Cobots consist of a collaborative 6-axis robot and an optical 3D measuring sensor, providing repeatable and traceable measurements in high resolution also in production. All Bruker Alicona Cobots are equipped with our IF-Sensor R25, while its mechanical base can be customized depending on the measuring task and the component to be measured. Cobots are used in all areas of precision manufacturing. Currently, they are most commonly used in the aerospace, tooling and automotive sector. What all designs have in common regardless of the application: Cobots are “allrounders” in quality assurance, designed for efficient and highly user- friendly measurement automation.

 Easy teach-in of up to 500 measuring positions including CAD CAM connection
 Automatic measurement of surface, GD&T features, defects and more
 High-resolution, optical and repeatable measurement of smallest geometries on large components
 No programming or metrology knowledge necessary for handling, programming and measuring of taught-in measurement series
 Modular application and positioning options, e.g. directly next to the machine tool to measure the tool as well as the workpiece directly inside the machine (measuring without unclamping)
 Optimum integration into existing production lines by means of hand-held, intuitive teach-in process, automatic evaluation and safety concept without protective housing
