Abstract

Traditional CNC laser engraving systems often face limitations in flexibility, requiring manual alignment and pre-defined G-code files. This paper proposes an advanced automated laser engraving system based on a 3-axis Cartesian robot that bridges the gap between industrial control reliability and modern computer vision. The core novelty of this research lies in the seamless integration of a Mitsubishi Q03UDE Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with a Python-based image processing framework. By utilizing the OpenCV library for real-time edge detection and trajectory generation, the system can autonomously identify object positions and convert complex patterns into precise motion commands. Communication is established via the MC Protocol over Ethernet, ensuring high-speed data synchronization between the vision system and the servo-driven hardware. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves high precision in engraving, significantly reduces setup time by eliminating manual calibration, and maintains the robust stability required for industrial environments. This approach provides a scalable solution for intelligent manufacturing and personalized production.
