2. Automated measurements on processing lines
Automatically selects measurement program using signal from production line
Also allows combinations of multiple instruments, like multiple Measuring instruments + various robots + AGV, FMS
In addition to robots, conveyors and lifting devices can also be used to transport workpieces
Can be customized in various ways to achieve the desired configuration

Automatic machining and automatic inspection processes in which robots are used to connect the processing machine and a coordinate measuring machine and the workpieces are discharged by AGVs.
A fully automated measurement cell that uses a workloader to connect to the machining line and combines industrial robots and AGVs with multiple measuring machines to perform 3D coordinate measurement and surface roughness and contour measurement in parallel.

| Details of automation |
Measurement process set up on processing line, with workpieces from previous processes transported to measuring instruments with robots, to begin automatic measurements |
i. Workpieces transported on conveyors are automatically moved to washing machines with robots |
