In this embodiment, the vision module may be a 3D vision module, for example, a 3D vision camera, and uses 3D imaging technologies such as structured light, binocular vision, or TOF (time of flight) to take a photograph of the axle product and the placement tool. For example, a structured light 3D camera shoots a deformed grating pattern from a specific angle by projecting a set of known grating patterns onto an axle and a placement tool, and calculates three-dimensional coordinate information of the axle and the placement tool according to deformation conditions of the pattern by using a triangulation principle, thereby accurately acquiring the position and the posture of an axle product and the spatial position of the placement tool. The 3D vision system transmits the obtained three-dimensional information of the axle and the placement tool to the robot control system.
