Chapter 1: Calibration and Debugging

Wide-View Camera Calibration

Step - 1

1. Double-click to open the RuBen main software program.

2. Connect the camera device.

3. In the coordinate system settings, select the Left Camera Coordinate System.

Step - 2

1. Double-click to open the intelligent special machine program;

2. In the panorama parameters, fill in the camera name according to the camera serial number found by the body software;

3. After completing the input, click OK.

Step - 3

1. Place the calibration hexahedron directly below the camera (note that the calibration component must be placed within the working range of the main control robot, and a flat plate larger than the hexahedron must be placed underneath it), then connect the global camera to capture the image.

2. After image acquisition, crop the point cloud range, trimming it to remove any cluttered point clouds from other parts of the scene, leaving only the point clouds within the hexahedron and the flat plate area.

Step - 4

1. Click “Start Online” to connect to the main control robot.

2. Click the hexahedron calculation button under the acquisition and calculation list. If the calculated yellow marker line fits the hexahedron contour in a counterclockwise direction, it indicates that the hexahedron calculation is normal.

Step - 5

It should be noted that the inner circle of the yellow marking line starts from the origin.X+and Y+The direction point is a fixed direction relative to the origin, as shown in the figure below (note that the right side view is clickedBottom

Step - 6

1. Use the master robot to open the user coordinate system page.

2. choose wobj5 and Enter the calibration page (note that you need to use tool and wobj1 to  Perform user calibration)

Step - 7

1. Align the tip of the welding gun to the origin of the hexahedron calculation and click the teach button.

2. After the first point teaching is completed, align the welding gun tip with the hexahedron calculationX+After that, click the teach button (pay attention to the setting of the calibration direction)

Step - 8

1. After the second point teaching is completed, align the welding gun tip with the hexahedron calculation Y+ After that, click the Teach button.

2. After the three points are taught, click the Calculate and Save buttons in sequence to complete the user calibration.

Step - 9

1. After the user completes the calibration, return to the special machine software and click the “Online” button, then switch the teach pendant user to wobj5.

2. Click the “Calibrate Global Camera” button under the global menu. When prompted whether PCS has been switched to the calibrated PCS, if the position control on the left shows PCS5, click Yes.

3. After the calibration completion popup appears, the global camera calibration is complete.

Intelligent robot workstations, intelligent work islands, providing the entire process (cutting, assembly, welding, grinding, inspection, etc.) of intelligent applications for the non-standard metal structure manufacturing industry.

The biggest characteristic of the machinery industry is the wide variety of products and custom parts. This requires true flexible production, because every factory welds different products, and one product may be very different from another.

Traditional robot welding can be difficult to promote in this industry because welding paths usually cannot be reused, and there are often many different products to handle. For many manufacturers, programming and teaching are required for the whole process, which greatly increases the barrier to using robots.

Our solution is a robot smart welding factory based on 3D vision and an intelligent welding system. The vision system takes photos and scans the workpiece, generates a real-time point cloud model, and the intelligent system automatically extracts the weld path from the data. The operator only needs to place the workpiece in front of the robot and click start.

The system can recognize the component, generate the welding path, and complete the welding operation without importing a 3D model or performing complex teaching operations. It greatly lowers the barrier to using robotic welding and makes automation easier for factories producing many different kinds of workpieces.

This is especially suitable for high-mix, low-volume production, non-standard parts, and manufacturers that need flexible welding automation.
