  • VISION GUIDED REAL TIME LOCATING AND TRIMMING OF FLASH
    Publication number: 20100332016
    Abstract: A system and method for trimming flash from the body of a workpiece. The system uses a laser system and a vision system to determine quickly a cut line for removing flash from the workpiece.

The system and method are capable of dynamically trimming while determining where to cut the flash from the body of the workpiece.
