Real-world objects have depth, width and height, and automated systems such as robots need to “see” in these three dimensions if they are to operate successfully.
Aerospace is leading the way in the IIoT, with a heightened focus on additive manufacturing, the digital thread, and lightning-fast 3D measurement and inspection technologies.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the growing network of physical objects that are embedded with sensors to enable connection with each other and exchange of data.
Creaform has launched Creaform ACADEMIA™, its completely new academic suite of 3D measurement solutions designed especially for the academic market. Creaform ACADEMIA offers a didactic suite for forward-thinking teachers and researchers, who are looking to inspire, collaborate and push the innovation envelope forward using latest industry technologies.
Metrologic Group and Creaform entered into a partnership in which Creaform integrates Metrologic Group’s software suite with its new CUBE-R 3D automated dimensional inspection solution.
Robots manufacturer Stäubli Robotics and 3D measurement software company Metrologic Group jointly developed the first Coordinate Measuring Robot (CMR), achieving a 100-micron 3D absolute and trackless accuracy.
Whether you’re talking about measurement checks in the quality room or a quick, accurate check on the shop floor, height gages remain one of the most useful tools in metrology today.
