Objective
The project tackles problems for automation of wood-sanding machine, in 24 months through the development of a robotic agency based on 3 interacting agents: a) an optical sensing system to detect wood panel shape and position b) an intelligent control system c) driving an improved array of pneumatic actuators. In order to control the sanding process and to optimise panel surface finish it is necessary that panel dimensions, shape and position are measured on line, while the panel is moving on the transport belt and entering the machine and that actuators are controlled in force in order to apply the required force distribution on the panel surface, so that each part of the panel is machined at the desired pressure level. This Co-Operative research project is designed on the needs of a cluster of complementary SMEs, which operate in different business areas. 1. VIET SpA -Manufacturer of wood-working machines (IT) 2.
