Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, North Kingstown, RI, launched its latest system software release and a new Ethernet Real Time Feature Pack (RTFP) for the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960 and AT930. The software offers 7DOF measurement capability for applications such as laser tracker-based machine control and robotic guidance. This technology adds a time dimension to the measurement data acquired by the laser tracker, made possible by interfacing its LMF communications with the new industrial EtherCAT protocol. It enables real-time machine control for milling, drilling, grinding, polishing, and other processes in a large-scale manufacturing environment.
