GelSight and Flexxbotics Partner to provide solutions for robot-enabled non-destructive testing (NDT) with autonomous process control

Next generation smart factories – in aerospace, defense, medical devices, automotive and other industries where measurement accuracy is critical in tight tolerance processing – can now utilize industrial robots and collaborative robots to dramatically speed up inspection processes, increase throughput, and improve margins. GelSight’s unique technology uses 3D imaging to map surface finish and defects on any material, anywhere at the micron level. By robot-enabling GelSight’s tactile sensing devices with Flexxbotics, companies can rapidly perform hundreds of precision measurements during processing on the production line, as opposed to transporting parts to specialized lab equipment or relying on outside laboratory services.

Flexxbotics provides interoperable communication between the robots and GelSight devices coordinating the entire process and connecting directly with existing business systems in the plant including the CAD/PLM, QMS, IIoT and others for closed-loop quality compliance. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for each part is automatically fed by Flexxbotics directly into the robot and GelSight programs assuring critical characteristic measurement integrity with inspection results collected for nonconformance tracking and analysis. Optionally, data can transfer to quality repositories and MES systems of record. Flexxbotics also sends defect alerts in text and email with prior operations receiving escalations for root cause identification and processing corrections based on autonomous process control instructions from Flexxbotics.
