Fork Light Laser Sensors
As production volumes and speeds continue to rise, the expectation is that mechanical processes will minimize errors. CAPTRON Fork Light Laser Sensors help meet this demand with a precise laser beam transmitted between two arms—one acting as the transmitter and the other as the receiver. These sensors can instantly detect errors, count, account for web tensioning control and more.

How to Maintain Robot Accuracy with Automated Tool Center Point Measurement
Tool wear, maintenance activities, environmental conditions, and tool changes can all affect the accuracy of a robot's movements. Even small deviations can lead to quality issues, increased scrap rates, and costly downtime.

How to Set Up TCP Calibration on a Universal Robot: Step-by-Step Guide
Accurate robot motion begins with an accurate Tool Center Point (TCP). Once a TCP has been established, every programmed robot movement is calculated relative to that point. If the TCP is configured incorrectly, positioning errors can affect product quality, increase scrap, and create unnecessary troubleshooting during production.

Automating TCP Calibration with Universal Robots: How URCap Software Improves Accuracy and Uptime
While many manufacturers establish a TCP during initial robot commissioning, maintaining that accuracy over time is often the greater challenge. Tool wear, collisions, thermal expansion, and routine maintenance can gradually shift the TCP without operators noticing.
