  • a retractable pin 21 is located in a rotatable cylinder table 22.
  • a profile strip i.e. knife steel 23 is fed through a feed mechanism 24 and fixed jaws 25. It can be seen that the pin 21 acts against the strip 23 to create incremental bends about fulcrum points 26 after each feed stage from the mechanism 24 and accumulation of sequential bending operations about points 26 create a desired bend in the strip 23 and so a suitable profile.
  • the pin 21 As the pin 21 is retractable it can be moved either side of the strip 23 and thus bend the strip 23 in either direction.
  • the arc of rotation for the pin 21 is determined by the effect of jaws 25.
  • the two determining factors in a bent profile are the degree of feed through mechanism 24 and the bend angle created by pin 21. It is normal to vary feed length and adjust the bend angle as required. By varying feed length it will be appreciated that any chordal error can be kept to a constant predetermined tolerance.
  • the strip 23 As indicated previously if the strip 23 acted as an idea material and thus was not subjected to the normal mechanica variations present in most materials a simple combination o feed and bend steps would achieve the necessary profile However, the strip 23 is subject to a wide range of mechanica variations including work hardening, variation in Young' Modulus along its length and other factors. Thus, simpl sequential feed and bend steps do not achieve the necessar profile accuracy for a practical knife or similar device.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates in schematic form a profile detectio system necessary for the present invention and has the stri 23 illustrated in expanded form.
  • the strip 23 is locate above a non-reflective background 31.
  • a camera 32 wit appropriate lens 33 is located substantially perpendicular t the strip 23.
  • An illumination device such as a fluorescen lamp 34 is located to ensure the strip 23 is substantiall illuminated only from above.
  • the camera 32 is coupled to a appropriate frame grabber 35 which essentially reviews predetermined area of the image from the camera 32. Thus, th cutting edge of the strip 23 can be identified and plotted.
  • the frame grabber is coupled to a monitor 36 throug which the image from the camera 32 can be shown.
  • the fram grabber 35 is also coupled to image comparison apparatus 37 i which the actual strip 23 profile is compared with a desire profile. Both actual and desired profiles may be displayed o the monitor 36.
  • the camera 32 is normally a charge coupled device (CCD) based television camera and the lens 33 is typically a 50mm F 1.4 CCTV lens with a working distance of about 75cm to defin a digitised field of view about the strip 23 of about 9cm b 6cm.
  • the illumination source 34 is a 20cm diameter ring shaped fluorescent light fixed about 37cm above the objec plane. As indicated previously in order to minimise light reflection into the camera from the background and so emphasise the strip 23 profile the background is arranged to have little or no reflection. This can be achieved by use of black anti-static foam or possibly with fall away shoulders about the strip 23.
  • the camera should be arranged such that the image plane is closely parallel to the object plane in order to minimise distortion effects due to tilt but also to make it possible to put the camera back into a known orientation after adjustment of optical factors.
  • the profile 23 is digitised and gives a clear definition of the knife edge. However, as can be seen from the exploded cross- section in Fig. 2 the edge of the profile 23 is normally off- centre. The edge is clearly visible due to spectrally reflected light as a narrow peak superimposed on a background provided by the non-reflective surface 31. Furthermore light from the source striking the area immediately either side of the peak is darker than the background 31 as the chamfered surfaces of the profile 23 reflect light away from the camera 32.
  • the knife edge under typical conditions can be calculated to about .3 pixels wide. There is a broadening effect due to the lens and the camera sensor. However this broadening effect allows the position of the edge to be calculated to sub-pixel accuracy either by a mean or a most probable value distribution approach.
  • An algorithm can be used to calculate the mean position of the profile 23 incorporating an estimate for background which is subtracted from each pixel value in order to obtain true intensities.
  • an approach is not preferred as it is strongly dependent on signal and background levels and it requires a relatively large amount of calculation for real time adjustment of the profile 23 in formation of a practical configuration.
  • the more acceptable approach is to fit a parabola to the three largest pixel values in the peak and use the calculated position corresponding to the highest value of parabola to define the edge coordinates. It is necessary to calibrate the image data held in th frame grabber 35 to control the bending process to conver positions extracted from the digital image into real worl coordinates.
  • the next stage is to provide a consistent transformatio between digitised and object coordinates using these known ti points.
