Unlocking Precision: How Bruker Alicona and Collaborative Robots are Transforming 3D Optical Measurement

Estimated reading time 2 minutes

In today’s high-tech manufacturing precision is everything. Ensuring the quality and accuracy of intricate components calls for cutting-edge measurement technology, Bruker Alcona’s 3D optical measurement systems combine optical sensors with a versatile, easy-to-use collaborative robot, offering manufacturers an exciting leap forward in automated measurement technology.

High-Tech, High-Impact Measurement with the R25 Sensor

At the heart of Bruker Alcona’s systems is the R25 optical sensor. This advanced sensor performs high-resolution measurements of both surface finish and geometric form with extraordinary accuracy. It is integrated with a 6-axis collaborative robot arm, offering a range of motion and flexibility perfect for dynamic production environments.

Portable and Adaptable for Real-World Manufacturing

What makes this platform so unique is its portability and adaptability. The cobot is portable allowing it to be moved to a large component or alongside machine tools, or the component to be measured can be placed on a built-in mounting plate for stable measurements. The robot’s large, flexible frame means it can handle everything from small, delicate components to large, machined parts, giving manufacturers a powerful tool for quality assurance.

No Metrology Expertise Needed

Thanks to intuitive, user-friendly software, programming and executing measurements is straightforward with Bruker Alcona’s systems, users don’t need to be metrology experts to get the most out of their equipment. The system can function independently or integrate seamlessly with machine tools, providing on-the-spot measurements and reducing the need for time-consuming part transfers.

MetMax: The Power Behind the Precision

Running on Bruker Alcona’s MetMax software suite, the system is equipped with powerful, flexible tools to analyse both surface finish and geometric form. This industry-leading software brings extensive capabilities to even the most intricate measurement tasks, ensuring that every detail is captured with high accuracy.
