In various embodiments, a tool plate configured to receive a robotic end effector is removably matable with a robot appendage via a quick-release mechanism.

A machine integrated positioning system shows an operator where to place a raw part in the press brake or other machinery. Further, the operator is informed if the dimensions associated with the raw part are, or are not, correct to produce the planned finished part. The operator is visually shown how the raw part is to be oriented. The operator is informed if the raw part is right-side-up, along with other pre-final placement information. If these and other conditions are not met, the machine integrated positioning system may prevent the press brake and other machinery from cycling.

A pressure vent valve for ventilation of the interior of a motor vehicle, with a frame with at least one sealing surface and with at least one flexible valve flap mounted on the frame. In an idle position, the valve flap assembly abuts the sealing surface to prevent airflow through the pressure vent valve. When a sufficient pressure occurs, the valve flap assembly assumes an open position lifted from the sealing surface to allow airflow through the pressure vent valve. The pressure vent valve further includes an installation indicator formed in or on the frame to ensure alignment during installation.

A code display medium includes a code image display portion which arranges a plurality of code images side by side in a circumferential direction around an axis of screw fastening and which displays the plurality of code images so as to be optically readable, each of the plurality of code images including identification information for identifying at least one of a fastening material for the screw fastening and/or an object to be fastened by the screw fastening and a fixing portion which fixes the code image display portion to a position that is on the object to be fastened and that can be simultaneously captured with the fastening material in a state where the screw fastening is performed.

An electronic device, a method and computer program product for managing traceability of at least a first cutting tool in a manufacturing process. The method includes the steps of obtaining information related to at least a first identification marker; decoding the at least first cutting tool identification marker to determine at least first cutting tool identification data; obtaining information related to at least a first carrier identification marker of at least a first carrier in the manufacturing process; decoding the at least first carrier identification marker to determine at least first carrier identification data; and generating a first association data indicative of the at least first cutting tool identification data and the at least first carrier identification data.

A robotic system comprising an end effector-mounted sensor is disclosed. In various embodiments, a robotic arm is manipulated to move a sensor to a position such that an object of interest is within a read range of the sensor. A sensor data read by the sensor is received via a communication interface. The sensor data is used to determine an attribute of the object; and the determined attribute of the object is used to determine a plan to grasp and move the object.

The manufacturing method of a motor core includes attaching an ID code to a stack of blanked members in which a magnet insertion hole to fill with a resin material is formed, the ID code containing information in accordance with a type of the stack, reading the information from the ID code which is attached to the stack, and setting a mold condition based on the information read from the ID code. The mold condition includes at least one type of condition including: the resin material to be injected to the magnet insertion hole, an injection amount of the resin material, and a discharge position of the resin material. A mold device is controlled to inject the resin material to the magnet insertion hole in accordance with the mold condition.

A method used in a welding system includes detecting multiple markers on a welding torch. The markers are detected using one or more cameras. The method also includes blocking live welding using the welding torch while the one or more cameras are unable to detect at least one of the multiple markers on the welding torch.

A computer device for validating the installation of a part in a device is provided. The computer device is programmed to receive a first image of a device identifier for the device, receive a second image of a part identifier for the part, receive a third image of serial identifier the part, compare the device identifier, the part identifier, and the serial identifier to validate the part, receive a fourth image of the part after installation, determine whether the part was properly installed based on the fourth image, if the determination is that the part was not properly installed, instruct the display device to display a notification that the part was improperly installed, and if the determination is that the part was properly installed, store installation information.
