Polishing Process Automation by Industrial Robots with Polished Surface Quality Judged Based on Imaging Processing

摘要

In polishing-process automation, research is focusing on having industrial robots replace skilled personnel. In judging whether polishing is sufficient, and robot polishing programs using CAD/CAM have been proposed. We propose that polished surface quality the judged based on image processing, with the robot polishing using a personal computer and signal communication.
