  • Automated guidance system and method for a coordinated movement machine
    Patent number: 9990685
    Abstract: An automated guidance system for a coordinated movement machine includes a camera and a processor. The camera is mounted to a movable component of the coordinated movement machine. The processor is configured to visually recognize individual workpieces among a plurality of similarly shaped workpieces using a program running on the processor. The processor is further configured to determine x, y and z and Rx, Ry and Rz of the movable component with respect to each recognized workpiece among the plurality of recognized workpieces, and to move the movable component of the coordinated movement machine after determining x, y and z and Rx, Ry and Rz of the movable component.

  • System and method for aligning a coordinated movement machine reference frame with a measurement system reference frame
    Patent number: 9857786
    Abstract: A method for aligning a machine tool reference frame with a camera reference frame includes applying at least two linear machine movements and at least two rotational movements to a machine arm. Measurements are taken during these movements. Transforming the camera reference frame to the machine reference frame is based on an angular offset and x, y and z offsets between a machine tool origin and a camera origin based on the measurements taken during the machine movements.
