Precise cutting of pattern strips and pattern pieces from lace and similar patterned fabrics requires correct mutual positioning of the fabric and fabric cutter for precise alignment with the boundary of the pattern pre-existing on the fabric. Patterned fabrics and especially loosely-woven lace are liable to randomly variable stretching and slippage which makes it impossible to cut under the direction of an externally imposed pattern programme without regard to the instantaneous location of the pattern pre-existing on the fabric. The invention comprises lace-cutting apparatus (100) and a lace-cutting method including optical scanning (180) of the lace (118), recognition of the pattern boundary (126, 128), and mutual alignment of the fabric with the fabric cutter (132) to trace the intended cut line (130). Different techniques for mutual movement of the fabric and cutter are employed according to whether the pattern boundary is re-entrant or not. Preferred forms of fabric cutter include a hot-wire cutter (132) and a laser beam cutter. The invention enables automatic high-speed cutting and trimming of lace and similar patterned fabrics.

Bei einem Verfahren zum Vermessen einer sich etwa in einer Längsrichtung erstreckten Raumkontur mittels einer optischen Abtasteinrichtung, die die Koordinaten (X, Y, Z) von Abtastpunkten bestimmt, die wie die Raumkontur in der Oberfläche eines Formkörpers liegen, wird die Abtasteinrichtung linear und zumindest annähernd senkrecht bezüglich des Verlaufs der Raumkontur über diese hinweg bewegt und die Koordinaten einer Folge von Punkten bestimmt, die auch in den der Raumkontur benachbarten Flächen liegen. Als zugeordneter Raumpunkt wird der Schnittpunkt der beiden Flächen bestimmt, der zumindest annähernd parallel zur ersten Abtastebene die Raumkontur längs einer zweiten Abtastebene abtastet und den zugehörigen Raumpunkt bestimmt. Die längs der durch die beiden Raumpunkte festgelegte Richtung wird eine erneute Abtastung senkrecht zu dieser Richtung vorgenommen.

In a copy control device wherein a model (6) and a work are moved relatively with a tracer head (4) and a tool in an X - Y plane, measured distance values to the surface of the model, which are detected by first and second non-contact detectors (5a, 5b) obliquely mounted on the tracer head (4) rotatable about a Z axis are periodically sampled to obtain the coordinate values of measured points on the surface of the model, a normal vector (Nm) on the surface of the model is calculated from three coordinate values out of four measured points (P1n-1, P1n, P2n-1, P2n) successively obtained by the both detectors, and the tracer head is rotated so as to move along a projection (N1n) of the normal vector (Nn) on the X - Y plane, so that measuring axes of the detectors are controlled to be approximately vertical to the surface of the model. After two points are selected from four measured points, such a point is selected out of the remaining two measuring two points as a third point that satisfies a condition that a point of intersection between a perpendicular from such a point to a straight line passing through the previously selected two points and the above-mentioned straight line is interposed between the previously selected two points, and that satisfies a condition that the length of the above-mentioned perpendicular is larger than a predetermined value.

There is disclosed a method for the plasma arc welding of corrugate membranes, which can prevent a welding failure from occurring around the corrugate portion. In this welding method, NC data for robot control are modified so as to gradually change a torch angle around the R portions at a rate not greater than the maximum angular velocity and increase a welding speed around the R portions of foot regions of corrugate portions 1B and 2B and the R portion of an apex 22 before a welding torch 12 reaches the R portions. Three parameters are prepared for determining the deformation of the corrugate portions 1B and 2B in terms of height, width of the foot regions and the swell of the trunk portion. Data indicative of the height and foot width of the corrugate portion measured by a laser displacement sensor 15 are compared with standard corrugation NC data, and the NC data for robot control are modified to correct the height, foot width and swell degree thereof by utilizing the parameters.

A system (10) determines the surface (12) profile of an object (14). Systems of this kind are used in industrial robots, such as automatic welders. The severe operating environment requires a vision system (10) with noise immunity along with accuracy. A beam splitter enables the use of discrete optical detectors which eliminate many problems inherent with previously used detectors, such as diode arrays and TV cameras. Additionally, an automatic gain control (33) alters the intensity of a generated optical beam (18) in response to the reflectivity of the surface (12). These features increase the accuracy and noise immunity of an optical vision system (10) for use in severe industrial applications.

A figure 1 is taken by a camera having optical/electrical elements arrayed in matrix, signals of pixels of the picture taken by the camera 2 are converted into binary data in a binary circuit 11, and the binary data is temporarily stored in a binary data storage device 12. The reference point O is determined on the edge of the figure, and plural coaxial cycle scanning lines A, B about the reference point O which differs from each other in radius are set. In the arithmetic circuit 15, coordinate data of pixels on the circle scanning lies A, B is operated. In the detector 16, binary data of the pixels on the cycle scanning lines A, B is detected. In the decision circuit 17, the vectors of from the reference point O to the detected pixels on the cycle scanning lines A, B, and vector angle between the obtained vectors is operated. speed signal according to the vector angle is generated for driving the first and second drive 7, 8.

A non-contact copy control device for profile working on a work while following the contour of a model in non-contact therewith. Coordinate values of a plurality of points on the surface of the model are obtained from values measured by two non-contact distance detectors (1a, 1b) provided on a tracer head of a copying machine tool (3) at the times of a plurality of samplings. The non-contact copy control device (1) selects three points arranged in a shape closest to a regular triangle out of the aforesaid points. A normal vector is determined by use of coordinate values of said three vertices, and a command (SC) for rotating the tracer head (4) in a direction of projecting this normal vector onto an X-Y plane is issued. This command (SC) passes through a D/A converter (17c), is amplified in an amplifier (18c), and drives a motor (32c) to rotate the tracer head (4). Measuring axes of the non-contact distance detectors (5a,5b) are directed in a most possible perpendicular direction to the surface of the model, so that the distance measuring with high accuracy can be performed.
