Component-measurement and cartography device, has computing unit with dedicated programmable logic circuit that process position of coding device in real time, and converts and formats position into Cartesian coordinates in space

摘要

The device has a computing unit (13) transmitting data about position of a test probe (5) e.g. ultrasonic probe, between a multi-axis hinged robot (1) and a non-destructive testing device (8) and converts data about angular position of a coding device of the robot into Cartesian data. The computing unit has a dedicated programmable logic circuit e.g. field-programmable gate array, that process the position of the coding device in real time, and converts and formats the position into Cartesian coordinates in space, before transmission of the data to the testing device.
