[0026] The PPU mechanism, with axis 12 as the robotic arm structure, adopts a high-rigidity gantry structure. The X, Y, and Z axes are driven by servo motors in conjunction with precision ball screws, while the R-axis servo motor is directly mounted at the end of the Z-axis. The H5U PLC acts as the EtherCAT master station, connecting four Huichuan servo drives via network cables to form a real-time, synchronous motion control network.
[0027] Working Principle: The main support box 1 adopts a frame-type box structure, with the control system electrical box 3 and vision computer host 4 fixedly connected inside. The two are electrically connected to each other, providing control and vision processing capabilities for the entire system. A Y-axis rod 5 is horizontally fixed on the top surface of the main support box 1, and an X-axis rod 6 is horizontally stacked on top of it. The two are arranged in an L-shape near the edge of the top surface of the main support box 1, providing a coordinate framework for the movement of the robot. At the same time, a material picking tray 7 and a material discharging tray 8 are also horizontally fixed on the top surface of the main support box 1, and are arranged parallel between the X-axis rod 6 and the Y-axis rod 5, for placing materials to be processed and processed materials.

An operation keyboard structure is set on its side for convenient system control and parameter setting by the operator. During the operation of the equipment, the camera 10 acquires images of the materials in the picking tray 7 and transmits the acquired image information to the vision computer host 4 for processing. A deep learning-based visual algorithm model analyzes images and, through extensive sample training, adaptively identifies various defects in complex backgrounds. It accurately outputs the material's position (X, Y) and angle (R), i.e., the material's current angle (θ_m). This is connected to four Huichuan servo drive slave stations via network cables, forming a real-time, synchronous motion control network. The H5U PLC controls the PPU to move to the pickup point based on the material's position and angle information identified by the vision system. Simultaneously, it synchronously controls the R-axis to rotate to angle θ_m, ensuring the vacuum suction cup perfectly matches the material's angle before pickup, avoiding collisions or unstable pickup. After pickup, the Z-axis servo motor controls the end effector for precise lifting and lowering, achieving soft-contact gripping through current loop monitoring, followed by Z-axis elevation. During the PPU's idle movement to the placement point, the H5U PLC controls the R-axis servo motor to rotate, smoothly adjusting the material from the gripping angle θ_m to the target placement angle θ_p, fully utilizing the airborne movement time without additional pauses. Upon reaching the placement point, the Z-axis descends to place the material.
