Unlocking Precision in Robotics with Dynaflex: A Dynalog-US Innovation.

Precision is paramount in today's fast-paced world of automation, with industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and advanced manufacturing requiring robot systems to function with precision, in order for the process to deliver quality and consistent performance. This is where Dynatrol-US Dynaflex provides an unparalleled solution to improve robot calibration and motion control for industrial environments. 

So, what exactly is Dynaflex?

Dynaflex is sophisticated real-time calibration developed by Dynalog-US- a leader in robotic accuracy solutions. These advanced dynamic performance assessment tools were developed specifically for robot systems. Dynaflex measures the dynamic performance (how robots behave while they operate), versus static calibration tools (preset calibration baked into the robots programming) by evaluating robot compliance and flexibility in real-time. This type of dynamic assessment provides potential for accuracy to industries where tolerances must be tight and conditions demand high levels of performance reliability.

Simply put Dynaflex gives practitioners visibility and insight into how a robot responds dynamically while at work and if sufficient stress or force signatures, behaviour is exhibited. In many cases, this is no different than creating significant and costly rework..

Why is Dynaflex so Important?

When robots perform jobs such as welding, painting, and assembling, even the most minor deviation in motion can create defects or misalignment. Traditional calibration methods consider positioning, but often don't consider the dynamic changes in robot posture due to many different factors such as: gravity, speed and payload. Dynaflex effectively takes calibration to the next level by adding dynamic variables to the calibration equation.

With the Dynaflex system, manufacturers can:

Measure and minimize robot compliance (flexibility under load)

Achieve better path accuracy with complex work processes

Validate robot performance in real-world conditions

Identify mechanical anomalies before they can become major catastrophes

Maximize repeatability and process consistency

These are meaningful relationships to ensure that the robot moves correctly on paper, but that it also can perform accurately on the production floor. 

How Does Dynaflex Work?

Dynaflex implements a series of highly sensitive measurement tools and calibration routines that allow engineerings to visualize how the end effector of a robot moves while under load, or at high speed. By measuring real-time flexing, oscillation and inertia, Dynaflex creates a comprehensive map of the robot's behavior.

Once the data has been collected, the data is used to adjust the robot's motion algorithms and account for mechanical variation. 

Who is Dynaflex for?

Dynaflex is ideal for companies and industries that expect critical congruency and which themselves use robotic automation, including:

Automotive manufacturing

Aerospace and defence

Medical devices

Electronics assembly

Metal fabrication

3D printing and additive manufacturing

If your company relies on multi-robot cells, automated welding cells, or pick-and-place systems, introducing Dynaflex to your calibration operations will provide great benefit.

Up to 40% improvement in path accuracy Considerably less joint stress and less component wear Reduction of rework and scrap percentage Faster ROI from robotic systems

One aerospace customer even found that Dynaflex helped them to achieve their tolerance requirements that they previously thought could be accomplished only with standard robots or off-the-shelf robotic equipment.

Future of Robotic CalibrationAs AI, machine Learning, and Industry 4.0 technologies evolve, the need for ongoing performance validation to and compliance will become more valuable. Also, autonomous systems will validate performance more often, and human interventions will be using tools like Dynaflex to ensure safety, quality, and efficiencies.

With Dynaflex by Dynalog-US, businesses now have a scalable and future-proof calibration platform to leverage for future use and to enhance work processes while accomplishing productivity and accuracy improvements in the immediate.

Conclusion

When you invest in robots, investing in robot performance has to be a given. Properly calibrating robot performance starts with the initial calibration when it is stationary, when it is in motion, while it is under load, and evaluating at the full-speed capability.

Dynaflex by Dynalog-US is a calibration device that provides the measurement data (metrics) to give you a competitive advantage for an ever-evolving automated world.

Found my old robo-Pomni and Jax designs in the deep depths of my ibispaint canvas so I tried my hand at re-drawing them :)

if we had cyberpunk style body augmentation shit I would ship of theseus myself as performance art piece

in a transgender way of course

i love the way skarsgard is acting murderbot thus far. not just in the physical mannerisms - which are, in my opinion, spot on. mb looks like its ready to fling itself out of the window in every social interaction <3 - but also in the dialogue. the contrast between murderbot's internal monologue (cool, confident, occasionally jokey) and external dialogue (well and truly painfully awkward, stilted, just generally off) has been great thus far.

