INDUSTRIES / ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION

Know the history of every joint.

Connect actuator tests, calibration results, and final assembly checks. Follow a failure from the robot back to the component and the test that measured it.

Testing challenges

01

Linked component histories.

Follow each actuator, encoder and board inside the finished robot.

02

Calibration with context.

Keep offsets, limits and test versions with the original reading.

03

A focused failure review.

Compare the joint’s measurements across stations, batches and retests.

WORKFLOW EXAMPLE

From encoder calibration to an assembled arm.

An example workflow for a robotics team, using linked units, measurement limits, and a failure notification.

Each component keeps its test history inside the assembly.
  1. Test the actuator

    Record current, travel, and encoder offset against the actuator serial.

  2. Link the assembly

    Attach the actuator and control board as sub-units of the arm.

  3. Run the final check

    Keep the final motion-test result with the assembly and its test version.

ALERT & NEXT STEP · EXAMPLE

Encoder offset is outside the allowed range.

Notify the test team with the run link. Compare the actuator’s calibration and retest before returning the arm to the line.
