HEAD AND AUTOMATED MECHANIZED METHOD WITH VISION
First Claim
1. Automated machining head with vision, of the type used industrially associated with robot arms (1), to perform various machining tasks, such as drilling and riveting, controlled by a robot controller module (2) characterised in that it comprises:
- a pressure foot (3), encasing the machining tool (4),the said pressure foot (3) associated with a vertical movement device (5) provided with mechanical locking (6)vision equipment provided with at least two video cameras (7), connected to a computer (8) provided with specific software (9), anda communications module (10)

Abstract
An automated machining head with vision and procedure includes a pressure foot provided with side windows with the capacity to open and close, encasing the machining tool, associated with a vertical movement device provided with mechanical locking, vision equipment connected to a computer and a communications module. The main advantage is endowing an anthropomorphic robot, originally designed for the car industry and with relatively low accuracy, with a notably higher machining accuracy, equivalent to equipment of a much greater accuracy or to parallel kinematic-type robots, also compensating, in real-time and in a continuous manner, for off-centring and loss of perpendicularity by the pressure foot, which are common in conventional heads and are a source of errors and inaccuracy.
