    摘要: An expanding locating and clamping pin assembly configured to locate and clamp a part includes a housing, a locating pin, an actuating mechanism, and a controller. The housing is configured with a plurality of radial jaw guides and a part rest face. The locating pin has a plurality of jaws radially movable in the radial jaw guides, extending past the part rest face, and configured with a part clamping feature. The actuating mechanism is connected to the housing and the jaws and is configured to synchronously move the jaws to a radial position and to apply the clamping force. The controller controls the radial position of the jaws and the clamping force. The part rest face and the jaws of the locating pin are configured to receive the part in a located position and to clamp the part in the located position via the clamping force.

    摘要: A machine vision system including a digital camera can be employed to inspect an object in a field of view, including capturing an original digital image including a multiplicity of pixels and associated light intensities for the field of view including the object. A bitmap image file is generated, and a mean value and a standard deviation of the light intensities of the multiplicity of pixels of the bitmap image file for the original digital image are dynamically determined. New image files are generated, each including a portion of the multiplicity of pixels having associated light intensities within a prescribed range of light intensities defined by the mean value and the standard deviation. Line segments are extracted from each of the new image files, and the extracted line segments from the new image files are merged and clustered to generate integral lines based thereon.
