Robotics and Automation in metrology offer numerous advantages, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. They reduce human errors and speed up measurement processes.
Robotic arms can reach difficult-to-access areas and perform repetitive tasks with consistent precision. Automation allows continuous 24/7 operations, saving time and resources.
Data collection and analysis are streamlined, providing real-time insights for quicker decision-making. Integration with advanced software enables faster and more complex measurements. Additionally, robots can handle fragile or hazardous items, ensuring safety for workers.
Overall, the use of robots and automation in metrology optimizes productivity, ensures quality control, and drives advancements in manufacturing and industrial processes.
Leica Laser tracker + As1 scanner ensure a high speed measurement and accuracy. The scanner is mounted on a robot and with a optional rail can cover a 30meter distance. Small, large and complicate manufacture can be quickly and accurately measured. Laser tracker automation cell can be install directly on the line and do not require to relocate the part as should be done for a CMM. On a new project the measurement cell can be upgrade any time adding a rail extension or an other robot instead the CMM should be replace
Some production do not have tight cycle time and production rate to justify a full automated robotic solution. In this case ALTO develop a semi-automated solution where the measurements are fully manually with a Laser Tracker, an Arm or a photogrammetry and the analysis and the report are fully automated. The operator should follow the inspection procedure and the calculation and the reporting are done in few seconds by the software only.
Avris Robot can be considered as the modern innovation to the traditional control jigs, to comply with the demand of on-line inspection: it is as robust as a jig but it is as flexible as a robot, able to be re-programmed when a new job starts.
​
The robot sensors configuration includes touch trigger and optical devices and produces the same inspection report as a common CMM.