  • the technique used was to apply a geometri transformation comprising an aspect ratio correction and corrective rotation of the digitised grid lines to achiev best alignment with the horizontal and vertical axes of th camera 32 sensor.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates a typical plot o residual deviation between the optimum geometrically correcte digitised tie points and a perfect square array. These point were generated by determining the euclidian distance betwee each geometrically corrected tie point and the nearest poin from a square array of points in the digitised coordinat system for the grid. Using these points together with locally defined transformation it is possible to produce fast accurate and totally reliable transformation betwee imaged views of the strip 23 and stored descriptions o desired profile configurations.
  • the imaging apparatus in accordance with the presen invention is used to control profile bending.
  • This system i by its nature a closed loop arrangement involving measurin the current shape of the profile edge and comparing it with stored or required shape and by appropriate consideratio estimating a correction to improve the match.
  • th estimation to correct the current shape of the profile edge i done automatically.
  • the required profile is generated by a computer-aided design system and so it is necessary to convert this information into suitable format for comparison with the current profile shape as captured by the frame grabber in terms of pixels.
  • the strip feed calibration is a highly important element in ensuring that the profile definition system is accurate as the feed length just beyond the jaws 25 is part of the following knife segment after it is bent by an amount dependent on the magnitude and size of the bend angle. Furthermore the process causes the profile edge which is significantly offset from the neutral axis either to stretch or to contract depending on the size of the bend angle.
  • the strip feed calibration process is illustrated in Fig. 4.
  • the reference point (X ref, Y ref) is the point between the jaws of the bending apparatus and is where the profile breaks off.
  • a known length F of profile is fed through the jaws and bent through an angle .
  • a straight line is fitted to the measured data for the bent profile and its intersection with the line that passes through (X ref, Y ref) along the feed direction is determined.
  • the offset distance Y Q ff which is the amount of fed strip 23 that will contribute to the next segment can be determined.
  • the other distance Fd corresponds to the required length of the current segment.
  • a feed compensation factor defined as Fd-(F-Y 0 ff) is calculated and accounts for both geometrical and stretching factors in the formation of the bend. The feed compensatio factors and the offset distances measured over full ranges o positive and negative bend angles are necessary in general t calculate the amount of feed strip 23 needed to achieve particular length of segment. Yoff is also needed to compar the required profile shape with the desired shape.
  • Automatic tracking of the actual profile edge is achieve by analysing each row or column from the frame grabber an only that region within a narrow band centred around the know position of the corresponding part of the required knif shape.
  • This method does not require profile image data to b continuous and functions reliably even when the profile has corroded or contaminated edge. Since at least the profil nearest the jaws 25 is known the tracking method allows a ben correction to be applied even if the first attempt at a ben angle is wrong by a few degrees, subsequent image capture an tracking after the application of the first attempt bend angl correction enables more of the edge to be located from whic an accurate second attempt correction can be calculated an implemented.
  • Fig. 5 illustrates the approach taken to calculate ben angle correction from a given image.
  • the approach taken is t find the rotational angle which would best align the observe profile edge shape with the required shape.
  • For the it segment at a point P ⁇ roughly in the middle is first define and the rotation Oi about the pivot point B which is needed t take this point onto the corresponding segment of the require shape is calculated.
  • the angle Oi is weighted using a expression which takes into account the distance Pi to B th length of the segment and the inclination of the segment. weighted mean value based on all the tracked segments withi the field of view of the frame grabber is calculated and take to be the bend angle correction.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de définition de profil (23) destiné à un appareillage de cintrage de profil qui procède par formation d'images. On place un profil (23) semblable à ceux utilisés pour former des couteaux fraiseurs au-dessus d'une surface non réfléchissante (31) de façon à ce que la configuration du profil (23) puisse être mise en image au moyen d'un appareil photographique (32) fixé pratiquement au-dessus et l'on éclaire le profil (23) par le haut. L'image photograpique est saisie au moyen d'un dispositif de saisie d'image (35) afin que la configuration du profil (23) puisse être comparée par un organe de comparaison avec une forme de profil recherchée. Suivant les résultats de cette comparaison, on effectue des opérations d'alimentation et/ou de cintrage de lame afin d'accorder sensiblement le profil de lame réel (23) et le profil de lame souhaité.
