Contact Lens Automated Inspection
A next-generation smart workbench to showcase the latest production technologies has been developed by Industrial Vision Systems Ltd (IVS) (https://www.industrialvision.co.uk), a global supplier of inspection machines and industrial automation solutions, in collaboration with AMRC Cymru. The Smart Workbench combines a mixed reality headset, smart tooling, 3D and 2D machine vision, seven-axis robotics, intelligent projection, pick-to-light and automation into one complete demonstration cell. The bench is designed to showcase the combined use of these cutting-edge technologies in a cell which can be used for demonstrations, research and development at AMRC Cymru, which is part of the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult cluster of research centres. IVS combined the mixed reality environment with the various disparate tools and robotic assembly build, providing a step-by-step process control for an engineer to follow. With the mixed reality unit being an integral component, IVS has developed a template for an immersive inspection environment to assist users. AMRC Cymru will then use the data gathered from these processes to dig deeper into the potential applications of these tech combos in future manufacturing settings. The smart workbench also combines both 2D and 3D machine vision. By generating a point cloud of information, 3D machine vision enables the vision system to inspect and confirm positional off-sets with the robot, facilitating the automated inspection of complicated assemblies, subassemblies, and individual components. Together with a collaborative seven-axis robot arm, this enables the benchtop assembly of parts on the smart workbench. This is an essential area of research for future manufacturing settings since it can be paired with the pick-to-light system for full collaboration between humans and robots. The smart workbench also includes operator traceability and security with RFID (Radio-frequency identification) tags providing the ability for the bench to adjust according to the operator’s height and store data against the operator ID. This is linked to the factory information system at AMRC Cymru, and, ultimately to AMRC’s bespoke Factory+ demonstrating how data exchange to factory information systems, and clear human-machine interfaces, are critical elements for the factory of tomorrow. It is hoped the Smart Workbench can be utilised by all members and visitors of AMRC Cymru to research future ideas and concepts for manufacturing knowledge. Combining different production process elements in unique combinations, the smart workbench is seen as a modern tool for the future of manufacturing technology.
Augmented Reality Smart Workbench
By providing a ready-to-run vision-guided laser system with a micron precision servo gantry for automatic laser welding, IVS increased productivity, yield, and failure rates for a prestigious manufacturer of touch-screen displays. High-resolution telecentric inspection was combined with precision soldering via servo control to achieve part localisation. Vision guidance was achieved by re-positioning the fiducial off-set during the process to confirm the final location of each laser weld. The system was created to weld small screens all the way up to large format multi-touch units.
