Part handling based on internal features has been the forte of vision systems, manual techniques, and preservation of orientation for the past few decades. In this article, an analytical and experimental investigation of the process of orienting and stacking of parts based on their internal features is presented, with emphasis on the mechanics of p...

Orientation and stacking of parts has largely been based on their external features. There are a number of parts that need to be oriented and stacked based on their internal features, either because internal features are of primary importance or because of a lack of appropriate external features. In this work, we study the problem of stack stabilit...

Methods for orientation and stacking of parts have been mostly based on the parts' external features. There are a number of parts that need to be oriented and stacked based on internal features, either because internal features are of primary importance or because of a lack of appropriate external features. Issues concerning the orientation and sta...

Direct cutting of foam has the advantage of greater flexibility and reduced lead time over molding. This paper discusses the design and development of a flexible automated system for foam cutting that utilizes hot-wire cutters. The cutters are moved through the use of a five-axis gantry-type robot system equipped with a tool turret. A method for mo...

A compact automated system cuts complicated contours on prefabricated polystyrene blocks which are used as molds to cast Cerrobend, which is used as a shield in radiation therapy. The authors describe the development of the prototype, including details for machine configuration, motion planning and cutting experiments
