Unlike other metrology solutions, IONA can capture accurate data in a robot cell while manufacturing operations are being performed. It is uniquely robust against environmental instability and uses multiple sensors to avoid line-of-sight restrictions. These features were attractive to Pentaxia Limited who wished to build a deeper understanding of their robot performance when machining tooling block and other materials. ✅Installation and use were successful and straightforward ✅The presence of the system did not affect other operations in the cell ✅IONA tracked the robot with no line-of-sight issues ✅The system was able to track continuously 24/7 throughout the volume ✅0.2mm accuracy was achieved throughout the working volume Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eF_bCAKX #compositetooling #composites #robotguidance #metrologyguidance #cncmachining

Automation & robotics is the FUTURE of machining in America. I wrote up some thoughts on the topic, check it out!

Tired of blind spots in your machine tool performance? 🤔 GMN USA's IDEA-4S system leverages cutting-edge IO-Link technology to transform your industrial spindles and motors into a fast data-diagnostics powerhouse. IDEA-4S measures and analyzes critical data like temperature, speed, and vibration using 5 analog inputs, 1 analog input for a NAMUR speed sensor, 3 digital inputs, and an internal 3-axis vibration sensor. All this data is recorded, evaluated, and accessible via an IO-Link interface. Plus, IDEA-4S includes a digital nameplate to identify each spindle and store vital information like machine number and installation date. With detailed statistical analysis, alarm and fault statuses, and operating time tracking, IDEA-4S provides unparalleled spindle monitoring. Even better, the system can analyze spindle fingerprints and monitor process conditions. It’s an engineer’s dream come true! Transform your spindle management with IDEA-4S.
