Abstract
A method for locating a tool for industrial operations that is positioned in a sequence of operating points of an operating sequence associated to different positions on a component on which work is to be carried out, includes associating a light source to the tool and at least three light sources identifying a position reference triplet fixed with respect to the component. A stereovision apparatus having at least two video cameras acquires at least two respective images of the tool and component. The displacement of the operating points on the component is tracked when carrying out an industrial operation on the component by recognizing positions of the reference triplet and a point of the light source of the tool calculating the position of the operating points of an operating sequence with reference to the position assumed by the reference triplet and evaluating the position of the tool with respect to the calculated position of the operating points.
