The visual laser control system is a new type of CNC operating system that combines visual recognition technology with laser control technology. Compared with ordinary laser control systems, the visual laser control system has faster processing speed, higher processing accuracy, more flexible processing methods, and can be deployed in more complex and intelligent scenarios, which is also more in line with the upgrading and transformation path of the manufacturing industry.
There are various types of visual laser control systems, which can be divided into three categories according to different visual technologies: large visual laser control systems, small visual laser control systems, and precision laser control systems:
Large vision laser control system The visual laser control system that can capture the entire machine format using a digital SLR camera is called the large visual laser control system. The large vision laser control system can use two mainstream visual positioning methods, feature localization and Mark point localization, mainly used for processing large-sized materials, including fabrics, sheets, paper, acrylic, plastic fabrics, etc.
The main advantage of a large visual laser control system is that it can process large-sized materials and handle information such as wrinkles on the fabric that can easily cause visual errors. However, the visual system naturally has the characteristic of "the larger the range of view, the more blurry the details." Therefore, the accuracy of the large visual control system may be slightly inferior to the other two visual control systems.
Small visual control system The small visual laser control system, which can only capture a portion of the machine's format using a small industrial camera, is called the small visual laser control system. The small vision laser control system is mainly used for processing small-sized materials. The small vision laser control system can see a smaller range, display details more clearly, and have higher accuracy. Therefore, it is more suitable to use the small vision laser control system when processing small patterns and materials.
Precision laser control system Precision laser control systems are usually used for high-precision machining with an accuracy of less than 0.05mm. This type of high-precision machining requires higher requirements for the camera and control system. The camera must be able to capture clear images, and the algorithms in the control system also need to be precise enough. Therefore, precision excitation control systems are more difficult to debug and naturally more expensive than ordinary laser control systems.
