Being combined to the API Radian laser tracker, KREON Ace measuring arm extends its working volume to fit large parts


The solution will be shown for the first time at Kreon booth (Hall 3 – stand 3222) during Control exhibition, the international trade fair for quality assurance, which will be held in Stuttgart from 09th to 12th of May.

This new product now makes it possible to use a Kreon Ace arm to measure (scanning and probing measurements) large parts (range: up to 80 meters) according to a metrological accuracy.

It joins the assets of the API and Kreon Technologies: the long range and precision of the Radian API laser tracker; versatility, flexibility and accuracy of the Kreon Ace measuring arm.

The overall precision of the solution results first from the volumetric accuracy of the arm during local measurements, and then from the overall laser tracker alignement precision.

The measuring arm is placed on a tripod and moves all around the part in order to measure the whole part from several measurement stages.

The tracker follows its movements through four SMRs placed on the arm. Each position is stored and then associated to the previous ones to obtain a single coordinate system.

This new solution is well-adapted to many industries’ constraints and requirements.

Ace measuring arm’s flexibility and mobility can be further exploited, while guaranteeing a high level of accuracy.

As a result, the solution is perfectly suited to the automotive, aeronautical or energy industries, as well as large parts suppliers looking both for precision and portability.

This solution is the result of the collaboration between Kreon Technologies and API Automated Precision technical teams. It will soon be completed with new features.
