At AUTOMATICA fair 2010 Teconsult will present a further new product: With ROSY pocket we have developed a small, light, and well-priced measurement tool for robot cell measurement. With ROSY pocket e.g. tool, base, and external axes can be determined fast and exactly in order to simplify and shorten start-up.

After two year of research, our development department could explain the phenomenon of single, disappeared and interchanged socks (single socks problem). In a further step appropriate counter measures were identified:
1. Throw away all your socks
2. Buy 20 IDENTICAL pair of socks
3. Repeat this procedure every year
You will be astonished how much easier and happier your life will be. You do not even have to sort your socks in pairs any longer.
Teconsult - we solve problems!

The opening ceremony for the Heidelberg Ion-Beam Therapy Center HIT was held in early November and on November 15th the treatment of the first patient was commenced. Dr. Lukas Beyer from Teconsult Precision Robotics was significantly involved in the development of robot accuracy. We are glad to have played an active role in such visionary project.

ROSY light is a small and simple tool which helps you to measure your IR quickly with its working tool mounted. Using the robot as a measurement system enables ROSY to take the robot errors into account while calculating the coordinates, thus enhancing the implementation of off-line generated programs. Additionally ROSY light can be used for tool measurement and check of your TCP data after crash or after manufacturing a new tool.

In spite of the economic crisis, at Hanover Fair 2009 there were many enquiries coming from all branches. In medical applications, in car body manufacturing or with off-line programming the demand to increase robot accuracy and process security with ROSY is increasing steadily. Many visitors took advantage of the opportunity to discuss their specific requirements personally and to convince themselves of the variable application possibilities of ROSY.

ROSY RefTool is a small and easy to handle reference tool for tool measurement and control of your TCP data after crash or after construction of a new tool. With the exact known and measured TCP of the ROSY Ref-Tool you just have to move towards a reference point and you have correct tool data in a couple of minutes.
With ROSY RefTool we stick to our philosophy to offer solutions and products in high quality and to combine simplicity with sense.

At AUTOMATICA 2008 the presentation of ROSY in version 3.0 was a great success. In comparison with the fair in 2006, the number of qualified visitors did even increase! Many robot users and system integrators took the chance to discuss possible problems regarding the reachable accuracy of pose as well as exchangability and implementing robot cells at their customers, and informed themselves about the multifunctionality of ROSY.


04.06.2008

Denso Robotics, part of the DENSO group, decided to co-operate with Teconsult Precision Robotics after intensive tests, in order to increase and assure the yet high accuracy of pose of their robots. Thus Denso is the first robot manufacturer in Europe with a portable, flexible and highly accurate calibration system which avoids long down-time regarding exchange and service and improves process security for their customers.






26.01.2008

The presentation of ROSY in version 3.0 at NORTEC fair 2008 was a complete success.   The fair newspaper published an article on page 2, and many robot users took advantage of the opportunity to see and discuss the possibilities and application areas of ROSY and industrial image processing.

The medical robots for particle therapy calibrated very accurately with Teconsult`s help  (s.b.) have been handed over to the customer and are runnig tests in HIT (Heidelberg Ion Therapy). The new method for tumor treatment has been presented in the media in many cases (Bild, BamS, ARD-Christiansen).
 
08.03.2007

At Mitsubishi Elecric in Nagoya, Japan, some robot calibrations were executed using different loads. Results up to 0.1 mm could be achieved, starting from 0.7 mm, which means over 80% improvement.





26.01.2007

Within a co-operation with Siemens different technologies for accuracy improvement could be implemented in a new method for cancer treatment with ion beams. The patient and an x-ray device are positioned with robots during this therapy (simulation with EasyRob).

 



12.09.2006

The design of the ROSY measurement tools was made more attractive in the current versions - nicer calibrating with ROSY!






22.05.2006

AUTOMATICA 2006 in Munich was a stunning success - visitors from Europe, Japan, USA and India were amazed about the live demonstrated robot accuracy of 0.3 mm. Many thanks to Mr. Haenel from Mitsubishi Electric and Mr. Anton from Easy-Rob!




 
28.04.2006

The new version of our calibration system ROSY comes along with a simplified output of the correction values as well as an improved reporting function - and still saves time and money in robot aided manufacturing!
 
14.02.2006

After attending the congress "forum robotic" in Bremen last year, we decided to demonstrate ROSY live this time. Thanks to Mitsubishi Electric we could show the calibration of a MELFA RV-3SB robot.
 
30.01.2006

Within the special display "Robots in Manufacturing" Teconsult took part in NORTEC fair in Hamburg for the first time.





 
23.11.2005
