It is anticipated that the Aicon 3D Arena tracking system available from Measurement Solutions will better facilitate vehicle designers' work in the future. The system enables designers to determine the absolute position of machines in working space, including mobile milling machines and measuring devices such as white light scanners.
The system works using up to 15 MoveInspect cameras mounted on a frame above the working space, covering a measuring field of around 6 x 9 m. The camera system captures the position of a mobile milling machine, a white light scanner or another tool or instrument and determines its position continuously in working space in reference to the vehicle model. If the machine is put aside and brought back after a break, the tracking system recognises it and sets up the processing program according to the co-ordinates. The machine can continue working immediately.
