Car position measurement

car position measurement

Robots in the production can only complete their task accurately with a reliable detection of the car body position in the cell.

The ISRA VISION Car Position Measurement (CAPMES) System is the industry standard on the market: it is easy to set up and ensures reliable, precise 3D recognition of the body position and orientation in stop & go operation or line tracking in the cell based on a combination of multiple cameras directed at certain features of the car body (e.g. holes, edges, corners) from various directions.

The 3D position of the body detected by the system is used to provide the off-set data to guide robots accurately in a downstream processing step. As a result, car body tolerances and mechanical position deviations can be compensated perfectly and a wide range of car body types can be accommodated on a single line.

Benefits

  • Fast and precise measurement of car body position for accurate robot guidance
  • Full flexibility for handling multiple car types in single production line
  • Reduced cycle time compared to mechanical fitting systems
  • Reliable function even under harsh conditions with built-in redundancies
  • Maximum uptime with automatic failed measurement recovery of alternate feature allowance
  • Reliable feature detection with HDR image capturing
  • Automatic calibration check and recalibration
  • Easy-to-use software with graphical user interface
  • Stop & go operation or line tracking 
  • Compatible with all common robot types
  • Measuring time < 1 s with 4 cameras
  • Typical measuring accuracy of more than +/- 1 mm
  • Protection flaps for camera and lamps

Cosmetic sealing & tool inspection box

Different car models and complex parts geometries produced on the same line require precise robot guidance for high-quality application of beads. The accuracy of the robot applying the bead significantly increases the quality of the time-consuming sealing process for roofs, doors, hoods and flaps. 

The robot-mounted Q-GAGE3D sensor system determines the position and orientation of part contours for the application of fine and visible seams. The position deviations detected are used to accurately guide robots in the seam application. 

An additional gap check can be integrated prior to applicating the seam to further ensure the precise process. The Tool Inspection Box (TIB) automatically checks the nozzle for damage after each application to avoid scrap and damage to the car body. The result is consistent quality, especially for all relevant visible seams. 

Benefits

  • Reproduceable application of bead material within exact tolerances
  • Full flexibility for handling multiple car types in single production line
  • Highly precise application of beads significantly increases productivity and fulfills the high demands in function, quality, and aesthetic
  • Automated teaching process reduces onsite commissioning and the integration time for new parts
  • Reduced preventive maintenance requirements
  • High speed image processing on integrated FPGA
  • Path correction software with almost NO Teach-In and Re-Teach Effort
  • Sophisticated Time Synchronization between Robot and Sensor
  • Scan frequency up to 500Hz for robot speed of approx. 600mm/s possible
  • Measuring Principle​: Laser Line Triangulation​
  • Fast TCP/IP interface to send robot poses in interpolation cycle of robot (~10ms)
