Optimización en el reconocimiento de orientación de piezas para la estación de alimentación de la base perteneciente a la FMS200 mediante procesamiento de imágenes

Abstract

This research focuses on formulating an improvement proposal for the pieces’ orientation recognition from the flexible manufacturing cell FMS-200, located in the Laboratory of Industrial Technology and Production Engineering of the District University Francisco José de Caldas, Technological faculty. The paper is aimed at seeking improvements inside the productive processes, through the measuring and selection of a faster and more efficient recognition method. This was done with a general description for the first station of the cell, and with it, a timing study, which determines the process to be improved; also, it is implemented a pieces’ orientation recognition, through a Circular Hough Transform. Based on the image processing technique, thus obtaining a fast response time, so when this model is to be applied on a large scale, the operating time is reduced considerably.
