Abstract
Methods and systems for insertion mounting workpieces are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes acquiring a position of the second fitting part of the receiving component, moving the first fitting part of the workpiece towards the second fitting part of the receiving component until the workpiece is in contact with the receiving component, and rotating the workpiece while pressing the workpiece towards the receiving component. The implementation of the present disclosure may be applied for various types of workpieces and receiving components and may overcome minor deviations of positions between the workpiece and the receiving component during the insertion operation, thereby improving the efficiency of the insertion operation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- acquiring positions of a first fitting part of a workpiece and a second fitting part of a receiving component;
- moving the first fitting part toward the second fitting part;
- detecting that the workpiece is in contact with the receiving component;
- and
- rotating the workpiece while pressing the workpiece against the receiving component.
A system comprising:
- a robotic arm;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- acquire positions of a first fitting part of a workpiece and a second fitting part of a receiving component;
- control the robotic arm to move the first fitting part toward the second fitting part;
- detect that the workpiece is in contact with the receiving component;
- and
- control the robotic arm to rotate the workpiece while pressing the workpiece against the receiving component.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- acquire positions of a first fitting part of a workpiece and a second fitting part of a receiving component;
- control a robotic arm to move the first fitting part towards the second fitting part;
- detect that the workpiece is in contact with the receiving component;
- and
- control the robotic arm to rotate the workpiece while pressing the workpiece against the receiving component.
