Adaptive Robot Control
Accurate robot positioning in any circumstances
Adaptive Robot Control activates a closed metrology-driven feedback loop that firmly increases the precision of industrial robots. Regardless whether robots are deployed for machining, inspection, applying beads or manipulating objects, roboting tasks are consequently executed with 0.1mm absolute accuracy, irrespective of degrading phenomena like play, mechanical flexibility, backlash or thermal effects.
Features
- Dynamic tracking and closed feedback loop to robot controller
- Tracking volume of 17m3 (expandable)
- Tracking sample rate up to 1000Hz
- Simultaneous measurement of up to 1,024 points
- Accuracy down to 0.1mm in the entire working volume of the robot
Applications
- Accurate drilling and riveting on wings and fuselages where the motion of the part is monitored
- Robot machining (drilling/fettling/milling) where the motion of the tool is monitored
- High-precision placement of objects or tools
- Accurate material depositing (sealant, tape layering, etc.)
Benefits
- Independent metrology chain for industrial robot applications
- Providing high level of absolute robot accuracy
- Portable and scalable solution
- Investment is only a fraction of new product equipment with comparable accuracy
