Robot Vision Guidance for Shoe Sole Dispensing

I. Project Background

In the shoe manufacturing industry, shoe sole dispensing is a critical process. The quality of dispensing directly affects the waterproofness, sealing performance, structural strength and durability of shoes. Traditional shoe sole dispensing processes often rely on manual operation or simple mechanized equipment, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to guarantee precision. Especially when dealing with shoes of different styles and sizes, reprogramming through teaching is required, making the process cumbersome and error-prone.

With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, vision guidance technology has been increasingly applied in various production fields. Shenshi Intelligent Laser 3D Contour Measuring Instrument adopts advanced line laser scanning technology. By projecting laser beams onto the object surface and capturing the reflected light, it generates high-density 3D point cloud data to reconstruct the 3D shape of the object, providing accurate data support for shoe sole dispensing.

• Object Under Test: Shoe Sole

• Measurement Item: Dispensing Guidance

• Accuracy Requirement: 0.005 mm

III. Vision System Solution

Shenshi Intelligent Laser 3D Contour Measuring Instrument adopts line laser scanning to quickly and accurately measure the shoe sole surface and obtain its precise 3D contour data. After these data are processed by image processing algorithms, the system can accurately extract key position information of the shoe sole, such as its shape, size and key dispensing points.

Subsequently, this information is sent to the manipulator or dispensing robot. Based on the received 3D coordinate information, the robot can accurately locate each position on the shoe sole that requires gluing and perform precise dispensing operations.

The application of Shenshi Intelligent Laser 3D Contour Measuring Instrument in vision-guided shoe sole dispensing not only reduces errors caused by human factors but also greatly improves the precision and efficiency of the dispensing process. Meanwhile, thanks to the high flexibility and adaptability of the laser 3D contour measuring instrument, it can easily handle both complex curved surfaces of shoe soles and tiny details.

IV. Recommended Shenshi Intelligent Sensors

With the continuous advancement of vision technology and robotics technology and further cost reduction, the application of Shenshi Intelligent Laser 3D Contour Measuring Instrument in vision-guided shoe sole dispensing will become more extensive and in-depth. In the future, we will launch more innovative solutions and intelligent equipment to bring greater convenience and benefits to shoe manufacturing.
