Robot-guided Measurement Technology

C:\Documents and Settings\11000487\Desktop\PR237_Robotergeführte Messtechnik-35px

Micro-Epsilon Messtechnik offers a number of methods for robot measurement tasks. In particular, these are used for wide area, high-precision measurements and where there are increased flexibility requirements. Non-contact sensor data guides the tools or devices attached to the robot arms. For example, a laser sensor can be used for dynamic distance measurements when applying adhesive beads to car roof rails or windscreens.
