K-Robot proven metrology chain

  • MMD digital laser scanner for scanning the part
  • K-Series Optical CMM to accurately track the motion of the laser scanner
  • Focus Inspection Automation software for analyzing part-to-cad inspection of features, gap&flush, sections and surfaces

Key benefits and features

  • Independent metrology chain
    • Requires no external metrology, reference part or CMM
    • Independent of robot accuracy : Robust for robot drift, warm-up, backlash
    • No need for cyclic robot calibration
  • Increase product quality by introducing metrology accuracy
    • Focus on the product quality by measuring part against CAD
    • Global absolute accuracy: better than 100 μm in working volume
