Revolutionizing Precision: How Automated Measuring Systems Are Changing

The Game In today’s high-tech manufacturing and robotic landscape, precision is no longer a bonus—it's essential. As industries have stricter tolerances, faster production times, and flawless quality control, you can push the limits with specialized automated measuring systems—precision, efficiency and reliability in ways traditional measurement cannot support—and Dynalog is leading the way. 

What are Automated Measuring Systems? 

 Automated Measuring Systems (AMS) use sophisticated technology to perform measurements automatically, without operator input. Automated Measuring Systems use a combination of sensors, robotics, software and analysis to provide measurements with extremely high accuracy, in real time. AMS can verify dimensions on a complex piece of material, check the position of the end effector on a robotic tool, or complete an entire inspection routine---and can do this quickly, at a consistent level of accuracy. For the manufacturer or production facility, AMS provide lower risk of error, faster throughput, and a better quality of product quality. It is not surprising that companies, like Dynalog, are advancing these systems for industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics and medical device manufacturing.  

The Importance of Accuracy is UndeniableIn manufacturing, 

a difference of just 0.01mm can mean the difference between a product that works perfectly and one that does not work. As parts become smaller and more complicated, the margin of error is decreasingly smaller! Manual measurement is often human error-prone, slow, and inconsistent.

That’s why Dynalog has automated measuring systems. 

Automated measuring systems take human error out of the equation and provide repeatable, consistent, real-time measuring data. With real-time feedback, manufacturers can change their processes on the spot, eliminating scrap and saving money.Dynalog: The Leaders in Robotic Accuracy and CalibrationAt Dynalog, accuracy is not just a marketing statement, accuracy is at the core of everything they do. With extensive experience in robotic measuring, calibration, and inspection systems, they build state-of-the-art solutions for the next generation of manufacturing.Automated measuring systems integrate with robotic arms and production lines, every movement and measurement is accurate and traceable. From Robot TCP Calibration to validating robot performance, Dynalog measuring systems are for manufacturers that cannot afford to be inaccurate.Key Dynalog Solutions for Automated MeasurementDynaCal® – A cutting-edge robotic calibration system providing sub-millimeter accuracy

Advantages of Automated Measurement Systems in ManufacturingLet's look at the rationale of why automated measurement is becoming the new standard in the industry:

1. Superior PrecisionAMS (Automated Measurement Systems) eliminate the subjectivity of the human eye and achieve measurements to the micron level of precision. For high-stakes industries like aerospace and medical equipment where safety is a stringent criteria, this level of precision is critical.

2. Accelerated Production Cycles Manual inspections hinder production, whereas with AMS, measurements occur in real-time—in-line or near-line—removing bottlenecks and even shortening delivery times.

3. Minimized Scrap and ReworkBy identifying deviations early in the process, manufacturers can take steps to correct defects prior to irreversible mistakes, resulting in more yield and less scrap.

4. Data-Driven DecisionsDynalog's systems not only measure, but they analyze. The real-time data can be accessed and input into process control systems to help engineers make informed data-based decisions for continuous improvement.

5. Easy Updated IntegrationToday’s AMS systems, like Dynalog's, can actually integrate with the existing robotic systems and software, creating a quick, affordable transition to your automated solution.

Full and Partial Pose Measurements in Robotic Applications- Juniper Publishers

Abstract

This paper offers a brief review of full and partial pose measurements with application in robotics. Each type is presented with its main inherent advantages and disadvantages. Typical measuring devices, their complexity, technical properties and requirements are also presented for both types of measurement. Differences and similarities are discussed as well as one technique that can be used to obtain full pose information from a set of partial pose measurement.

Keywords: Full pose measurement; Cartial pose measurement; Calibration; Trajectory tracking

Introduction

Robotics related fields are inherently dependent on various measurements. This review focuses on measurement of position and orientation of certain points in space. Information about these points of interest can be used for robot's positioning, calibration, trajectory tracking, motion capture and many other applications.

In general, position and orientation of a point or a set of points in space is determined by their coordinates in Cartesian space. Usually, full information can be obtained from three coordinates describing position of a point, and three more coordinates describing its orientation [1]. Measurements that provide both position and orientation information, are called full pose measurements.

However, for some applications, it is sufficient to measure only position of a point, which means it can be described using only three position coordinates. Since this type of measurement does not  contain any information about orientation, it is usually referred to as partial pose measurement.

