Abstract
A system for verifying quality of a part using an arm robot includes an arm robot, which includes a camera to acquire image data of a part assembled in each manufacturing process of a vehicle, a carrier, which includes a sliding rail allowing the arm robot to be movable around the vehicle along the sliding rail to acquire the image data, and a server which receives the image data acquired by the camera, compares the image data with modeling data of the vehicle, which is stored in a database, and determines whether the assembled part satisfies a preset inspection item, to verify quality of the assembled part, verifying the quality of the part in each process before the vehicle is completely manufactured.
Claims19
A system for verifying quality of a part using an arm robot, the system comprising:
- the arm robot, which includes a camera to acquire image data of the part assembled in each manufacturing process of a vehicle;
- a carrier including a sliding rail allowing the arm robot to be movable around the vehicle along the sliding rail to acquire the image data;
- and
- a server configured to receive the image data acquired by the camera, to compare the image data with modeling data of the vehicle, which is stored in a database (DB), and to determine whether the assembled part satisfies a preset inspection item, to verify the quality of the assembled part,
- wherein the carrier further includes a hidden area formed at a front lower portion and a rear lower portion of the carrier and provided as a storage space storing the arm robot for a predetermined time period.
A method for verifying quality of a part using an arm robot, the method comprising:
- photographing a part assembled in each process by use of a camera to acquire image data, after moving the arm robot coupled to the camera onto a sliding rail of a carrier,
- comparing, by a server having the image data received through a communication network, the image data with 3D modeling data of a vehicle, which is stored in a DB, to specify the part to be verified in quality;
- and
- verifying the quality of the assembled part by determining whether a preset inspection item is satisfied while comparing image data of the specified part with the 3D modeling data of the vehicles,
- wherein the carrier includes a sliding rail allowing the arm robot to be movable around the vehicle along the sliding rail to acquire the image data;
- and
- wherein the carrier further includes a hidden area formed at a front lower portion and a rear lower portion of the carrier and provided as a storage space storing the arm robot for a predetermined time period.
