The invention provides a method and
system for finding the edge of a plate for a
laser cutting machine, and relates to the technical field of
laser cutting. The invention is divided into a camera calibration part and a plate edge finding part. Integrate the camera,
light source, and protective cover; correct the
distortion of the camera; install the vision kit at the appropriate position of the
laser head; automate calibration, after calibration, you can obtain the
coordinate difference between the laser head and the camera, the slight deviation angle caused by the camera installation process, Scale factor of real world to pixel world. Move the laser head to the mechanical origin position, take pictures, calculate the approximate coordinates of the corners of the sheet, and move the center of the camera
field of view to the coordinate position; take pictures, calculate the exact coordinates of the corners of the sheet and the inclination angle of the sheet, and move the laser head to the corner of the sheet Click directly above; walk the border to verify the edge-seeking accuracy, improve
cutting accuracy, and set it to the corresponding position of the laser head according to actual needs, taking up less space, flexible installation and disassembly, and protection in place.