This paper will describe advantages and disadvantages of both types of pose measurements. Second and third sections respectively present full and partial pose measurements, their typical fields of application, devices used to perform them, as well as some typical examples. Fourth section offers a brief discussion about both types of measurements and explains a method to obtain full pose information from partial pose measurements.

Full Pose Measurements

Measurements that provide both coordinates determining position as well as those determining orientation of a point or sets of points are called full pose measurements. Therefore, full pose measurements are used in all applications where it is needed to know distance to an object, as well as its posture. These applications include assembly, welding, milling, and various other tasks that require posture control. Robot calibration, calibration of its workspace and other equipment in its working environment are also some of the applications where full pose measurements are used, since most calibration procedures require information about position and orientation of points of interest.

Coordinates are predominantly given in Cartesian space, and in that case positions are offsets of point from the origin of coordinate system along its x, y and z axis directions. Rotations around x, y and z axes are called yaw, pitch and roll, respectively, and are commonly referred to as the Euler angles. Using Euler angles, any orientation can be achieved using three elemental rotations i.e. rotations about the axes of a coordinate system. Depending on whether these rotations are performed about axes of original, stationary coordinate system, or about rotating coordinate system which is coupled with moving object, these rotations are called extrinsic or intrinsic. Regardless of whether the rotations are extrinsic or intrinsic, in order to properly interpret these angles, it is necessary to know which order of rotations was used. There is a total of twelve possible different sequences of rotation. Proper or classic Euler angles are for sequences while there are also angles for sequences which are sometimes referred to as Tait-Bryan angles.

Devices that provide full pose measurements usually do so by following multiple points attached on a frame or a jig resembling Cartesian coordinate frame. One point is placed in the origin of that frame, and three more on each axis of the coordinate system. By measuring positions of points on the frame, and knowing their location, the orientation of the frame can be calculated. There are other types of frames, like the one shown on Figure 1, which use known position of points to calculate orientation [2,3]. Therefore, full pose measurement is actually formed from a set of partial pose measurements. However, since outcome of measurements of these points is a single six coordinate vector, rather than set of individual positions, they can be considered to be a single measurement. The described measuring frame can be attached to an object whose coordinates need to be measured. Devices that provide full pose measurements can be roughly divided into two main types.

First type consists of devices that need to establish a physical contact with their probe, or other sensing element, with the object in order t perform measurement. One of typical representatives is the CMM- Coordinate Measuring Machine, shown on Figure 2. CMMs are precisely machined devices that can move in a cuboidal space, along three mutually orthogonal axis. Precision of CMMs is usually measured in micrometres, which is their main asset. Measuring arms are one more representative of contact based measuring devices. These articulated devices can be powered, or manually guided. While they tend to be very flexible and easy to use, their accuracy is significantly lower than those of CMMs', and it depends onarm's proper calibration and resolution of sensors it uses. Using a precisely made jig and ballbars, shown on Figure 3, it is possible to perform highly accurate full pose measurements [4]. However, this method is highly restrictive in terms of measuring volume.

Second type of full pose measuring devices is contactless, as they do not require physical contact with measured object. These devices typically use laser, light or ultrasonic beams, which track certain points on a frame attached onto the measured object. By using concepts of trilateration or triangulation, devices can precisely determine position of each tracked point, and by using information from a set of points on a frame, as shown on Figure 1, they can provide also the orientation [2,3]. Compared to contact based measuring devices, contactless measuring devices generally have lower accuracy, which mainly depends on the measuring volume and technology they use. Main advantage of the contactless type of devices is that they can perform measurements while the observed object is moving, meaning they can be used for trajectory tracking, motion capture and similar applications.

One of the devices that use these principles are theodolites, and they have an extraordinary ratio of measuring volume and accuracy. Ultrasonic solutions, such as Nexonar's [5] cannot reach the accuracy of theodolite, but their volume, shown on Figure 4, can be increased by receiving measurements from several devices combining them in the processing unit. This makes them an interesting and affordable solution for applications with lower accuracy requirements. Creaform is another brand that offers contactless measuring solutions for various fields of application, such as quality inspection, 3D scanning, dynamic tracking etc. 3D scanning device attached to a robot mounted CMM is shown on Figure 5 [6]. Their solutions use optical C-tracker devices based on stereo cameras to acquire position of points mounted onto frames, measuring probes, and scanners.

