API Metrology
"Globally Local"
API (Automated Precision Inc) builds laser trackers, LADAR and 6DoF systems for robot calibration, dimensional measurement and inspection.
API Metrology, the brand of Automated Precision Inc (API), is a US-based developer of portable 3D coordinate metrology systems and inspection services. The company is recognized as the inventor of the laser tracker and LADAR technologies, and supplies measurement and calibration equipment including the Radian and integrated iLT laser trackers, the Dynamic 9D LADAR, XD Laser interferometer, Ballbar, SwivelCheck, vProbe, iScan scanners and portable CMM arms. For robotics, API delivers dynamic robot calibration using a laser tracker with a self-orienting motorized 360-degree Active Target (SMR), providing automatic 6DoF measurement that reveals a robot's true position and orientation in real time and enables real-time robot path correction. Its Robot Performance Measurement (RPM) procedure follows ISO 9283 guidelines to assess accuracy, repeatability, pose, distance, drift, overshoot and path across all robot joints, while its RoboCal solution measures random positions in a robot's joint space and models robot kinematics through Denavit-Hartenberg parameters. API also provides ISO 17025 accredited portable metrology inspection and calibration services such as reverse engineering, first article inspection, prototype inspection, production measurement and alignment.
Headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, the company operates a globally-local network of offices in the United States, Brazil, Germany, France, China, India, Korea and Mexico, serving aerospace, automotive, energy, heavy machinery, manufacturing, defense and machine-tool industries.