Can I say something without being murdered by an angry mob? I don't think Zane has superhuman abilities. I hate when people make him the "perfect, good at everything" ninja. You're literally stripping him of his humanity by taking away his most human trait - not being perfect. I don't think he's stupid or weak by any means, he's a nindroid, it makes sense for him to be naturally a quick learner because he's programmed to perform better than humans. But I think he's only slightly above average in terms of smarts and/or skill sets, especially pre titanium Zane. And expecting him to act 100% perfect all the time takes away a big part of his character, which is being seen as more than just a machine. He's programmed to act as human, and being human means you will never EVER instantly be good at something and you'll never be absolutely perfect in everyones eyes at something. I'm begging you guys to understand where to balance Zane in-between machine and human because for some reason despite the amount of people saying Zane is more than a talking toaster, I still see the majority acting as if him not being human means he's completely perfect and unable to make mistakes.

Okay so I'm gonna ramble more about 'The Wild Robot': spoiler alert:

Brightbill was never supposed to come this far, he's what they call a runt, the odds were stacked against him from the beginning of his life. He got raised by Roz and became the odd man out, they bullied him, no one accepted him. All that happens and he starts internalizing that hate..

But then the importance of a support system is shown, because even as Brightbill wants to quit, Roz won't let him, and not only her but Fink and Thunderbolt start supporting him too:

This is so amazing, because what Brightbill has been led to believe is a disadvantage Thunderbolt lets him know it's not, that it's even beautiful.

Not only that but he compliments Brightbills wings after making him, not letting him, but making him show his wings off, rewiring his beliefs.

Then you have the way Longneck took him under his wing among all those bullies, and all he did was be gentle with him and believing in him, and they did an amazing job in showing how important that is, making Brightbill take the lead to get all the geese out.

What made me even more emotional is that this moment Roz tells him: "Remember, there's nothing he can do that you can't". We see him repeating the same thing later on

motivating the rest the same way his momma did...

"Fly like you, not like them". You may not be able to fly like them, but you can fly like you, and it might take a little longer and a little more work, but you'll get there.

Its so beautiful to see what wonders a support system does. What a beautiful movie to all the people who grew up or are living with disadvantages that slow their progress, this gives some hope, that Endurance is a mighty force, we'll get there eventually.

sometimes the laziness takes over your body while you are at work and you forget to make an effort to interact with people and then one day you are like why do the people around me seem hesitant to speak to me. girl it is because you forgot you had to say out loud words to get that to happen

[sapphosscribe]

Chat why did I just spend an hour writing about Fiddleford in college in the 1970’s instead of working on the chapter update that still needs to be finished? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

That southern nerd is INFECTING MY MIND 😩😫

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

God forbid you're a textbook person with ASPD and NPD/traits these days.

Prosocials and Egotypicals already make your life hard because of their trauma or whatever the fuck pop psychology they decided to jump on, but other people with ASPD or NPD erasing your existence because "people with those are never like the stereotypes" or worse, saying you're an awful person too because at least they don't do so or so, makes you hate everyone equally now. As if their type of disorder is the one that's real now and always was, and yours is a fantasy that other people made to demonize certain behaviors, because yours can't exist. That's just being an asshole now.

I don't need love, understanding, acceptance or empathy, nothing emotional, I simply need people to just let me exist without adding more burdens to my already burdened life. I need my basic needs met much like you do, water, electricity, food, shelter, health, safety, things that I shouldn't need to have any emotional links to be allowed to obtain. Or rather, deserve to, since I keep seeing that word.

Your comfort doesn't mean you get to discriminate me, so let's just stick to basic contractual transactions, alright?

I cannot believe someone at Steel Wool had to tell Kellen Goff some sort of iteration of ‘yeah, we are bringing you back to voice Freddy in the DLC, but it’s only a single line that does nothing but make the Freddy beatboxing meme canon and most of the playerbase isn’t even going to pick up on it since it’s relegated to a one-time cyberspace trip event filled with distorted audio.’
