Improving CMM productivity with Automation
Loading and unloading are some of the most tedious tasks and, in many cases, the bottleneck during automated metrology inspection.
By adding collaborative robots to the inspection process, you can increase inspection speed significantly. Collaborative robots are easy-to-use and won't require specialized personnel. You can trust that the multi-part inspection will be done automatically.
This process is also known as machine tending.
Fast and High ROI
CMM Tending frees the operator from repetitive tasks, allowing him to execute additional activities or even scale up to several CMMs simultaneously; this means you can make more in less time and with fewer people.
Streamline automation software is the core of the machine tending system; it provides seamless integration between robots, PolyWorks|Inspector, and your coordinated measuring machine.
You don’t need a specialized robot programmer, Streamline software provides an interactive common interface amongst all hardware.
Safe
The robots integrate collision detection and safety sensors, the machine tending systems can work side by side with people.
Greatest Value
Highest productivity and lowest cost by saving time on repetitive tasks with high repeteability.
