High-precision position control for robots

Position control for robotsPhoto by Pepperl+Fuchs Gmbh 

 

 

The new VMT RP product from VMT Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH based in Mannheim, Germany,
offers a complete system for robot position control.
Controlled positioning
Most processing tasks involve the positioning of an attachment or a tool in
relation to a workpiece. The constant gauge reference is a decisive factor in determining the success
of the overall process. The selection of scanning positions on the workpiece and the efficient
conversion of this information into a workpiece position correction are
essential for the success of the positioning process.

Advantages of a controlled relative position:
• Complete correction of all position errors made by the robot.
• High-precision positioning better than repeat accuracy.
• Fast positioning thanks to continuously measuring sensors.
• Best possible relative position in the case of workpiece shape deviations.
• Complete control over the workpiece and positioning tolerances.
• If required, dynamic tracking of a moving workpiece (optional).

Advantages for the user:
• Consistent manufacturing quality, even if the components age and temperatures fluctuate.
• Best possible production quality with shape tolerances.
• Reduced cycle times and higher production quality.
• Minimal setup, operating, and maintenance requirements.
• Complete process control and documentation:

VMT Bildverarbeitungssysteme GmbH will present new processes and
products for robot path correction, laser-assisted joining of attachments, and
3D position measurement using a camera. VMT commands a global presence and has recently renewed the TÜV
certification for its quality management system according to ISO 9001:2000.
In the training center at the Mannheim headquarters, the systems can be
demonstrated and information documented at any time by appointment. More
information is available at www.vmt-gmbh.com.
