Design and Application of Rebar Automatic Counting Label-Welding System Based on Industrial Robots
An industrial robot-based rebar automatic counting label-welding system is intro-duced,which is mainly for the processes of manual label-welding and bundled branch number checking in the rebar production process.The paper proposes a method for replacing manual work with an operational method using an industrial robotic workstation.The method constructs machine vision technology as well as an industrial robot workstation,including industrial vision for the num-ber check of bundled rebar,and robot label-welding of tags,thus realizing automatic welding of fin-ished rebar tags.Application results show that the rebar automatic counting label-welding system has the functions of automatic label-welding,number review of rebar bundles,production tag identi-fication,etc.,the system is capable of replacing the manual label-welding work and guaranteeing the reliability and accuracy of the labeling information at the same time.
