Abstract: Aiming at the problem that Dongguan city shoe machine equipment manufacturing industry is not high degree of automation, in order to reduce labor costs and avoid workers in direct contact with hazardous substances and other outstanding problems, automatic control, image processing technology were applied to the shoe machine equipment manufacturing industry. The application status and existing problems of shoe machine gluing control part were indepth analyzed,a method that automatic control scheme based on image processing was presented.Seamless connection method between image processing and motion control was established, shoes′ image was collected by the CCD camera, track coordinates of the shoes′ edge were gotten by using image processing algorithm, and then the coordinates were inputed to the PCbased motion control card. Through the development and design of software, it was realized that the track after image processing direct and in real time drived motion control. The results indicate that the system does not need a staff repeatedly teach different kind of shoes glue path, simple operation, and can greatly improve work efficiency.
Key words: machine vision; motion control; gluing; image processing
