Robot Guidance

High Accuracy, Large Volume Robot Guidance Systems

 

Are you struggling to meet current manufacturing demands? 

Whether it’s supply demands from your clients or pressures the government is putting on the aerospace and general industries to achieve net zero, the requirement for precision, efficiency and repeatability have never been higher.

We’ve developed a metrology embedded system that guides your machine to an absolute position of +/-0.1mm, and to the true surface +/- 40 microns, for precise and repeatable robot drilling and countersinking. This high accuracy positioning is achieved by combining robotic guidance with digital twinning and machine learning technology, meaning that no manual intervention is required to produce a zero scrap and zero waste process.

The ARC Interface

At the heart of all of our systems is TPR’s robotic guidance and digital twin technology – “Adaptive Robot Control plus (ARC+)”. ARC+’s patented metrology technology incorporates machine learning which is taking into account the compliance of the robot during the process it’s performing to give you confidence that your production line is creating accurate and repeatable outputs.
