Workstation and Operating Method Therefore

A workstation, comprising:

• a source for first workpieces, each first workpiece having a region to be processed,
• a first robot equipped with a processing tool for processing the region to be processed of the first workpiece;
• a second robot equipped with a gripping tool for gripping a first workpiece from the source and placing it within an operating range of the first robot;
• a controller adapted to coordinate displacements of the first and second robots and to control processing by the first robot;
• wherein the workstation further comprises an imaging system, and in that the controller is further adapted to:
• a) identify reference points of the gripping tool and of the first workpiece in an image from the imaging system,
• b) calculate a displacement vector between coordinates of the reference points of the gripping tool and of the first workpiece,
• c) calculate, based on said displacement vector, a target position where the reference point of the gripping tool should be located in order to place the region to be processed of the first workpiece at a predetermined target location, or a target location where the region to be processed will be located when the reference point of the gripping tool is placed at a predetermined target position;
• d) place the reference point of the gripping tool at said target position,
• e) move the processing tool (8) to the target location for processing the region to be processed.
