Abstract: One example provides a laser measurement system comprising an alignment artifact attached to a global reference frame. The alignment artifact has features that define corresponding reference points. A controller is configured to obtain metadata comprising expected locations of the corresponding reference points for the features within a target view during a scan. The controller is also configured to obtain a raw point cloud of the alignment artifact within a scanner reference frame. The controller is further configured to determine scanned features from the raw point cloud, and locations of corresponding scanned reference points to form a set of scanned locations. The controller is also configured to determine a transformation matrix to transform coordinates between the scanner reference frame and the global reference frame based at least upon the set of expected locations, the set of scanned locations, and a common direction vector for a plurality of laser line scanners.

Abstract: One example provides a measurement system for a part. The measurement system comprises a part support arranged along a scan path, a measurement head, a plurality of depth sensors arranged on the measurement head, and a calibration monument arranged along the scan path. The calibration monument including a plurality of features representative of part geometry on the part. The measurement system further comprises a controller configured to obtain, from the plurality of depth sensors, depth data of the calibration monument and the part along the scan path, determine a calibration measurement for the plurality of features of the calibration monument from the depth data, and when calibration measurement meets a predetermined calibration condition, determine a part measurement for the part from the depth data.

Abstract: An end effector, coupleable to a robot, for delivering a material to a surface, comprises a material applicator assembly, comprising a central shaft and an applicator co-rotatably coupled to the central shaft and configured to apply the material to the surface. The end effector also comprises a material supply carrier, comprising a base and a supply of the material coupled to the base. The material from the supply is feedable to the applicator. The end effector further comprises an actuator that rotatably couples the material supply carrier with the material applicator assembly. The actuator is operable to rotate the material supply carrier relative to the material applicator assembly.
