The Autoscan Collaborative-Gage and Autoscan Collaborative-CMM metrology technology combine Helix smart sensor and Vector analysis software with Collaborative Robot technology. The Collaborative Robot is designed to allow direct interaction with a production operator within a shared collaborative workspace where the robot and operator can perform tasks simultaneously during manufacturing operations. The Autoscan self-teach programming capability allows the robot to be programmed quickly without the need for off-line software tools. Each robot position is self-taught by manually dragging the robot to the next required component scan position.
