Metris RCA, the revolutionary Robot CMM Arm, combines the best of two worlds by offering the automation capability of a traditional CMM and the mobility and part accessibility of an articulated arm. A rugged design, easy programming and intrinsic absolute accuracy step up 3D laser scanning productivity and flexibility of on-site inspection assignments.
AUTOMATION
Automatic part-to-CAD inspection guarantees high inspection consistency and productivity anywhere repetitive inspection is performed.
ACCESSIBILITY
The capability to access inner cavity locations of specimens, such as vehicle body shells, is a major leap forward compared to traditional CMMs and even articulated arms.
MOBILITY
Docking stations facilitate fast and repeatable installation of the RCA at different inspection locations.

DIGITAL 3D LASER SCANNER
The first release of RCA is equipped with the Metris MMD laser scanner
In order to consequently maintain optimal scanning conditions, RCA supports continuous adaptation of scanner orientation. The Robot CMM Arm runs quick, repeatable and accurate part-to-CAD inspection, increasing measurement productivity anywhere repetitive inspection is performed on series of parts or part variants.

CAMIO-DRIVEN INSPECTION PROCESS
The RCA seamlessly integrates with Metris Camio CMM software. Scanner path and orientation can be interactively defined using a handheld control panel, or directly from CAD using Camio’s off-line programming capability.
The inspection process – from scan data acquisition and feature recognition to full-featured reporting – is executed from within Metris Camio. Alternatively, process automation engineers may opt for a third-party robot programming software to define RCA motion.

PATENTED ROBOT CMM ARM CONCEPT
Metris RCA is a robotized CMM arm that introduces patented technology to accelerate repetitive 3D inspection jobs. The Robot CMM Arm interfaces a highly accurate internal 7-axis articulated arm with an external skeleton driven by electromotors. This unique concept creates a measuring robot that drives a Metris MMD laser scanner along the programmed motion path.
