The robot has the view
Capturing transparent objects in three dimensions is a major challenge. Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have developed a sensor that is able to solve this problem. The system has now been successfully tested for the first time with a robot. Applications in large-scale industrial manufacturing processes, such as the semiconductor or automotive industry, could be possible.

A move to Renishaw’s Equator™ 300 automated gauging system gave Linex Manufacturing all the inspection speed and accuracy it needed. However, on a project implemented before the larger Equator™ 500 was available, bolt holes on the extremities of a workpiece lay just outside the gauge’s working envelope. When standard styli and stylus extensions could not reach, an additively manufactured custom stylus provided the answer.
