Alicona Cobot

ENABLING MODERN PRODUCTION STRATEGIES

Colaborative robots

Alicona Cobots combine a collaborative 6-axis robot and a robust optical 3D measurement sensor to deliver traceable and repeatable high-resolution measurements, even in production. They require no prior knowledge of metrology and make handling, programming, and executing measurement series easy. This is made possible by intuitive hand-guided controls for the teach-in of measurement series, automatic measurement evaluation, and a no-enclosures safety concept. As a result, Cobots are ideal for verifying the surface state and dimensional accuracy of work pieces in existing production environments. The following real-world examples demonstrate the advantages and capabilities of two new Alicona Cobots. The DiscCobot is used to automatically verify the edges of turbine discs and the highly flexible Tool-Cobot allows users to measure large tools directly in the machine tool.

DISCCOBOT

Avoiding sharp edges on turbine disks

The DiscCobot is used for the quality assurance of turbine discs weighing up to 120 kg. By verifying minimal radii, it prevents sharp edges that can, in the worst case, compromise aircraft safety. Operating and programming the Cobot is easy and intuitive. The robot arm, with its attached measuring sensor, is easily and conveniently manipulated by the operator to reach the desired surface position. Two handles with an integrated joystick are mounted on the sensor, making the robot arm easy to move. A smartphone app displays the live view for manual, precise positioning and measurement. Using connected automation software, any series of measurements can be defined at several positions, which the operator then starts with the press of a button. Control and measurement are fully automated, and upon completion the worker receives a measurement report with OK or Not OK details.

CompactCobot

The universal solution to ensure industrial quality

Whereas the existing ToolCobot and DiscCobot are application-specific solutions for the tooling and aerospace industry, the new CompactCobot is a universal solution applicable to all industries to verify surface state and dimensional accuracy of also large components.
