More Information
Summary:Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for measuring the center of gravity of slabs. The apparatus for measuring the center of gravity of slabs includes a main system, a gravity center measurement system, and an unmanned crane. The main system provides information about the dimensions and/or weight of each of a plurality of slabs loaded in a vehicle. The gravity center measurement system includes a photographing unit for photographing the loaded slabs to be moved, a driving unit for moving the photographing unit up and down, and a control unit for calculating the center of gravity and grip position of all of the slabs, to be moved each time, based on information about a position and configuration of each of the slabs from the photographing unit and the information about the dimensions and/or weight of each of the slabs from the main system. The unmanned crane grips and moves the slabs according to the grip position information calculated by the gravity center measurement system.
