With the rapid development of modern intelligent manufacturing, Robots and other automation equipment are widely used in metal additive manufacturing, green remanufacturing, welding and other fields. Visual sensing is a key link in robot intelligent manufacturing. This article addresses the above requirements, Designed and calibrated a set of vision sensors based on laser structured light, and independently developed a machine vision system for the robotic laser additive manufacturing process. This method realizes the internal and external parameter calibration of the camera through the Matlab camera calibration toolkit, uses Labview programming to extract the pixel coordinates, fits the laser plane equation in the camera coordinate system according to the least square method, and realizes the conversion from pixel coordinates to laser plane coordinates. Finally, the "Eye-in-Hand" system of the vision sensor and the robot realizes hand-eye calibration, and obtains the conversion of pixel coordinates to the three-dimensional base coordinates of the robot. Experiments show that the developed vision sensor has high positioning accuracy.
