system automatically selects the corresponding blank sign for printing based on the content and quantity information sent by the tenderer's L2 system. After printing, the system verifies the printed sign for accuracy (content accuracy and print integrity), performs OCR on the barcode and QR code on the sign, and can identify abnormal signs for verification.

[0063] A single robot needs to be equipped with two PET printers.

[0064] The system needs to have remote alarm and prompt output functions for abnormal conditions, such as:

[0065] Abnormal sign alarm and corresponding processing

[0088] The wire coils of the wire production line are suspended on the C-hook of the PF line for transportation. The working position of the high-line intelligent robot hanging system is located downstream of the PF line weighing point. It is equipped with a C-hook stop mechanism and a hook number reading device. A waiting position is set about 2m upstream of the working position. The waiting position is equipped with a C-hook stop mechanism, which is used to stop the wire coil and read material data. The hook number reading device adopts the machine vision system 10, which is provided by the tenderer and the development interface.

[0089] When the C-hook arrives at the weighing station for weighing, the robot system can communicate data with the on-site L2 system, MES or ERP, and the data is transmitted to the robot system and a label is printed.

[0090] Hanging signs

[0091] After the wire coil stops and stabilizes at the tagging station, a fully automated printing and tagging system uses a motion device (robot or other) to retrieve the hooked tag and then hang it on the wire coil's baling line.

[0093] Safety protection

[0094] A safety fence (height ≥ 2m) should be set on the boundary of the movement range of the hanging sign movement equipment (robot or other) of the fully automatic printing and hanging sign system to prevent people from accidentally entering the equipment operation area; the safety fence should be equipped with an electronic safety door and grating safety detection, and be interlocked with the equipment.

[0188] Equipment installation layout

[0189] According to the on-site conditions, the working position of the high-speed line intelligent robot tagging system in this scheme is set at the downstream of the PF line weighing scale, and is equipped with a wire coil lifting and stabilizing device and a C-type hook stop mechanism; a front waiting position is set about 2m upstream of the working position, and is equipped with a C-type hook stop mechanism and a hook number reading device; one set of robot system includes two robots, which are divided into two workstations for tagging operations and are arranged on the same side of the PF line. (See attached Figure 1 : Installation plan of high-speed line hanging robot)

[0190] Brief workflow

[0191] Reading of front position information: When the C-hook arrives at the front waiting position, the robot system can communicate data with the on-site L2 system, MES or ERP, and the data is transmitted to the robot system in advance and the label is pre-printed; after the data is read, the robot system determines that the downstream work position has no wireless roll, opens the C-hook PF chain stop mechanism, and sends the C-hook downstream.

[0192] Pre-printed labels and OCR print quality inspection: According to the system scheduling, determine which robot will hang the label on the current roll. After the robot system that hangs the label on the current roll obtains the card playing data, it prints the label and performs print quality inspection by OCR.

[0193] Robot takes cards: The robot completes the insertion of 2 signs and moves to the waiting position.

[0194] Wire coil lifting and stabilizing: When the C-hook reaches the working position and stops, the lifting and stabilizing mechanism rises to stabilize the wire coil.

[0195] Angle determination of the baling line on the left side of the inner ring: The robot and the seventh-axis system move to the left-side hanging photo point, and the 3D camera takes a photo and determines the angle position of the baling line on the coil.

[0196] Hanging the sign on the left side of the inner circle: The 3D vision system 10 takes a picture and determines the location of the sign-hanging point, guiding the robot to complete the sign-hanging.

[0197] Angle determination of the baling line on the right side of the inner circle: The robot adjusts its posture to the right side of the hanging photo point, and the 3D camera takes a photo and determines the angle position of the baling line on the line coil.

[0198] Hanging the tag on the right side of the inner circle: The 3D vision system 10 takes a picture and determines the location of the tagging point, guides the robot to complete the tagging, and the robot and the seventh axis system withdraw the wire coil and move to a safe position.

[0199] Coil lift release: The lift stabilization mechanism descends, opening the C-hook PF chain parking mechanism and sending the C-hook downstream. Robot hook removal: The robot removes a set of two spring hooks and waits for the next coil data.
