Detailed Description

A vision positioning and automatic laser marking production line for sanitary ware products is a highly automated industrial system, specifically designed for precise laser marking on the surfaces of sanitary ware products. This production line integrates advanced vision positioning and laser marking technologies to achieve high-efficiency and high-precision marking operations, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the marking content.

1. System Components

• Vision Positioning System: Utilizing high-precision cameras and image processing software, it quickly locates and identifies sanitary ware products. The system can automatically detect the shape, position, and orientation of the products and transmit this information in real-time to the laser marking equipment.
• Laser Marking Equipment: Equipped with advanced fiber or CO₂ lasers, it can perform high-quality marking on various materials of sanitary ware products, such as ceramics and stainless steel. The marking content includes brand logos, product models, and production dates.
• Conveyor System: Featuring an automatic conveyor belt that sequentially transports sanitary ware products to the vision positioning and laser marking areas. The conveyor system can adjust its speed according to the product size and marking requirements.
• Control System: Using industrial computers and automation software to coordinate the entire production line. The system can monitor the production process in real-time, automatically adjust marking parameters, and record production data.

2. Workflow

1. Product Loading: Sanitary ware products are placed on the conveyor belt either by an automatic loading device or manually.
2. Vision Positioning: The products enter the vision positioning area, where cameras scan them to obtain their position and orientation information.
3. Laser Marking: Based on the data provided by the vision positioning system, the laser marking equipment performs precise marking on the products.
4. Product Unloading: After marking is completed, the products are transported to the unloading area for subsequent packaging or quality inspection.

3. Advantages

• High Precision: The vision positioning system ensures marking accuracy with an error range controlled within millimeters.
• High Efficiency: The automated production line enables continuous production, significantly increasing production efficiency.
• Flexibility: The system can be quickly adjusted according to different product sizes and marking requirements.
• Reliability: Laser marking technology is durable and resistant to wear, making it suitable for long-term use.

4. Application Scenarios

• Sanitary Ware Industry: Suitable for marking on products such as toilets, washbasins, and shower rooms.
• Hardware Products: Can be used for identification on hardware accessories such as faucets and showerheads.
• Home Furnishings: Suitable for surface marking on ceramic and stainless steel products.
