With an upcomeing thrive to automated systems within almost any industrial branches an increasing demand for reliable measurement technology is emerging. As generally known, any automated system and its control mechanism can be just as good as its underlying measurement technology – acting as the interfacing bridge between the real-world events and the algorithm parameters for automated or semi-automated processes.
Especially in high demanding environments such as tunnel construction and mining, machine’s operators suffer from high maintenence costs to achieve a constant quality output of mechanical measurement technology for various machinery setups. Being forced to rely on inaccurate measurement systems heavily influences the progress towards the development of automated systems for boosting productivity.
VisionMetrics is a provider of highly flexible, ultra-reliable measurement systems for real-time dimensional metrology. The patent-pending platform offers an expandable set of sensors to be mounted on any kind of a moving-actuator-machine. Combining the robust and construction-proof sensors with a software and computation solution based on artificial-intelligence, the VisionMetrics platform offers a competitive dimensional real-time measurement solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Especially multi-axes machines suffer from a highly complex mechanical system for accurate determination of its actuator’s current position and orientation in a real-time manner. By applying the VisionMetrics platform technology the initial setup-cost can be significantly reduced and the ongoing maintanance cost can be pushed down to a near-zero level due to rubust hardware-integration sultions and AI-based automatic self-calibration mechanisms.
Specialized algorithms and special hardware is designed to handle errors and uncertainties even under the heaviest pollution situations, to work reliable in high-demanding applications such as drill-rig environments.
Real-time metrology for a wide range of applications
Depending on the type of the underlying measurement problem the VisionMetrics platform is configurable to measure with a highly deterministic update-rate of 200Hz for measuring multiple actuator’s coordinates on six axes, enabling deterministic feedback-loops for automated control. The platform can also be engaged to achieve an accuracy down to 0,1mm per axis at reduced measurement speed. The achievable measurement speed and accuracy depends on the mechanical sensor mounting situation on the machine.