Partial Pose Measurements

Partial pose measurements provide position information of a point in space. For a great number of applications, partial pose measurements are sufficient and even desirable. Main advantages of this type of measurements, is that they are less complex to obtain and require cheaper equipment. Since cost is an ever relevant factor both in research and industry and production in general, partial pose measuring devices always have a competitive advantage over full pose measurement devices.

Although at first glance partial pose measurements may seem incomplete, it is important to understand that most applications in field of robotics suffice with them. Due to their availability, a number of papers have been published [2-4,7,8], where partial pose measurements were used. Besides calibration, robot's positioning, trajectory tracking, TCP parameter identification all can be achieved using only position information.

Similar to full pose measuring devices, partial pose measuring devices can be divided into those who require physical contact with the object, and those who not. Coordinate measuring machines can also be used for partial pose measurements. Since they do not require complex mechanical construction for measuring orientation, they cost significantly less than their full pose counterparts.

As mentioned before, many of devices that provide orientation information do so by performing multiple partial pose measurements. Therefore, in many ways they should be considered as partial pose measurement devices. Various ultrasonic, laser-interferometry and stereo optics based devices output position measurements if they track only a single point.

Discussion

The intention of this article was to offer a short overview of advantages and disadvantages of various methods for full and partial pose measurements in fields related to robotics. Depending on the field of use, both types of pose measuring can find their application.

Full pose measurements are necessary for the more complex tasks which require orientation measurement, such as calibration, assembly, motion capture etc. Due to challenges posed by orientation measurement, they require either more complex construction of devices, or more complex algorithms for processing obtained data.

Although partial pose measurements provide only position information, orientation information can be obtained by combining multiple measurements. An interesting, yet simple, method was proposed in [7] and with some modifications successfully used in [8]. The method is primarily applicable in field of robotic calibration. The idea is to attach a point onto a joint of a robot, in a position that is not located on the axis of the rotation of the joint. When joint is rotated, the point moves in a circular path, enabling formation of a coordinate system, and therefore full pose measurement. In [7], line connecting center of the circle with current point position is declared to be x axis, current point position represents the origin of a coordinate system, vector parallel with axis of the rotation is considered to be z axis, and finally, y axis is chosen in a way that it forms a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. In presented way, it is possible to perform full pose measurements of robot's end effectors by measuring only position of a single point located on it.

The common conclusion is that for both types of measurement, higher precision is achieved by using devices that require contact with the measured object. Contactless methods offer greater measuring volume and enable applications requiring tracking and dynamic measurement. Although their accuracy may vary, it is safe to conclude that newer generations of contactless measuring devices offer significant improvements in both measuring volume and accuracy.

TCP Calibration: Evaluating Robotic Accuracy with Dynalog Inc.

Over the globe and in the whole industrial sector, robots are programmed to perform the same tasks over and over but without workloads with the utmost precision. Though these robots are programmed perfectly, they are taught to perform well even in the advanced robotic systems they require calibration from time to time so that they maintain their precision. Tool Center Point- TCP Calibration.

Dynalog Inc. on TCP Calibration is all about creating maximum efficiency with robotic systems so that industrial infrastructure can make the most use of these machines at optimal accuracy, efficiency, and performance. So, whether in automotive manufacturing or aerospace or electronics applications, all companies that utilize robotics need to pay attention to exact TCP Calibration for quality and consistency.

What is TCP Calibration? 

The precise establishment of the true position of a tool in relation to a robot base is called TCP Calibration (Tool Center Point Calibration). From welding torch to a gripper to painter, and to a drilling tool, all are included under the tool. If the TCP of the tool is not in the line, then it will lead to inaccurate results from a robot, and hence, it will result in unwanted quality problems due to wasting material and the expensive downtime of production.

Why is TCP Calibration Needed?

Accuracy and Precision: It has to place the tools at particular points to perform the tasks, at the time of welding, cutting, painting, and material handling-all with minimum deviation.

