METROLOGY Providing an adaptive solution, RoboGauge brings au-
tom ated 3D scanning to the plant fl oor, by combining one of its Helix scanners with a FANUC robot, integrated with a collaborative robot safety solution. The important point of the RoboGauge is it eliminates the need for a safety enclo- sure—precisely what collaborative robotics is all about. The RoboGauge perimeter is monitored using laser scanners that use diffused refl ections of emitted infrared lasers to create a two-dimensional programmable detection safety fi eld. The RoboGauge Cell includes a rigid machine base for holding both robot and part fi xture with translucent side panels that light up to provide visual color status indication. It handles and measures a variety of parts including sheetmetal, fab- rications, molded parts and castings, and can be used in comparative or absolute inspection mode. The Helix 3D laser scanner incorporates a MEMS sensor. This means laser line quantity, density, length and orientation are programmable and eliminates the need for the robot to physically move the Helix sensor.
“This [affordable] solution means even smaller companies can look at in-line or near-line measurements robotic metrol- ogy automation,” said Mills. Although called a gage, Mills stressed that the measurement is an absolute inspection, programmed from a CAD description of the part.
