Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for cutting a groove that requires two-pass cutting (two cuttings) such as a Y groove.
- a Y groove having a root face on the abutting surface is generally used. That is, when two cut parts are joined by welding in a later process, the cut surfaces of both parts need to be Y-shaped as shown in FIG. 1A in order to ensure the required design strength. is there. This is called Y groove cutting.
- the product In the two-pass cutting, when the first cut by the I-cut is completed, the product is slightly displaced in the cut width and is cut off from the base material. This is because, when the product is separated from the base material, the product moves on the XY plane due to the unevenness of the base (surface plate) on the bottom surface of the product (made by the accumulation of metal dross of cut pieces) and the falling due to its own weight. Because it does.
- the error of the root face will increase and the necessary accuracy of the root face will be obtained even if the second pass cutting by the V-cut is performed exactly as programmed. I can't.
- the error of the root face that becomes the abutting surface at the time of welding lowers the weld joint strength of the welded structure, so that the positional deviation at the end of cutting of the first pass is minimized or the end of cutting of the first pass It is necessary to cut the second pass by correcting the positional deviation.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a cutting locus in the case of cutting a rectangular part (product) from the upper surface in the XY plane.
- S1 Pierce point of pass 1 (cutting start point)
- E1 Cut end point of pass 1
- S2 Pierce point of pass 2 (cut start point)
- E2 Cutting end point of pass 2
- S3 Piercing point of cutting for product separation (cutting start point)
- E3 Cutting end point for product separation.
- Non-Patent Document 1 a CCD camera is attached above the plasma torch of the plasma cutting machine, and after one pass cutting, two product end points are imaged by the CCD camera, the imaging screen is binarized, and the image processing method The end point is extracted from the image, the end point position when no position shift occurs is compared with the actual end point position after the position shift, and the product position shift amount is obtained by calculation.
- An invention is described in which the above program is corrected according to the amount of positional deviation and the second-pass cutting is executed according to the corrected program.
- the first pass and the second pass are accompanied by a condition that the product is not separated from the base material, the shape of the product is greatly restricted. That is, the Y groove cannot be formed on the last side that reaches the cutting end point for product separation. Further, since it is necessary to finally perform cutting for product separation even after finishing the second pass cutting, the number of times of piercing is increased and the life of the cutting torch is shortened. Further, since the product cannot be separated by a single cutting, it takes time to move the cutting torch, resulting in a problem that productivity is lowered. Furthermore, since it is necessary to perform V-cut after I-cut and finally perform I-cut again to separate the product, the cutting procedure becomes complicated and the CAD operation also becomes complicated.
- the above-described conventional technique 2 When the above-described conventional technique 2 is used, the above-described problems occurring in the conventional technique 1 are almost solved, but the problem that the shape of the product is restricted still remains. That is, in the prior art 2, since it is necessary to image two end points (corner portions) with a CCD camera, it can be applied only when a product having at least two end points is cut. In addition, since the imaging screen of the CCD camera is binarized and the end points are extracted from the image by an image processing method, the extraction accuracy greatly depends on the optical environment of the factory where the cutting operation is performed. Depending on the optical environment of the factory, when the captured image is binarized, the end point image in the image cannot be determined from the background image, and the end point may be erroneously detected or may not be detected. For this reason, there is a possibility that the misalignment correction may not be performed accurately or the misalignment correction itself may be impossible.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and when performing the second pass cutting by correcting the positional deviation at the end of the first pass cutting, the shape of the product is not restricted and the position is not limited.

Therefore, corresponding to this, as shown in FIG. 9C, there is a large difference in luminance between the product and scrap part on the image and the cut groove part.
- the light cutting points P2, P3, P5, and P6 are points on each side that sandwich the corner portion.

- the length per pixel is determined by the angle of view and the pixel length of the CCD sensor.
- the luminance of each pixel is sequentially searched from the center points P1 and P4 of the image along the horizontal direction (X) and the vertical direction (Y), and the cumulative number of pixels up to the pixel position where the luminance changes suddenly is measured.
- This cumulative number of pixels corresponds to the relative distance from the center points P1, P4 of the image to the feature points (light cutting points) P2, P3, P5, P6.
- the relative distance on the image coordinates is converted into NC machine coordinate data, and the X and Y coordinate positions of the feature points P2, P3, P5, and P6 on the NC machine coordinates are obtained.

- the difference Pa-Pb between the light cutting point Pa on the product side and the light cutting point Pb on the scrap side is the kerf width. Therefore, the actual cutting groove center is shifted from the light cutting points Pa and Pb by the half value of the kerf width. If this is seen in FIG. 11A, the value obtained by shifting the nozzle radius with respect to the position of the detected light cutting point Pa (or Pb) on the NC coordinate axis is the NC coordinate position on the actual control program. It shows that it becomes data.

- the measurement error ⁇ of the rotation angle ⁇ of the XY coordinate axis is obtained by the following equation (6), and if the measurement error ⁇ is equal to or greater than a specified value, the same measurement is performed again by changing the irradiation position of the laser beam L It is desirable to do.
- the height Z of the base material R is measured by the height measuring means 25 before the end of the second pass.

