The PAM-System is a portable scanning, measurement and inspection solution that uses cobots (collaborative robots) to augment repetitive user routines while adding flexibility, dexterity and accuracy. Integrated Verisurf model-based software supplies automated inspection planning, analysis and reporting.
IBS Quality GmbH recently introduced the PAM-System (Portable Automated Measurement System), a portable cobot-based 3D scanning and measurement solution. The launch is in collaboration with Verisurf Software, Inc., and its integrated 3D measurement software for automated quality inspection, reporting, scanning and reverse engineering.
The PAM-System is a portable scanning, measurement and inspection solution that uses cobots (collaborative robots) to augment repetitive user routines while adding flexibility, dexterity and accuracy. All hardware (including fixtures for sensor attachments to the robot), software, installation, service and support are included with the comprehensive system. The entire solution is self-contained on a specially designed inspection cart that can be easily rolled from the quality lab to the shop floor. The PAM-System can be used for first article inspection, volume production inspection, reverse engineering and prototyping.
"We have designed the robotic, scanning, measurement and inspection automation technologies into a single mobile solution; one that meets the practical needs of job shops and OEM manufacturers adapting to the realities of Industry 4.0," said Philipp Schmid, IBS Quality GmbH.
The PAM-System includes robotics automation from 11 Dynamics, 3D measurement, inspection and reporting integration with Verisurf Software, and a choice of leading 3D laser scanner brands or other scanner technologies.
The integrated Verisurf 3D Scanning and Inspection application is built on a CAD platform and is rooted in Model-Based Definition (MBD). Inspection plans are easily created by importing any CAD model, using drawings, a golden part or key features. Inspection plans can be used across the manufacturing enterprise on any CMM, providing repeatable process control. "The Verisurf workflow enhances productivity and enables repeatable process control, which is a key tenant of QA; the automated PAM-System supports both," said Nick Merrell, Executive Vice President of Verisurf.
