3D vision technology helps upgrade the automation of dismantling automotive lead-acid batteries

In the automotive manufacturing and related supporting industry chain, lead-acid batteries are one of the key components, and their production and processing have extremely high requirements for efficiency and accuracy. Traditional unpacking of lead-acid batteries often relies on manual operation, which not only has low efficiency but also poses safety hazards.



Project Background

A large battery enterprise has introduced FUWEI Intelligent's 3D vision guided robot in the key link of acid injection operation for its automotive lead-acid batteries, which not only significantly improves the automation level of the lead-acid battery production process, but also ensures production safety and greatly improves production efficiency. FUWEI Intelligent's 3D vision guided robot technology, with its precise and efficient characteristics, provides strong technical support for the safe and efficient production of lead-acid batteries, promoting the transformation and upgrading of the enterprise towards intelligent manufacturing.


Customer pain points:

The customer pain points during the unpacking process of lead-acid batteries are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Lead acid batteries have a heavy weight, usually reaching 15-30kg. Manual unpacking not only requires high labor intensity, but also has low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demand for large-scale production orders.


2、Lead acid batteries contain harmful substances such as lead and sulfuric acid, and long-term manual unpacking operations pose a threat to the health of operators and pose health risks.


3. The downstream process requires injecting acid solution into the battery casing, which has a high risk factor and requires the efficiency and stability of the upstream unpacking process as a guarantee.


4. During the manual handling of lead-acid batteries, collisions may occur, which can damage the sealing performance of the battery and cause leakage during use. This not only affects battery performance but may also pose safety hazards.


Solution:

The entire stack of lead-acid batteries is transported by a conveyor line and signals are sent to the robot and vision system. After receiving the signal, the robot triggers the 3D camera to take photos, and the vision system processes the captured images to obtain information on the type, size, and pose of the lead-acid battery. Based on the information provided by the visual system, the robot automatically plans the grasping path and placement position, accurately grasps the lead-acid battery and places it in the designated position. The system repeats the above cycle until the entire stack is dismantled.


Technical advantages

FUWEI Intelligent 3D Vision Technology provides powerful technical support for automated palletizing systems with its precise spatial positioning ability and powerful data processing capability. Through high-precision cameras and sensors, the system can obtain real-time three-dimensional image information of lead-acid battery stacks, and then identify the precise position and posture of each battery. Based on this information, the system can automatically plan the optimal unpacking path and grabbing method, ensuring that each operation can be completed accurately and without errors.


In the process of automated unpacking, when facing lead-acid battery stacks of different specifications and layouts, the Fuwei intelligent 3D vision system can automatically adjust parameters and strategies to ensure the smooth progress of unpacking operations. At the same time, the system can also monitor the work environment in real time, avoiding recognition errors caused by changes in lighting, occlusion, and other factors, ensuring the stability and reliability of the unpacking operation.


In summary, the 3D vision guided automated disassembly system for automotive lead-acid batteries is an important innovation in the field of intelligent manufacturing.  It injects new impetus into the development of automobile manufacturing and related industrial chains with its precise, efficient, and intelligent characteristics.
