Guidance Automation’s technology has been leveraged by state-of-the-art driverless vehicles for indoor warehouse usage for over three decades. The company approached Solsta to help develop a next generation laser guidance system to cut costs and improve resilience. Traditionally, robots have operated on the shop floor using a rotating LiDAR system that sent out a continuous beam – searching for retroreflector target surfaces in known locations, reflecting the signal back towards its source. This approach required a shop visit by the vendor or a surveyor to install reflectors (both initially and whenever the layout was changed), and the robot also needed a second, short-range laser scanner as a safety device. Today, these machines do not need mapped reflectors as the robots can self-map the warehouse without them. Guidance Automation wanted to combine this floorplan-agnostic guidance system laser with a laser capable of detecting all natural features. This would cut costs, improve product resilience and fully futureproof the company against threats from the competition. Guidance Automation lacked the internal resources and sector knowledge to take this optical system concept to the next step, so they turned to trusted partner Solsta whose Special Projects Group developed a range finder based on a pulsed laser and an avalanche photodiode (APD). The combination of these innovations, alongside clever software to pick the signal out of background noise, gives the sensitivity needed to determine the robot’s position against both a floorplan and those moving within it. Material costs for the unit are kept highly competitive. Combined with Solsta’s DFM approach to design which allows quick and efficient assembly at their Weymouth manufacturing plant, this innovative solution has a per-unit price which is lower than competing off-the-shelf solutions with lesser capabilities.

DTEC-PRO IR flash illuminates area with targets to accelerate calibrationimage of DTEC-PRO illuminating a group of targets A combination of a circular flashlight and a camera detects reflecting targets and forwards their positions to the PRO-SOFT software - invisibly, as the flash works in the infrared spectrum. One DTEC-PRO may cover the area of several projectors and identify multiple tools or molds. Tools known to the system will be identified and then calibrated automatically. Manually targeting of each reflector will be obsolete. Depending on configuration and workflow, you may reduce the calibration time to a mere minimum: if you, for example, needed around 120 seconds to calibrate an easy to grasp tool with 6 targets, the automated calibration may take only some 6 seconds. More than 90% saved time, multiplied by number of work places, tools and/or several runs a day? The benefits should be obvious.

Our customer required a high-precision LRR that could accurately sense the returned pulse from the designator over a range of 100m to 10km. The challenge was to develop a unit that seamlessly integrated with the designator while providing accurate distance measurements based on pulse time of flight. Additionally, the LRR needed to be automatically co-aligned with the designator, ensuring accurate target acquisition and minimising setup time. In close collaboration with the customer, Solsta designed a custom LRR unit that perfectly integrated with the laser designator. The LRR utilised polished surfaces as datum points for automatic co-alignment when attached to the designator. Solsta developed a stack of three bespoke lenses and a notch filter to focus the returned pulse onto an avalanche photodiode, accurately capturing the signal while minimising background noise. Through the development of electronics and firmware in partnership with PhotonSync, the LRR effectively captured and processed the pulse chain signal, calculating the time of flight and providing precise range measurements to the designated target. Cost-Effective Outsourcing: Solsta was entrusted with the project management, design and production of the LRR, allowing them to allocate their internal design resources to the development of their core products. Solsta’s expertise in design, engineering and production, coupled with the customer's domain knowledge, resulted in a precision solution that enhanced the capabilities of their defence and security instruments.

The Solid-DP Drill 130/60 is an innovative drilling solution designed to meet the growing demands of modern manufacturing environments. Suitable for use on CNC machining centers and gantry machines, the tool offers exceptional versatility across a wide range of challenging materials, including fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP), aluminum, multi-material stacks, ceramic matrix composites (CMC), and technical ceramics. At the core of the innovation is a solid, continuous diamond-polycrystalline (DP) cutting edge combined with a specially developed faceted tip geometry. Unlike conventional DP drilling tools that are limited by segmented cutting edge designs, the Solid-DP Drill 130/60 enables significantly greater geometric freedom. This allows the cutting geometry to be optimized for superior drilling performance, improved hole quality, and enhanced process reliability. The drill’s robust design makes it highly resistant to vibrations and process disturbances, ensuring stable operation even under demanding machining conditions. Furthermore, the tool can be resharpened multiple times, typically achieving two to four resharpening cycles while maintaining high performance levels. This considerably extends tool life and contributes to a low total cost per bore. By combining advanced diamond cutting technology, outstanding versatility, process stability, and cost efficiency, the Solid-DP Drill 130/60 sets a new benchmark for drilling advanced composite and lightweight materials.

The LEUCO UniType combines upward and downward-pulling PCD cutting edges in one tool. Each cutting edge has a different face shear, allowing the tool to mill through the material smoothly and without vibration. The cutting edges are equipped with chip breakers [1], which reduce the cutting forces during milling. This ensures smooth milling and increases the edge life of the tool. Large gullets [2] allow the operator to reach high feed rates in order to achieve an economical milling process. The applications: The LEUCO UniType was designed as an all-rounder. Almost all cutting applications from grooves to dividing cuts can be realized. With the inno-vative cutting design, even complex 3D milling contours can be implemen-ted easily and without vibration. This applies equally to thick and thin composite parts.
