The full-size version of the AMKONaut® system is:

Software and hardware and able to realize, manless manufacturing.

OFF-LINE features ( thus in the preparation for production )

_** Only tiny programs must be produced to execute the measurements for part location and the part contours.

_** The results of these measurements are enough to create the entire CNC-programs.

_** These tiny programs can always be produced OFF-line!

_** If CAD-DATA are available, the necessary coordinates are directly utilized.

_** Transmission of these tiny programs from the office to the manufacturing site can be done by means of Intranet (TCP/IP protocols)

ON-LINE features ( thus during the manufacturing process)

_**Automatic part identification and selection of the associated measurement program.

_** Measurement of part location accomplished by means of LASERS.

_** Measurement of part contours/surfaces is done by means of LASERS.

_** Working tool contours/surfaces measurement is done by means of LASERS.

_** From the measuring results, measurement data archives are automatically created.

_** From the measuring results, fully automatic complex CNC programs are produced.

_** CNC programs guarantee absolute collision-free trajectory tool paths.

_** CNC programs compute the optimum feedforward speed, depending on the complexity of the part contour.

_** Each induvidual tool geometry is taken into consideration into the CNC trajectory path.

_** Several different tools can be used (e.g. div grinding wheels, mill tools) on one part.

_** Automatic control of tool wear is accomplished by LASER tool measurement.

_** Tool wear computation guarantees CNC-programs absolutely free of collision.

_** Automatic transmission of the CNC programs to the PC/CNC control system.

_** PC controlled release of the work process and communication with the SPS.

_** Monitoring and controlling of the entire production process including the controlling of an automatic feed of parts from buffers.
