Efficiency because of dimensional measurement systems for Integrated Metrology Automation from API

Automated Precision Europe GmbH (API) presents its current portfolio of technology-leading innovations of Dimensional Metrology Tools for Automation at the CONTROL 2023 trade show in Stuttgart, Germany, May 9-12. The seamless integration of portable metrology into automated production enables efficient manufacturing processes and quality assurance. In addition, the measurement systems can be used flexibly for off-line measurements in applications.

API`s innovative Dynamic 9D LADAR is a cutting-edge non-contact laser detection and ranging system that captures both dimensional and surface geometry data. It will be showcased at Control 2023 in hands-on mounted automated applications. The API team will additionally provide information on applications with the SmartTrack Sensor (STS) and the use of the RapidScan and the special software Robot Metrology Solution (RMS). In conjunction with the RADIAN Laser Tracker and Active Target (AT), a complete toolkit is available to verify the performance of industrial robots according to the ISO 9283 standard.
