Measuring the Motion: Synchronizing a Laser Tracker for High-Accuracy Handling Tasks

Volume 4, Issue 1

Maria Hennes, Manfred Juretzko

The article focuses on synchronizing the position of tool center points (TCPs) of assembly robots with a laser tracker. Up to now, the robot’s trajectories were surveyed solely in a stop-and-go-mode. Because the actual trajectory of an object is needed...

Roll Angle in 6DOF Tracking

Volume 3, Issue 2

Stephen Kyle

In a 3D polar measurement system which tracks a probing device in 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF), the probe’s roll angle can be identified as a critical parameter in some system design concepts. This paper reviews methods and proposals for roll angle...
