FEATURES
How It Works
Customer Benefits
Using a sensor mounted inside a drill head, Lucana Aero guides robotic systems to precisely normalize to a surface, find a hole center, find a fastener center, or measure a hole ID (inside diameter) and countersink OD (outside diameter). The sensor can also aid robotic performance for global alignment to the airframe.
DAY ONE READY •• Proven solution that works out of the box, just plug and play. NO VISION EXPERTISE REQUIRED •• Free your best engineers’ time up for use on other tasks!
THE RIGHT MODEL FOR YOUR DRILL HEAD We offer models custom fit to the drill head manufacturing equipment used by our customers.
COMPACT, SMALL FORM FACTOR •• Fits inside of a drill head (Zagar drill head or a custom solution within specification).
FEATURES & BENEFITS •• On-the-spot measurement (minimizes robotic motion errors) •• No calibration
POINT OF INGRESS MEASUREMENT AND GUIDANCE •• Measures the area where the drill bit will penetrate •• Minimizes robotic motion error
•• Sensor module ships already calibrated. •• Integrated software tools for robot/sensor/drillbit frame alignment •• Works regardless to surface contours – solid surface or surface with holes
How We Differ FULL X, Y, Z, RX, RY, AND OD
MEASUREMENTS •• Normality (Rx Ry Z)
•• Our system takes into account any off-axis misalignment in your process allowing us to fix your drilling in Rx and Ry, and eliminate typical drilling process inaccuracies.
•• Hole center (X Y Z Rx Ry)
NO CALIBRATION REQUIRED
•• Fastener centerline (X Y Z Rx Ry) •• Countersink (X Y Z Rx Ry OD at the surface)
•• Lucana Aero sensors are calibrated on site in the factory, and require no calibration to be done at your plant.
•• Countersink DZ (DeltaZ on curved surface)
NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED
COMPATIBLE MATERIALS
•• No need to spend time tinkering with vision algorithms.
•• CFRP
HIGH SENSITIVITY
•• CRRP painted
•• Update your process with our Lucana Aero sensor, and see for yourself that we have the most accurate measurement solution on the market.
•• Aluminum white •• Aluminum green •• Titanium
•• 0.0005" of accuracy. •• 0.02 Degrees of accuracy.
•• Automatic (Software auto selects the correct material)
What is Lucana Aero? ENGINEERED FOR AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS Designed and built specifically to enable robotic drilling and countersinking in aerospace and air-frame applications. PRECISION MEASUREMENT, EVERY TIME All following regardless to surface, blank, hole, countersink or fastener.
