Metrolog X4 I-Robot v7 eliminates the need for several software packages and a complex integration to control a robotic cell. It controls both the measuring device and the robot directly.
Software connects not only to the measuring device but also to the robot controller and “drive it like a CMMs”, providing a centralized brain to control the robotic inspection cell. The systems take advantage of the intrinsic measuring device accuracy and not from the robot’s which becomes a simple “manipulator”. Because the robot path is linked to the features to inspect, any new part or part design change can easily be (re)programmed. This approach eliminates the need for complex automation architectures and allows a CMM operator to rapidly learn how to take ownership and independently control a robotic inspection cell.

- Connects to measuring device and robot controller to drive it like a CMM
- Systems take advantage of intrinsic measuring device accuracy
- New parts or part design changes can be easily reprogrammed
- No need for complex automation architectures
- Allows CMM operator to independently control a robotic inspection cell
