Project: Visual Assisted Stone Machining Center
The VASMAC project aims at making the process of stone cutting more efficient and accurate. Through the installation of a Vision System on the CNC machine tool and the development of specific software modules for the control unit, the processes of stone defects detection, workpieces location on the slab, cutting path definition and collision avoidance are optimized thus reducing costs and wastes and improving working conditions and safety. A single operator, not necessarily highly skilled, will be able to perform all the above mentioned tasks on the machine, by means of a user-friendly interface that can be used also in the harsh environment typical of stone productions.
