Robotized Laser Radar Inspection Made Easy with Metrolog X4 i-Robot

Nikon Metrology and Metrology Group Presented at the 2018 Leadership Fair (Stuttgart, 24-27 April, 2018) The 3D Metrology Solution: Fully controlled and automated laser radar programmed by Robot-equipped Metrolog X4 i-Robot software for Silma X4 i-Robot simulation software.

TwinCAT Vision – Machine vision easily integrated into automation technology

Automatic detection, traceability and quality control of products are becoming increasingly important tasks across all stages of production. These trends are aided by inexpensive cameras and high-performance computers, which enable the use of image processing technology in more areas than ever before. Image processing has several advantages over visual inspection by humans, especially for quality control purposes. Optical inspection based on image processing can be carried out in a highly repeatable and deterministic manner. Measurements of parts down to the micrometer range, which are almost impossible to perform for humans, can be implemented easily.

Measurement at the Cutting Edge

When it comes to high-precision measurement in a three-shift operation, slow processes and laborious conventional measuring technology can strain patience, effectiveness and efficiency. With a quantum leap in measuring technology, the traditional Swabian company Stihl has now significantly accelerated the quality testing of crankshafts and connecting rods at their main factory in Waiblingen, Germany. They use the Leitz PMM-C 3D coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and highly parameterised software which enables operator self-checking, even with complex measurements.

Faster Large-Scale Laser Scanning as Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Expands Flagship Leica Absolute Scanner range

New Leica Absolute Scanner LAS-XL Defines a New Market Segment with a Larger Scanning Field than Any Other Laser Scanner on the Market.

Renishaw reduces machining time for aerospace impeller manufacturer

Global engineering technologies company Renishaw has supplied commercial and consumer engineering conglomerate Honeywell with a high-precision compact touch probe and PC-based inspection software. The technology allows Honeywell to take measurements prior to the machining of its impellers to detect any misalignment in the axial displacement before the part is machined.
