If there is a model in the initial stages of automated equipment development, it will be of great benefit to development of equipment design and model construction. If there is a verification platform before processing and production in the later stages of design, many unforeseen losses can be avoided. We have built two technical platforms for motion control and visual testing and produced more than 80 functional modules (covering technologies such as visual position grabbing, AOI detection, IoT communication, and robotic control) to meet the demands of our customers.

At present, the vast majority of platforms used by suppliers are essentially simple in nature and as a result cannot carry out complex and comprehensive experiments. They are also too small in size to verify our actual projects. In response to this, we decided to build a 2D and 3D comprehensive verification platform.

The mechanical components of 2D comprehensive verification platform are built with a 4-axis high precision module (+/- 0.001), allowing all 2D and sectional 2.5D projects to be tested on this platform. The many different standard modules can be combined and replaced at will, and the platform can be used for pre-assessment or design demonstration of multiple projects such as assembly, polishing, moving, pasting, motion grabbing, positioning and assembly, image recognition, and image inspection. In visual aspect, it is composed of 600W-2000W area and line array cameras, a 4-path light source controller and various other light sources, such as strip light, coaxial light and surface light. It can be utilized in visual software development, feature extraction, barcode scanning, AOI test and other projects. Its control section is comprised of a PC + PCBA and a PLC + touch screen and can form a variety of control plans. The communication between the different control components can form a control circuit or a control circuit can be constructed separately.

The 3D comprehensive verification platform's mechanical parts are built by 6-axis robots, and its vision capabilities are the same as the 2D platform except for added 3D camera. The 6-axis robot can move in any 3D space within the movable area. It has a high degree of integration and is very suited for use in building 3D platforms. The two platforms can use the same rack at the same time and can be docked together to create more complex experimental project.
