| Abstract | The vital part in mosaic making is the assembled of tesserae or tile, where the tiles are arranged in a sequence or pattern. The different looked of the mosaic arts are entirely depends on the choice of materials, skill of creating and applied opus for the mosaic. Now a days, direct method of mosaic making is frequently replaced by indirect method due to the speed up of mosaic worked particularly while assembled in large mosaic surfaces.
Despite mosaic tiling systems has developed for mosaic design in recent times, the systems are confined to certain uniform size square tiles and normally use one size tiles. In this researched, tiling automation for multiple-size square tiles is developed to support mosaic assembly. The system follows the concept of product flow for sorting the tiles. It consists of multiple unit of modules. Each module assembles one size tile in the mosaic production line. The mosaic pallet moves from one module to another module in a moving
conveyor belt to assemble all the tile sizes. The final mosaic is achieved from the last
module. The input to the system is a digital image which is converted to mosaic like image and this image is partition to the machine capacity such that it can assemble the maximum number of tiles in a row. A software is programmed in LabVIEW programing with Data Acquisition software to integrate with the hardware. The roposed tiling automation was
successfully developed and experimented. |
