Workcell Alignment & (TCP) Calibration

TCP laser sensor and URCap for precise check, measurement and calibration of the tool tip in industrial environments. In many robot applications, such as dispensing or welding, the tool is constantly changing due to wear or deformation. As these applications often rely on the highest possible accuracy, it is necessary to regularly check and calibrate the tool center point (TCP) of the tool, e.g. after a tool change, after each maintenance, at the beginning of a work shift or even after each process cycle. The recalibration should occur automatically. This minimizes downtime, reduces scrap and rework, and increases the quality of the produced products. The URCap software was developed so that anyone can easily integrate the complex tool center point measurement. Whether your cobot application focuses on dispensers, welders, milling cutters, drills, pipette measurement, grippers, etc. And all of this can usually be set up in less than 30 minutes. - Calibration - Recalibration (automatic realignment of the tool) - Tool measurement (diameter, length)

The Cognibotics sensorless Cobot Calibration system makes calibration easy and accessible. After replacing critical parts as joints, tubes, base plate, etc it is recommended to perform a robot calibration to maintain its accuracy and repeatability.Our system makes it easy to restore the factory calibration performance as well as offers users the possibility to perform an enhanced calibration. With the enhanced calibration, you will be able to set up new or repaired robots with minimal deviation to previous individuals and by this avoiding time-consuming program adaptations.

Using a carefully developed routine, the robot calculates an accurate tool position to allow ultimate precision whilst teaching and running programs. In applications like dispensing or welding, which often require a high level of accuracy, this kit will reduce waste and improve accuracy.

Precisely measure and calibrate the tool tip in industrial applications such as dispensing and welding. Easily integrate the CAPTRON TCP 40mm Ring Sensor and URCap Software with your cobot. Minimize downtime, reduce scrap and increase production quality.

The challenge with robotic dispensing applications that require a high level of precision - the “Tool Center Point (TCP)” of the robot will change every time the syringe or tip is changed. This can result in translations that will affect the reliability and repeatability of your automated process. The TCP Calibration Station automates the recalibration process, so that an accurate TCP can be automatically redefined within seconds either from a running program or triggered manually by the operator.
