Patent number: 11486689Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with a metrology system for high-speed, non-contact coordinate measurements of parts are disclosed herein. In embodiments, the metrology system includes a metrology bridge to be coupled to a measurement assembly. The measurement assembly may include a stage moveable across multiple independent axes. The bridge may include a housing, mounting members coupled to the housing, and a plurality of sensors mounted within the housing. The mounting members may rotatably couple the housing to the measurement assembly. Further, sensor elements of the plurality of sensor devices may be aligned along a length of the housing and may be directed out of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: DWFritz Automation, Inc.Inventors: Derek Aqui, Mark Baker, Chris Barns, Robert Batten, Shawn Boling, Jared Greco, Garrett Headrick, Clint Vandergiessen

Patent number: 10830618Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods associated with a trigger management device for managing triggering of sensors within measurement equipment are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a trigger management device may include trigger circuitry coupled to a sensor, the trigger circuitry to determine an amount of delay from trigger transmission to data capture for the sensor, and transmit a trigger to the sensor, the trigger to cause the sensor to capture sensor data. The trigger management device may further include encoder circuitry coupled to one or more encoders, the one or more encoders to indicate positions of one or more actuators or motors, the encoder circuitry to capture encoder data from the one or more encoders at a time that is the amount of delay after transmission of the trigger, wherein the encoder data indicates current positions of the one or more actuators or motors. Other embodiments may include circuitry to manage and/or transmit encoder and other data to multiple devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: DWFritz Automation, Inc.Inventors: Robert Batten, Mark Baker, Shawn Boling, John Fouts, Omar Mora, Clint Vandergiessen, Jared Greco
