(Nikon Metrology: Brighton, MI) -- The Nikon Laser Radar combined with Metrologic Group’s software suite, Silma X4 i-Robot and Metrolog X4 i-Robot, provide a highly flexible and accurate 3D metrology solution, designed for shop-floor CMM quality measurements in short time cycles. This single, intuitive software suite controls both the Laser Radar and the robot, thus simplifying part measurement programming and inspection.

Virtual robot inspection programming

Silma X4 i-Robot is a virtual offline programming and simulation tool capable of generating automatically optimized laser radar and robot positions (see screenshot, above). It not only takes care of the robot constraints (e.g., singularities, over speed, limits) but also the Laser Radar specifics (line of sight, incidence angle) to combine optimized and collision-free trajectories. What was a complex programming operation is now as simple as a mouse click.
