An intuitive, flexible and scalable software solution for robotic inspection cells
HxGN Robotic Automation makes automated measurement more accessible, efficient, and reliable. The software allows manufacturers to orchestrate and inspect cell's sensors, software, and robotic equipment from a single, intuitive interface.It is also compatible with major robot suppliers.
Benefits And Features
Intuitive workflows, UX principles and automated program generation
Machine modeling
Advanced modeling tools enable you to accurately model any machine or kinematic device from scratch, or simply drag and drop from the library for fast, precise offline programming.
Cell modeling and layout
Measurement cell layouts are easily designed and validated with drag and drop from the library, making virtual commissioning of the cell a reality.
Automatic robot path generation
Robot programming has never been easier; advanced algorithms in HxGN Robotic Automation enable automatic robot path generation based on inspection plans or part volume and area of interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Robots have a direct Interface with HxGN Robotic Automation?
HxGN Robotic Automation interfaces directly with FANUC robots using R-30ia controllers and KUKA robots using KR C4 controllers.
Which Scanners have a direct Interface with HxGN Robotic Automation? Is it possible to control the scanner settings which can change depending on the features to be measured directly from HxGN Robotic Automation?
HxGN Robotic Automation supports the Leica T-SCAN and HxGN AS1 Scanners, and more sensors will be integrated in future versions. HxGN Robotic Automation controls the scanner settings, which can be adjusted in HxGN Robotic Automation based on the feature type and scanning strategy.
Which Metrology SW has direct Interface with HxGN Robotic Automation?
HxGN Robotic Automation interfaces directly with HxGN PC-DMIS and Inspire Metrology SW and with InnovMetric PolyWorks 3rd party Metrology SW.
Is Automatic path planning based on CAD features supported? Are there any strategies that can be used to scan various types of features, such as flanged holes and slots, and so on?
Yes, HxGN Robotic Automation supports path planning based on features and on CAD entities such as surfaces and edge lines. Users can define in HxGN Robotic Automation different presets or Scan Strategies for the different features to be measured.
What is Robot Simulation in HxGN Robotic Automation good for?
HxGN Robotic Automation simulates the robot path generated for path inspection, taking into consideration the robot volume, collisions, tool/scanner occlusion, tracker line of sight, and sensor data simulation to deliver a realistic simulation of the entire part inspection process that can be validated offline, even before building the actual cell.
