Quality control system of wooden flanges based on vision measurement system

The paper presents a design of a robotic product control system made for the wooden flange production line. The system has been designed for installation in automated production lines that allow the production of short product batches with a quick change of the type series of the manufactured products. The purpose of the work was to develop a flexible quality control system that would enable the development and adjustment of the product parameters control procedure to various product type series. The quality control station has been designed with an industrial robot and a set of 2D and 3D vision systems that take measurements of the set of parameters described for wooden flanges used in the production of cable drums. The paper presents the description of the parameters of the product subject to quality control and the premises adopted in the design process of the station. The image analysis method has been presented as developed for selected product parameters, in the scope of measurements on the image, along with the presentation of measurement results.
