Using machine vision technology to locate valves can provide an accurate positioning basis for subsequent automated welding operations. First, it is necessary to install a suitable camera and lighting system to ensure that the valve image can be clearly captured. Then, the image processing algorithm is used to extract the key features of the valve, such as shape, size, and hole position, and determine its precise coordinate position in the image. With this positioning data, the optimal welding path and parameters can be planned, and integrated with welding equipment and robot systems to achieve fully automated valve welding operations. Through the application of machine vision technology, the efficiency and quality of valve welding can be greatly improved, providing intelligent solutions for the manufacturing industry.

Valve body center positioning detection

The valve body is a mechanical part, usually composed of a valve body and a valve core. In various fluid control systems, the main function of the valve body is to control the flow rate and flow direction of the medium, thereby achieving fluid control. Use machine vision to detect the valve so that subsequent welding can be accurately positioned.
