An Industrial Robot as Part of an Automatic System for Geometric Reverse Engineering

A novel TCF calibration method for robotic visual measurement system

“…Robotic visual measurement system that takes advantage of the industrial robot (high flexibility, high repeatability, large motion range) and visual sensor (high-accuracy, non-contact measurement) has been extensively applied for quality inspection in the production assembly lines. The automobile body-in-white inspection system based on industrial robot is a case in point [1,2], in which the industrial robot is utilized as the orienting device and drives the visual sensor to inspect the key dimensions on the car body-in-white. For the identical products with a same model on the assembly line, the industrial robot follows a same path for inspection.…”
