[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In actual use, refer to Figure 2 The robotic arm (not shown in the diagram) places the glass to be tested onto marble 10-9. After placement, the robotic arm retracts from the device. Then, the side-push cylinder 10-2 and the front-push cylinder 10-7 act sequentially, using the side-push block 10-3 and the front-push block 10-8 to align and position the glass corner positioning block 11-11. Soft sponges are attached to the side-push block 10-3 and the front-push block 10-8 to protect the glass. Then, the module 15 drives the entire transverse measurement assembly to move onto marble 10-9. The measuring pressure cylinder 11-14 acts to press the measuring pressure block 11-13 firmly against the glass. To protect the glass from damage, soft sponges are attached to the lower surface of the pressure block. Then, the displacement detection sensor 11-12 moves its contact downward to begin measuring the glass thickness. The module then steps a certain distance and measures the glass thickness again in the same way. This process is repeated, and the acquired data is uploaded to the host computer. The error value of the glass per unit area can then be calculated. (See the measurement diagram for reference.) Figure 1 After the thickness measurement is completed, module 15 moves again to place the suction cup directly above the glass. The suction cup pressing cylinder 11-5 is activated, and the suction cup 11-6 adsorbs and transfers the glass onto the weighing panel 17-3. After the suction cup 11-6 is lifted, the weighing sensor 17-2 acquires the weight data of the glass. After the data stabilizes, it is output and uploaded to the host computer. At the same time, the vision camera 11-8 begins to take pictures of the glass to acquire data on its length, width, and surface defects. The data is uploaded to the host computer, which evaluates the acquired data and determines whether the glass is OK or NG. Then, the robot arm removes the glass and processes it according to the OK or NG signal.
