benefits of a ROBOTIC SYSTEM
Robotic articulating arms are prevalent in today's industry and used in a multitude of capacities from manufacturing to automotive to agriculture. They are fast, reliable and accurate, and can be programmed to perform an infinite number of tasks. As this technology continues to evolve, so does the number of robotic applications.
Due to its precise positioning capability and flexible motion, a single robotic arm can provide the same capability as traditional antenna positioning stack ups. Unlike traditional positioning systems, the robot's high degrees of freedom in motion allow it to easily and efficiently accommodate a variety of different measurement configurations. The limited amount of mechanical engineering required for these out-of-the-box systems lead to reduced risk and faster delivery times.
In additon, NPM Robotic Measurement System solutions provide an ecomonical and efficient upgrade path that allows your system to effectively grow to meet future measurement needs.
