Visual Sensing System for Thin Plate Welding Based on Rotund Facular Laser

In order to solve the problem of thin plate butt-welded tracking, a welding vision sensing system with a rotund facular laser has been designed. In the vision sense system, each parameter of the interior part has been designed by a variety of experiments. The designed image processing software can precisely identify the position of the joint, based on the optimal designed vision sensor system. The thin plate butt welding experiments have been taken with the designed sensing device. The experimental results show that the vision sensor system with a suitable auxiliary illuminant can obtain satisfying visual image information in stainless thin plate butt-welded.
