Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Automated System for Setting Up and Verifying the Laser Engraving Process for Confectionery Products Using R-PRO Simulation and Machine Vision S.N. KHOMENKO, V.G. BLAGOVESHCHENSKY This article examines an automated system for configuring and verifying the laser engraving process for confectionery products, based on the integrated use of simulation modeling in R-PRO, a robotic work cell, and a machine vision system. The study addresses the need to shift from manual parameter setup for laser personalization to a model-based approach that enables the preliminary validation of trajectories, time delays, processing zones, and equipment interaction logic. A system architecture is proposed in which digital simulation replicates conveyor movement, product positioning, robot operation, and the engraving process itself, while a machine vision module is employed to determine product location and inspect the quality of the engraved image. The practical significance of this work lies in the potential to reduce commissioning time, minimize the number of test runs on actual equipment, and enhance process reproducibility. Keywords: automation, technological process, laser engraving, confectionery products, R-PRO, simulation modeling, machine vision, robotic work cell, digital simulation, verification.
