Adaptive Robot Control (ARC)

Sponsor

The airplane manufacturer Airbus UK has put into good use the advance technology of the Adaptive Robot Control (ARC). Allowing for metrology-assisted production, the Metris Adaptive Control solutions have effectively proven to achieve advancement in terms of time saving and quality driven production process. The metrology enabled into a robotic drilling solution allows for the metrology device to position, verify, and validate during the process. The K-series uses LEDs to monitor the robot, the part, the fixturing, and the drilling, all done in real time monitoring to instantaneously do corrections on the fly. Successfully implemented solutions have reported a vast reduction in time and zero defects using the Metris Adaptive Solution. For larger applications such as the use of several robots to complete a larger task, the Metris IGPS system can be scaled up to accommodate any size.