図7、図8は、母材Rの3次元の位置ずれがルートフェイスの誤差に及ぼす影響を示している。 (Effect of 3D displacement on route face error)
7 and 8 show the influence of the three-dimensional displacement of the base material R on the root face error.
2パス切断では、Iカットによる1パス目の切断終了時点で、」切り幅の中で製品の微小な位置ずれが生じて母材Rから切り離される。これは、製品が母材Rから切り離されると、製品の下面の定盤(架台)2上における切断破片の金属ドロスが堆積して出来る凹凸と自重による落下とによって、製品がX-Y平面上で移動するからである。X-Y平面上の製品の移動は、X-Y直交座標系では、座標位置X、Yのシフト量Δx、ΔyとX-Y座標軸の回転角Θで表すことができる。これらを求めるためには、1パス切断終了時点におけるコーナ部を挟む各辺を示す各直線がわかればよい。これら各直線は、製品のコーナ部を挟む各辺それぞれにおける少なくとも異なる2点が求められれば、得られる。よって本発明では、各辺上の2点を、CCDカメラなどの撮像手段24で捕らえるようにしている。 (Detection of misalignment in a two-dimensional plane)
In the two-pass cutting, at the end of cutting of the first pass by the I-cut, the product is separated from the base material R due to a slight positional deviation of the product within the cutting width. This is because when the product is separated from the base material R, the product is placed on the XY plane due to unevenness caused by the accumulation of metal dross of cut pieces on the surface plate (base) 2 on the lower surface of the product and dropping due to its own weight. It is because it moves with. The movement of the product on the XY plane can be expressed by the shift amounts Δx and Δy of the coordinate positions X and Y and the rotation angle Θ of the XY coordinate axis in the XY orthogonal coordinate system. In order to obtain these, it is only necessary to know each straight line indicating each side sandwiching the corner portion at the end of one-pass cutting. These straight lines are obtained if at least two different points on each side sandwiching the corner portion of the product are obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, two points on each side are captured by the imaging means 24 such as a CCD camera.
画像処理を行い画像上の特徴点を抽出する手法自体は、従来技術2として示すように広く知られている。しかし、前述したように、製品形状が制約されたり抽出精度が低いなどの問題点がある。そこで、本発明では、光切断法を用いて、上述した製品のコーナ部を挟む各辺それぞれにおける少なくとも異なる2点を画像上の特徴点として形成するようにしている。 (Extraction of feature points by light cutting method)
A technique itself for performing image processing and extracting feature points on an image is widely known as shown in the
図10は撮像画像と十字状レーザ光Lの関係を示している。 (Detection of feature points by image processing)
FIG. 10 shows the relationship between the captured image and the cross-shaped laser beam L.
レーザ光Lの輝度は、均一でないため、切断点近傍の強度が低い場合または切断点以外で輝度が低い場合は、切断点の検出に誤差が生じる可能性がある。この検出誤差を回避するにはレーザ光のパワーを、安全規制値の上限の範囲内(クラス3)で上げればよい。レーザ光のパワーを上げずに検出誤差を回避するには、切断線のNC機械座標データから切断点位置の近傍を予測して切断点位置の真値を絞り込むことが望ましい。また赤色レーザを使用する場合には、R、G、Bの輝度ではRが高いのでR輝度で切断点を判断することが望ましい。また1画素ではなく数画素の輝度の平均値から切断点を判断することが望ましい。 (About brightness correction)
Since the luminance of the laser beam L is not uniform, there is a possibility that an error may occur in detection of the cutting point when the intensity near the cutting point is low or when the luminance is low at other than the cutting point. In order to avoid this detection error, the power of the laser beam may be increased within the upper limit (class 3) of the safety regulation value. In order to avoid detection errors without increasing the power of the laser beam, it is desirable to predict the vicinity of the cutting point position from the NC machine coordinate data of the cutting line and narrow down the true value of the cutting point position. When a red laser is used, it is desirable to determine the cutting point based on the R luminance because R is high in the luminance of R, G, and B. It is desirable to determine the cut point from the average value of the luminance of several pixels instead of one pixel.
図11(a)は、切断用トーチ8に設けられたノズル8aから噴出されるプラズマ生成用ガスにより、所定のカーフ幅で母材Rが切断される様子を示す。図11(b)は、画像上で検出される光切断点Pa、Pbとカーフ幅との関係を示す。 (About calf correction)
FIG. 11A shows a state in which the base material R is cut with a predetermined kerf width by the plasma generating gas ejected from the
Δx=Xc-Xnc-kfx
Δy=Yc-Ync-kfy …(1)
