Leica Automation Workshop

Motion-Lab participated on November 17, 2016 in the workshop organized by Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, a leading metrology and manufacturing solution specialist. The workshop was hosted by SINTEF Raufoss Manufacturing at Raufoss Industripark, and featured the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960. It was a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience with the laser tracker that offers a complete solution for six degrees of freedom (6DoF) probing, scanning and automated inspection as well as reflector measurements. The main focus of the workshop was probing and scanning in automation manufacturing, however, the Hexagon staff also shared information about other applications and presented case studies from different industries.

The Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 will be installed in the Motion-Lab in December 2016 as part of the National Financing Initiative for Research Infrastructure (INFRASTRUKTUR) project funded by the Research Council of Norway (project no. 245717).
