In today’s world of flexible automation, end-users and intermediaries around the globe must be able to rely on the performance of their robots when executing various programs and applications. To this end, Dynalog has developed the CompuGauge Robot Measurement and Performance Analysis System, providing robot manufacturers and their customers with a tool to measure, display, and analyze both the static and dynamic performance of their robots. While maintaining the portability and affordability required by current development processes, the CompuGauge system achieves remarkable positional accuracy.
Dynalog’s CompuGauge system includes: (1) hardware necessary for acquiring measurement data (static points and complete paths), and (2) software required to record, display, and analyze the acquired measurement data.

Measurement Hardware
When the CompuGauge system is fully compatible with various general 3D or 6DOF measurement devices, it generates its own standard measurement hardware. The standard CompuGauge hardware is based on the simplicity of point measurement technology, along with numerous improvements in electronics and mechanics. High-resolution, low-inertia optical encoders are used to frequently measure the extension of the measurement cables; low-mass cables operate with less tension than a dial indicator; a unique measurement attachment mounted on the robot flange allows the robot to move with six degrees of freedom while measuring the X, Y, Z positions with high precision. This high accuracy is based on the redundant information provided by the extension of four calibrated cables.
Due to its inherently simple design, the standard CompuGauge measurement hardware can be easily set up and be operational within minutes. Additionally, the system does not require the use of a dedicated, standalone, bulky controller. Instead, a compact acquisition unit allows the measurement hardware to connect directly to a standard PC or laptop via the latest USB interface technology. Several digital inputs and outputs are also enabled through the data acquisition device, keeping the acquired measurement data synchronized with any external signals and inputs, for example, spot welding guns or sealant devices.
Measurement, Observation, and Analysis Software
The Windows™-based software running the CompuGauge system includes three different modules. They can be used simultaneously or individually.
Online Measurement. This module allows the operator to manually or mechanically record the robot’s 6DOF static and dynamic positions (x, y, z, and any valid orientation).
Offline Observation. This module has the ability to visualize and examine the recorded robot positions and paths in various ways.
Analysis. This module contains a series of tests that can verify accuracy, repeatability, turning, and warm-up drift based on the recorded data. These tests include two internationally recognized standards: ISO 9283 and ANSI/RIA R15.05-1/2.
The CompuGauge software also provides various tools and functions: the coordinate framework of the CompuGauge system can be easily aligned with the robot base structure. Measured robot paths and points can be zoomed in and out, fully rotated, and transformed into 3D space. Visualization is provided from any angle; curve plotting and data fitting tools are available; the mouse pointer can be placed along different paths to quickly determine discrepancies in time and space.
