Key Advantages

'Ultrasonic Robotic QC' drastically reduces or eliminates scrap and decreases related CO2 emissions. Such a robot cell excellently fit into Industry 4.0 automation initiatives supporting higher quality, efficiency and traceability.

Compared to manual inspection, it is like having your best quality control operators on the job and increase productivity at the same time – and make sure they never get tired. The automated adaptive process delivers more robust and flexible ultrasonic quality control, which leads to consistently better produced items. The robot takes over ergonomically burdening tasks from operators, while they can continue work near the robot.

Drastically Reduces or Eliminates Scrap

The quality control is no longer destructive. All parts are tested by a robot in a non-destructive mode.

More Reliable Inspection Results

Robust & reliable ultrasonic inspection of part series – flexibly handling geometric variations in production.

One Cell Can Inspect Multiple Car Parts

Operators easily switch to another car part by selecting the part from a computer screen.

Faster than Experienced Operator

‘Ultrasonic Robotic QC’ speeds up inspections by adaptively guiding the ultrasonic sensor.

Offering Robotic Intelligence

Based on contact forces and ultrasonic measurements, FRS adjusts the position and orientation of the ultrasonic sensor in real time. In this way, FRS offers the required robotic intelligence to continuously take valid ultrasonic measurements.

FRS Robotics has demonstrated ‘Ultrasonic Robotic QC’ on vehicle doors in premiere on the Control expo in Stuttgart.

Sensor-Guided Robotic Operations

Partner with FRS to automate skilfull tasks with robots. In this regard, the solutions of FRS typically include sensor-guided robotic operations (force, laser, etc.). The patented technology of FRS responds to tasks which have not been automated yet for technical reasons. Very precise robot positioning without the need of a calibrated environment or without the use of a 3D camera is possible.
 
FRS also offers services in the form of robotic automation studies and consultancy. At the core of the robotic services are research and technology innovations related to adaptive sensor positioning in real time.
