付けることになる。Body B is conveyed continuously at a predetermined speed by conveyor 1, and pace 2 is placed on the side of the conveyor.
An industrial robot (hereinafter simply referred to as robot) 3 that runs on its own is installed. When the tracking sensor 4 is activated, the robot 3 follows the body B and travels in synchronization by monitoring the front end of the door D. During the synchronized travel, the robot 3 moves the windshield G supported by the hand 5 to the vehicle body opening 0. It will be assembled.

パネルF。Two cameras 9 and 10 as first visual sensors are arranged facing each other on the side of the conveyor. When H enters the field of view of the camera, an image of the lower edge of the 7-dringe panel F is captured into an image processing device (not shown) (see FIG. 6). And left and right hood ridge panel F.

でそれらの点の位置を順次検出する。As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the robot 3 is equipped with a camera 13 as a second visual sensor on a part of its hand 5.
and a shielding plate 14, and before assembling the windshield G, the camera 13 sequentially captures images of three points P1, e p, e PS on the end face of the front pillar Po and sequentially determines the positions of these points. To detect.

の余分なものが入らないよつに遮る機能をもっている。The positional information of the camera 13 for detecting these three points P* t Pt t Pst is stored in advance in the control system of the robot 3, but as described above, When there is a positional deviation and a positional deviation around the Y axis, the tiffi information of the camera 13 is corrected in response to a correction command from the camera 9.10. therefore,
The camera 13 always detects three points P 1s Px mPs t on the 70-plane camera P at the corrected position. In this case, the lotus shielding plate 14 has a function of blocking unnecessary objects on the inside of the vehicle from entering the field of view of the camera 13.

ロボット3の制御系に転送する。Once the positions of the three points p, s PS e Pa are determined, predetermined calculations are performed to determine the positional deviation in the vehicle width direction (X direction!) of the vehicle body opening O, which is the glass mounting surface. The amount of positional deviation (correction) around the Z axis is calculated.Furthermore, the correction amounts for the two directions and the Y axis are superimposed on the correction amounts for the X direction rotation and the two axis rotation. A final three-dimensional correction amount is calculated, and the correction amount is transferred to the control system of the robot 3.

い。The control system of the robot 3 corrects the pre-stored positional information regarding the glass attachment position according to the above correction amount, and changes the direction of the hand 6 to 1! After inverting the window glass G supported by the hand 6, the window glass G is assembled into the single opening 0. These series of operations are carried out between body B and robot 3.
It goes without saying that this is done during synchronized running with the vehicle.
