Abstract

PLX's Orthogonal Laser Metrology Module (O-LAMM) integrates core Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T) [1] and precision Beam Steering Technology [2], creating a compact and robust 3D laser-scanning system for in situ metrology. The O-LAMM generates a laser line directed into a scanning mirror system, scanning multiple targets at high speeds of 100 Hz using retro-reflective cooperative markers on robotic end-effectors. The system captures X and Y locations upon laser-retroreflector interaction, and through triangulation with a second O-LAMM unit at a known distance, it enables Z location determination. By networking multiple O-LAMMs, blind spots within a target volume are minimized, providing a full specification 6-DOF high-precision position measuring device. This innovative solution is an essential component for adaptive manufacturing and Industry 4.0 applications, maintaining arc second accuracy through the integration of multiple systems while offering speed and flexibility across a wide range of measurement-related tasks in production lines. The O-LAMM system is well-suited for testing, inspection, positioning, deformation analysis, and tracking applications, delivering unmatched high -speed geometric data collection and Intelligent Manufacturing System (IMS) applications.
