- The Genesis Mobile Metrology Platform with autonomous motion capabilities brings advanced levels of quality, speed and flexibility into a wide range of inspection applications.
Equipped with the Nikon Laser Radar this versatile metrology system can be used for automated, non-contact and target-less inspection of objects ranging in sizes from tiny parts to an entire aircraft wing.
The laser radar can automatically perform feature, edge, hole, and trim measurements. With the laser radar, the inspection of features is much faster than traditional methods and can be completely automated – without the need for an operator during runtime.
The Genesis Mobile Metrology Platform is a fully integrated package utilizing an Otto 1500 Heavy Duty Self-Driving Vehicle to transport the Nikon Laser Radar equipment, operator interface and computer.
The system can be applied to repeat metrology processes in support of daily production and or special, one-time situations that require the laser radar system to be positioned near a target work piece.
With wireless communication and being battery powered, the OTTO 15OO is directed to go to a location via the operator interface, the system automatically maps the area and environment and dynamically reacts to changes in that environment. Otto navigates just like a person does, maintaining a map of the space in its memory and uses visual reference points to always know its position. Guides, infrastructure, or predefined paths are not required. This provides maximum flexibility in any inspection process.
With faster measurements, better quality data and improved usability, The Genesis Mobile Metrology Platform offers non-contact inspection, true single-person operation, and supports off-line programming for completely automated and unattended operation, greatly reducing operating costs and providing a superior user experience for automated, non-contact large scale metrology.
