K-Robot
In-line robotized scanning and inspection
K-Robot is a flexible, productive and accurate metrology solution for in-production-line inspection using an industrial robot. The Optical CMM dynamically tracks the location of K-Robot's ModelMaker laser scanner while the robot is running an automatic scanning job. High scanning accuracy is guaranteed, as proven metrology components of K-Robot obsolete cyclic robot calibration and eliminate the influence of robot warm-up, drift and backlash.
