ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOTIVE LAMPS AND AN OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
An assembly system is provided for automotive lamps and an operation method thereof. In the invention, three kinds of function robots are responsible for the transmission work of the workpieces among various functional stations, which realizes automatic coating, fastening, and whole lamp performance testing, etc., and reduces the amount of manual intervention and improves the process integration. By setting a reasonable turnover area, the waiting time caused by the difference of transmission rate among processes is shortened. Meanwhile, the invention provides an assembly system with a bilateral assembly line operating simultaneously, which greatly improves the efficiency of the assembly system.
METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A POSITION OF A MATRIX HEADLAMP OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, CONTROL DEVICE, AND MOTOR VEHICLE
The present disclosure relates to a method for calibrating a position of a matrix headlamp of a motor vehicle by means of a camera of the motor vehicle, wherein the matrix headlamp has a plurality of segments controllable independently of one another for light emission. At least one first image of a sign is recorded by means of the camera, a location area in which the sign is arranged is determined, illuminance of a first segment is changed, at least one second image is recorded and checked, whether a change in a glare effect detected on the basis of the at least one recorded second image has occurred, and if so, the position of the matrix headlamp is calibrated depending on the first segment and position information derived from the location area.