Tool Center Point (TCP) Calibration: Why It’s Crucial for Robotic Accuracy

In the world of industrial robotics, precision and accuracy are paramount. Whether in automotive manufacturing, electronics assembly, or aerospace engineering, the ability of a robot to accurately position and manipulate tools directly impacts production quality, efficiency, and overall operational success. One of the most critical processes for ensuring this level of precision is Tool Center Point (TCP) Calibration. For companies that rely on robotic automation, Dynalog Inc. offers industry-leading solutions for TCP calibration, helping businesses achieve optimal robot performance.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the importance of TCP calibration, how it works, and why partnering with Dynalog Inc. for TCP calibration solutions can significantly enhance your robotic operations.

What Is Tool Center Point (TCP) Calibration?

Tool Center Point (TCP) Calibration refers to the process of identifying the exact position of a robot's tool in relation to its coordinate system. In simple terms, the TCP is the point at which a robot’s tool (such as a gripper, welding tip, or spray nozzle) makes contact with a workpiece or performs a specific action.

For a robot to execute its tasks accurately, it must "know" the exact location of the TCP in 3D space. If the TCP is not properly calibrated, even minor deviations can result in:

Inaccurate positioning

Poor product quality

Increased cycle times

Tool wear and damage

Reduced overall efficiency

TCP calibration ensures that the robot’s internal coordinate system aligns perfectly with the physical position of the tool, allowing for highly precise and repeatable movements.

Why TCP Calibration Is Essential for Robotic Operations

1. Improved Accuracy and Repeatability

Robots are designed to repeat complex movements with high precision. However, if the TCP is not accurately defined, even small discrepancies can lead to misalignment and inconsistent results. Proper TCP calibration helps ensure that the robot performs each task with consistent accuracy, reducing the margin of error and improving production quality.

2. Enhanced Process Efficiency

When the TCP is correctly calibrated, robots require fewer corrections and adjustments during operation. This leads to faster cycle times, reduced downtime, and overall higher operational efficiency. A robot that knows exactly where its tool is positioned will perform faster and more accurately, improving the output rate.

3. Reduced Tool Wear and Maintenance Costs

Incorrect TCP calibration can cause excessive tool wear, as the robot may apply incorrect forces or angles during operation. Over time, this can lead to premature tool failure and increased maintenance costs. Proper calibration ensures that the robot applies the right amount of pressure and movement, extending the lifespan of tools and reducing maintenance expenses.

4. Increased Product Quality

Precision is crucial in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics manufacturing, where even minor deviations can compromise product integrity. Accurate TCP calibration allows the robot to execute detailed movements with minimal variation, ensuring that every product meets strict quality standards.

How TCP Calibration Works

TCP calibration involves defining the exact position and orientation of the tool relative to the robot's base coordinate system. The process typically includes the following steps:

1. Initial Tool Setup

The robot is equipped with the desired tool, such as a gripper, welding torch, or sensor. The tool must be securely attached to prevent any movement during calibration.

2. Measurement of Tool Position

A calibration device, such as a laser tracker or a measurement probe, is used to measure the tool’s position in multiple orientations. The robot will move the tool through various predefined positions, and the calibration device records the precise coordinates.

3. Data Processing and Calculation

The recorded data is processed using specialized software (such as Dynalog's DynaCal), which calculates the exact position and orientation of the tool. This involves solving complex kinematic equations to define the TCP’s coordinates.

4. Updating the Robot’s Control System

Once the TCP coordinates are determined, the data is uploaded to the robot’s control system. The robot then uses this information to adjust its internal programming, ensuring that the TCP aligns with the robot’s coordinate system.

5. Validation and Testing

After the calibration process, the robot is tested to confirm that the TCP is correctly aligned. This may involve executing sample tasks or conducting accuracy tests to verify that the robot’s movements match the programmed positions.

Challenges in TCP Calibration and How Dynalog Solves Them

1. Complex Tool Shapes and Configurations

Calibrating a simple gripper is relatively straightforward, but complex tools with multiple contact points or irregular shapes present greater challenges. Dynalog’s advanced calibration solutions can handle even the most complex tool geometries, ensuring accurate results regardless of tool design.

2. Thermal Expansion and Tool Wear

Tools can shift or expand due to heat and wear over time, causing deviations in the TCP. Dynalog’s calibration systems are designed to compensate for these variations, maintaining accuracy even under challenging operating conditions.

3. High-Speed Operations

In high-speed manufacturing environments, even millisecond-level inaccuracies can affect product quality. Dynalog’s TCP calibration systems provide real-time adjustments, ensuring that the robot maintains precision at high speeds.
