Measurement Technology System

Abstract

The Measurement Technology System (MTS) is a complex robotic system mated to a state of the art LEICA Laser Tracker/Scanner to provide automatic scanning of machined parts. This system is intended to ultimately replace the existing method-namely, manual scanning of the parts using the same LEICA equipment. This method is long, tedious, and prone to error. The MTS design approach was to mount the LEICA Scanning sensor (T-Scan) to a maneuver the T-Scan around the part under inspection in pre-programmed trajectories and velocities to ensure that the part is completely scanned with the required point density and minimal human interaction.
