Gap Flex

Collaborative robot station for gap and flush measurement for multi-materials

Inspection during the assembly of unpainted and painted metal sheets.

Working principle:

Upon arrival in the station, the vision system determines the positioning of the vehicle with respect to the robots. A correction of their trajectories is carried out. Each of the robots then follows their trajectory as the vehicle moves in the station. For each section to be analysed, an image is taken instantly and is
transmitted to the processing unit. The calculation algorithms extract the measurements and compare them with the parameterized tolerances. The verdict is passed on to the manufacturing process. A synoptic displays the results by indicating their location and nature by using a colour code: red (NOK), orange (within the tolerance limits), green (OK) -for each section.
