Using Partial Sensor Information to Orient Parts

Parts orienting, the process of bringing parts in initially unknown orientations to a goal orientation, is an important aspect of automated assembly. The most common industrial orienting systems are vibratory bowl feeders, which use the shape and mass properties of parts to orient them. Bowl feeders rely on a sequence of mechanical operations and typically do not use sensors. In this paper, we ...

Parts Orienting with Partial Sensor Information

Parts orienting, the process of bringing parts in initially unknown orientations to a goal orientation, is an important aspect of automated assembly. Bowl feeders used in industry rely on a sequence of mechanical operations, without using sensors, to orient parts. In our work, we use partial information sensors along with mechanical operations to eliminate uncertainty in part orientation. We sh...

A complete algorithm for designing passive fences to orient parts

Peshkin and Sanderson showed that parts can be aligned as they move on a conveyor belt against a pass ive sequence of fences In this paper we describe the rst complete algorithm to design such sequences for a given convex polygonal part The algorithm is com plete in the sense that it is guaranteed to nd a design if one exists and to terminate with a negative report oth erwise Based on an exact ...
