In‐line laser measurement in the assembly process Available to Purchase

Outlines the use of in‐line laser‐based data cameras for adaptive control and robot guidance applications in durable goods manufacturing processes. States that although traditionally such systems were used for quality control applications, they can now be used in many other situations. Describes the use of laser‐based triangulation measurement for adaptive control in the assembly process. Examines typical measurement features, measurement algorithms and software, visual fixturing and a number of applications. Concludes that laser‐based measurements provide rapid, accurate and reliable data and that it will enable automation of numerous processes.
