Weld seam tracking at lower cost

Meta Vision Systems has launched Smart Laser Pilot, a new welding seam tracking system for robots that sets a price-performance point that, claims the company, was previously unattainable in the market.

The distinctive capability of the Smart Laser Sensor (SLS), on which the system is based, namely integrating high performance image processing functionality within the sensor head itself, makes it possible to simplify the overall architecture while simultaneously enhancing robot interface flexibility. All image processing is done in the sensor head itself and a tracking accuracy of ±0.1 mm is possible in both the horizontal and vertical planes with a field of view of 50 mm.
