Assembly Guided Place

Assembly guided place refers to a type of machine design in which a picking device such as robot picks up one part at a fixed position, and then adjusts its position based on vision system's feedback before or after moving it over to another part's side, and then assemble. The fixed position at pick station is established during train time. At the vision system's guidance, the part is placed on another part at the place-station correctly in such a fashion that the assembled part has the desired assembly characteristics.

• Step 1: Part B is randomly placed on platform; Part B's pose is then detected by the vision system.

  .

  

• Step 2: Part A is randomly placed on another platform; Part A’s pose is also detected by the vision system.

  

• Step 3: Gripper/Robot picks Part A blindly at fixed position.

  

• Step 4: Using the vision system's feedback from both Part A and Part B, the gripper performs adjustment in its position and then places Part A onto Part B.
