摘要:
In one aspect and one example of the present invention, a method for calibrating robotic picker mechanisms in automated storage library systems includes detecting a calibration mark with at least one sensor from a first position and a second position, where the first position and the second position are separated by an offset distance. Further, the method includes determining a shift in the calibration mark between the first position and the second position, and determining a distance between a reference position and the calibration mark based on the shift in the calibration mark, the offset distance, and the focal length of the sensor.
摘要:
A storage device detector system for use with a gripper assembly for handling storage devices in a storage library system is provided. In one example, the system includes a light source (340) for directing light to an expected position of a storage device, a sensor, e.g., a linear scanner (350), for detecting light, and a controller, wherein the controller and the sensor are adapted to detect the light directed to the expected position of the storage device and determine the presence of the storage device based on frequency components from the sensor. If the frequency is above a predetermined value the system may determine that a storage device is present and if below the predetermined value determine that a storage device is not present.
