Metris Adaptive Robot Control introduces full 6D closed loop feedback for industrial robots. Whether the robot is used for machining, inspection, applying beads or manipulating objects, roboting tasks are now executed with 0,1mm absolute accuracy, irrespective of degrading phenomena like play, mechanical Flexibility, backlash or thermal behavior.
The adaptive robot control solution is based on the Metris K-Series Optical CMM that tracks the robot tool and other objects in its environment in order to dynamically correct the robot tool position. OLP (off-line programming) programs can be truly developed off-line and executed on the robot without re-teaching while achieving absolute accuracy and repeatable precision.
