Automated tool calibration.
BullsEye
BullsEye
is a calibration device that automatically maintains
a constant, accurate tool center point (TCP) on the
robot including axes X, Y, & Z as well as the torch
angle, eliminating frequent program touch-ups.
With BullsEye,
the robot is instructed to check its own TCP at regular
intervals defined by the operator. Depending on the
results of the check the robot will go back to work,
automatically recalibrate itself and go back to work,
or if the mis-alignment is sufficient, notify the
operator and wait for instruction.
BullsEye
increases both the robot's up-time and the quality
of the manufactured parts.
A laser
BullsEye version is also available for restoring the
laser cutting tool path alignment. BullsEye/L calculates
the joint angles to restore the correct TCP location.
The robot will remember the TCP location, not the
angles of the robot's axes.
ToolFind
ToolFind is a calibration device for use with tandem wire torch configurations. The unit utilizes a camera to determine the tool center point TCP of the twin wires and is integrated to the Wolf Cell Control for proper operation and monitoring.
