System For Detecting Surface Variations On Engine Cylinder Head Valve Seats

US Patent:
20120105623, May 3, 2012
Filed:
Nov 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/916715
Inventors:
John Christopher Pauli - Trenton MI, US
Nicholas Amaral - Dearborn MI, US
Francis J. Maslar - Grosse Ile MI, US
Gregory Link - Canton MI, US
Assignee:
FORD MOTOR COMPANY - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348 92, 348E07085
Abstract:
A machine vision inspection system that detects defects on machined valve seats that may be caused by a broken cutting tool insert. The system also measures the valve seat width to detect a missing cutting tool insert and monitor reactions to cutting tool forces and tool wear. The system uses high resolution cameras and stable LED light sources. A method is disclosed for manufacturing cylinder heads that are 100% inspected inline for valve seat surface defects.

Circuit Board Assembly System And Method

US Patent:
56281129, May 13, 1997
Filed:
Mar 3, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/398267
Inventors:
Francis J. Maslar - Newtown PA
Robert J. Cantando - Drexel Hill PA
Hugh V. Wilson - Willow Grove PA
Virender Sandhu - Chalfont PA
Assignee:
Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H05K 302
US Classification:
29846
Abstract:
A peer-to-peer control system for a circuit board production line includes multiple processing stations, each of which has an adjustable width conveyor. Control means are provided at each station for controlling the width of the conveyor, receiving board width data signals from an adjacent upstream processing station, and passing the board width data signal, in turn, to an adjacent downstream processing station. A data signal communication network directly connects the controller of each of the processing stations, such as a programmable logic controller, to the controllers of adjacent upstream and downstream stations. Data signals corresponding to the width of circuit boards to be processed by the circuit board production line progress downstream through the line in tandem with circuit boards of that width. The width of conveyors associated with the individual stations can be changed from time to time without emptying the entire production line, and without the need for a master host computer control system keeping track of the width and location of boards in the production line and the width of the conveyors of the various processing stations. Distributed control, relying on the controllers of an upstream station to signal directly to an adjacent downstream station the need for a conveyor width change, provides increased production line flexibility with decreased control system complexity.

Method And System For Fixtureless Assembly Of A Vehicle Platform

US Patent:
20220410995, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Jun 24, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/357592
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Robert Alan Jones - Ypsilanti MI, US
Alexander Marrocco - Windsor, CA
Francis Maslar - Grosse Ile MI, US
Arnon Wexler - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
B62D 65/02
B21D 53/88
Abstract:
A system for assembling a vehicle platform includes a robotic assembly system having at least two robotic arms, a vision system capturing images of an assembly frame, and a control system configured to control the robotic assembly system to assemble the vehicle platform based on images from the vision system, force feedback from the at least two robotic arms, and a component location model. The control system is further configured to identify assembly features of a first component and a second component of the vehicle platform from the images, operate the robotic arms to orient the first component and the second component to respective nominal positions based on the images and the component location model, and operate the robotic arms to assemble the first component to the second component based on the force feedback.

Production-Speed Component Inspection System And Method

US Patent:
20220327681, Oct 13, 2022
Filed:
Apr 8, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/225404
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Elizabeth Bullard - Royal Oak MI, US
Francis Maslar - Grosse Ile MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G06T 7/00
H04N 5/247
H04N 5/04
G06T 7/73
G06K 9/62
G06F 3/14
G06F 3/0482
H04N 5/225
H04N 5/265
G08B 5/36
G08B 21/18
Abstract:
An inspection system for automotive components includes one or more cameras, a controller, a conveyor structure, and a row of platforms. The cameras are configured to collect images corresponding to a selected automotive component. The controller is communicably coupled to the cameras. The conveyor structure is operable to transport the selected automotive component. The cameras are synchronized and triggered to capture images of the selected automotive component with the controller. The controller is configured to generate a composite image based on the data set and generate, at a production speed, an output indicative of the selected automotive component with or without anomaly.

Production-Speed Component Inspection System And Method

US Patent:
20220327688, Oct 13, 2022
Filed:
Apr 8, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/225403
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Elizabeth Bullard - Royal Oak MI, US
Francis Maslar - Grosse Ile MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G06T 7/00
G06T 17/20
G06F 30/15
G06F 30/23
G06N 3/08
Abstract:
A component inspection system and method generate a 3D model based on a point cloud and images of an automotive component captured by an imaging system. It is determined whether an anomaly is present based on artificial intelligence driven training and learning. Upon anomaly detection, a type of anomaly is identified and classified. From the 3D model, a type of the automotive component can be identified. The identification of the automotive component and the anomaly detection involve a controller subject to artificial intelligence driven training and learning. The controller determines presence of anomaly and a location of anomaly if any.

Method For Producing And Checking An Internal Thread

US Patent:
20140112729, Apr 24, 2014
Filed:
Oct 23, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/061374
Inventors:
Peter Wilkins - Grays, UK
Amando Jose Jose Sebastian - Novi MI, US
Timothy M. Hull - Grass Lake MI, US
Juergen Bleyer - Bedburg, DE
Reece Adams - Bridgend, UK
Francis Maslar - Grosse Ile MI, US

Alexander M. Stoll - Bergisch Gladbach, DE
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
G01B 5/16
B23G 1/32
US Classification:
409 66, 33199 R
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing and checking a thread arranged in a cylinder head to receive a spark plug. However, the invention also relates to a device for checking the thread introduced into the cylinder head.By defining a starting point of the internal thread to be produced specifically in terms of position thereof within the parent hole by using spark plug parameters, the spark plug will always be aligned with its spark gap oriented toward the injector. For the purpose of checking, use is made of a plug gage, the screw-in thread of which has the parameters of the spark plug thread and with which, by using a measuring face, the position of an extension on the threaded body can be established. The extension simulates the ground electrode of the spark plug.
