摘要:
Manufacturing of a shoe or a portion of a shoe is enhanced by executing various shoe-manufacturing processes in an automated fashion. For example, information describing a shoe part may be determined, such as an identification, an orientation, a color, a surface topography, an alignment, a size, etc. Based on the information describing the shoe part, automated shoe-manufacturing apparatuses may be instructed to apply various shoe-manufacturing processes to the shoe part, such as a pickup and placement of the shoe part.

A conditionally visible bite line may be demarcated on a shoe upper using one of a fluorescent material and an Infrared (IR) material. Such a conditionally visible bite line may be observable only under particular conditions, such as when illuminated by an ultraviolet light source or an IR light source, as appropriate. A light may be projected to intersect the conditionally visible bite line under conditions rendering the conditionally visible bite line detectable. The intersection(s) of the projected light and the conditionally visible bite line may be used to create a virtual bite line for use in generating a tool path to process the surface of a shoe upper bounded by the conditionally visible bite line.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for collecting three-dimensional surface data of a lasted shoe upper (122) that is mated with a sole (124) that is configured for the lasted upper (122). The mated three- dimensional data is used with three-dimensional data of the lasted shoe upper (122) in an unmated configuration with the sole (124) to determine a location of an edge defined by the intersection of the lasted upper (122) and the sole (124) when mated. The bite line (406) identifies an edge where the upper (122) and a sole assembly will intersect on a finished shoe, which may represent a bounding line for application of adhesive to the lasted upper (122) for boding the sole (124) thereto.
摘要:
A tool path for treating a shoe upper may be generated to treat substantially only the surface of the shoe bounded by a bite line. The bite line may be defined to correspond to the junction of the shoe upper and a shoe bottom unit. Bite line data and three- dimensional profile data representing at least a portion of a surface of a shoe upper bounded by a bite line may be utilized in combination to generate a tool path for processing the surface of the upper, such as automated application of adhesive to the surface of a lasted upper bounded by a bite line.
