Abstract

Ensuring stable machinery operation is critical for both production efficiency and safety in industrial settings, with mechanical parts cleaning serving as a key pre‑assembly process. This study presents a vision‑based quality inspection and robotic grasping system for mechanical parts, integrating deep learning with automated control. A custom parts dataset was created, and the YOLOv5 network was enhanced by replacing its SPP structure with a novel SPC (Spatial Pyramid without Pooling) design, which eliminates pooling layers and achieves improved accuracy and recall over the baseline model. For automated handling, a camera‑based vision system, combined with camera and hand‑eye calibration, computes part coordinates in the robot base frame; these coordinates and part type information are transmitted to the robot via Modbus/TCP. The proposed system demonstrates a viable pathway toward higher automation levels in parts inspection and sorting, contributing to improved manufacturing quality and operational reliability.
