Verify surface quality & dimensional accuracy of small features on large components
Our cobots consist of a collaborative 6-axis robot and a stable optical 3D measurement sensor, which provides repeatable and traceable measurements in high resolution even under production conditions. Handling, programming and measurement of taught-in measurement series do not require any previous metrology knowledge.
This makes cobots ideal for verifying the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of workpieces in existing production environments. Users check the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of small features on large components.

Easy teach-in of measurement series
No prior knowledge of metrology required
This is made possible by intuitive, hand-guided operating elements for teaching in measurement series, automatic measurement evaluation and a housing-less safety concept. 

High mobility & flexibility
Measurement directly on the machine tool
Cobots can be positioned as required due to their mobile design. This allows users to measure their components directly in the machine tool.

Automation: When measurement technology increases productivity
Bruker Alicona's automation options enable automated and user-independent surface measurement and evaluation of micro-prevision components or micro-structured surface details on large components.

Production measurement technology: Requirements for modern measuring systems
Production measurement technology requires highly accurate and fast optical 3D measurements, easy handling, high cost efficiency with fast ROI and production capability including meaurement automation.

The DiscCobot is used for the quality assurance of large rotationally symmetric components up to 120kg. In particular, the Cobot is applied in the standardized evaluation of edge breaks. By verifying minimal radii, it prevents sharp edges that can, in the worst case, compromise aircraft safety. The DiscCobot is used in the aircraft industry for the measurement of e.g. turbine housings and turbine discs as well as in the tool industry e.g. for the cutting edge measurement of saw blades. 

The Turbine Cobot is used for the automatic measurement of break edges on turbine cases. Up to 500 measuring positions are taught-in and measured automatically.

Whereas the existing TurbineCobot and DiscCobot are application-specific solutions for the tooling and aerospace industry, the new CompactCobot is a universal solution applicable to all industries to verify surface state and dimensional accuracy of also large components.