となる。 However, the difference amounts Δx (= Xc−Xnc) and Δy (= Yc−Ync) include an error corresponding to half the kerf width as shown in FIG. Further, the kerf width differs depending on the influence of the plasma flow between the I cutting and the groove cutting, and thus correction is necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain correction amounts kfx, kfy by taking these into account, and to correct by subtracting the correction amounts kfx, kfy from the difference amounts Δx (= Xc−Xnc), Δy (= Yc−Ync). That is, the corrected difference amount is
Δx = Xc−Xnc−kfx
Δy = Yc−Ync−kfy (1)
It becomes.
1パス切断終了時点におけるコーナ部(端点)Pcの位置は、このコーナ部を挟む各辺を示す2直線上の交点の位置として求めることができる(図7(b))。 (Corner position deviation (shift amount) Δx, Δy and how to determine the rotation angle Θ of the XY coordinate axis)
The position of the corner (end point) Pc at the end of the 1-pass cutting can be obtained as the position of the intersection on two straight lines indicating each side sandwiching the corner (FIG. 7B).
y=a2・X+b2(図7(b)の図中、1パス切断終了時点の略垂直方向の辺を示す直線)
ただし、
a1=(Y2-Y5)/(X2-X5)
b1=(Y2-a1・X2)
a2=(Y3-Y6)/(X3-X6)
b2=(Y3-a2・X3) …(2)
1パス切断終了時点におけるコーナ部(端点)Pc(Xc、Yc)は、上記式に示される2直線の交点として下記のごとくして、求められる。 y = a1 · X + b1 (in the drawing of FIG. 7B, a straight line indicating a substantially horizontal side at the end of one-pass cutting)
y = a 2 · X + b 2 (in the drawing of FIG. 7B, a straight line indicating a substantially vertical side at the end of one-pass cutting)
However,
a1 = (Y2-Y5) / (X2-X5)
b1 = (Y2−a1 ・ X2)
a2 = (Y3-Y6) / (X3-X6)
b2 = (Y3-a2 / X3) (2)
The corner portion (end point) Pc (Xc, Yc) at the end of the 1-pass cutting is obtained as the intersection of the two straight lines shown in the above equation as follows.
Yc=a1・Xc+b1 …(3)
よって、上記(1)式に上記(3)式を代入することで、コーナ部位置ずれ(シフト量)Δx、Δyが求められる。 Xc =-(b1-b2) / (a1-a2)
Yc = a1, Xc + b1 (3)
Therefore, by substituting the above equation (3) into the above equation (1), corner portion position shifts (shift amounts) Δx and Δy can be obtained.
y=a4・X+b4(図7(a)の図中、1パス切断前の垂直方向の辺を示す直線)
…(4)
よって、上記(2)、(4)式より、1パス切断前と1パス切断終了時点の対応する直線の傾きの差分を求めることにより、下記のごとくして、X-Y座標軸の回転角Θが得られる。 y = a3 · X + b3 (a straight line indicating a horizontal side before cutting one pass in the drawing of FIG. 7A)
y = a4 · X + b4 (in the drawing of FIG. 7A, a straight line indicating a vertical side before cutting one pass)
(4)
Therefore, by calculating the difference between the slopes of the corresponding straight lines before and after the end of 1-pass cutting from the above equations (2) and (4), the rotation angle Θ of the XY coordinate axes is obtained as follows. Is obtained.
なお、X-Y座標軸の回転角Θの測定誤差Δθを下記(6)式のごとくして求め、測定誤差Δθが規定値以上であれば、レーザ光Lの照射位置を変えて再度同様の計測を行うようにすることが望ましい。 Θ = a1-a3 (or a2-a4) (5)
It should be noted that the measurement error Δθ of the rotation angle Θ of the XY coordinate axis is obtained by the following equation (6), and if the measurement error Δθ is equal to or greater than a specified value, the same measurement is performed again by changing the irradiation position of the laser beam L It is desirable to do.
…(6)
(2パス目のNC座標位置の補正について)
上記(1)、(5)式のごとくコーナ部位置ずれΔx、ΔyとX-Y座標軸の回転角Θが得られると、これらコーナ部位置ずれΔx、ΔyとX-Y座標軸の回転角Θ分の座標変換を、2パス目の制御プログラム上の切断線を示す全てのX、Y座標位置データに対して行い、2パス目の制御プログラム上の切断線を示すX、Y座標位置データを補正する。 Δθ = atan (a1−a2) / (1 + a1 · a2) −atan (a3−a4) / (1 + a3 · a4)
(6)
(Correction of NC coordinate position in the 2nd pass)
When the corner position deviations Δx, Δy and the rotation angle Θ of the XY coordinate axis are obtained as in the above expressions (1) and (5), the corner position deviations Δx, Δy and the rotation angle Θ of the XY coordinate axis are obtained. Is performed on all the X and Y coordinate position data indicating the cutting line on the control program for the second pass, and the X and Y coordinate position data indicating the cutting line on the control program for the second pass is corrected. To do.
高さ測定手段25は、上述したようにレーザ測距器が用いられる。これは母材Rの表面の影響、つまりオイル、スパッタ液などによる誤反射の影響が少ないからである。 (Height measurement)
As the height measuring means 25, a laser range finder is used as described above. This is because the influence of the surface of the base material R, that is, the influence of erroneous reflection due to oil, sputtering liquid, etc. is small.
