NRK SolutionsNew River Kinematics (NRK) is an engineering software development firm specializing in spatial transformations and computer graphics. Since 1994, NRK has applied its flexible software tools to many engineering challenges including robotic control and simulation; coordinate metrology,engineering database management, and molecular modeling. The developers at NRK continually exceed customer expectations with fast, efficient software development and engineering expertise. |

SpatialAnalyzer OverviewSpatialAnalyzer (SA) is a traceable metrology 3D graphical software platform that can simultaneously communicate to virtually any number and type of dimensional measurement system while performing complex analysis tasks simply. |
 |
Instrument InterfacesInstrument Interfaces are separate applications responsible for connecting, configuring, controlling, and collecting all available data from the instruments. Each interface shares a common user interface making it easy for an operator to use the best metrology system for the specific task. The interface connects to the instrument and establishes a network session with SA. |
 |
Automated Manufacturing and AssemblyAn entirely new class of production operation is being forged by New River Kinematics, in which metrology equipment is used to augment the somewhat limited performance of existing flexible automation work cells. |
 |
Quality RelationshipsRelationship optimization is a new type of spatial transformation capability added to SpatialAnalyzer (SA). Relationship optimization, simultaneously, best-fit distances between objects (e.g., measured points) and known geometric shapes (e.g., points, lines, planes, and surfaces.) |
 |
Reverse Design Forward EngineeredSpatialAnalyzer's Reverse Design (SA RD) module provides a complete solution for feature extraction and analysis. By directly coupling data collection to surface creation SA's RD module delivers accurate 3D polygonal models with basic geometric shape creations. Visualize, recreate, redesign your critical components for manufacturing and production applications. |
 |
TransTrack Dynamic 6D ControlTrans-Track extends SA's metrology integration to support dynamic 6D tracking of assembly components with multiple online measurement instrument technologies. Trans-Track monitors a network of measurement systems inputs against nominal references and uses the delta to guide an assembly process or verify that a final assembly configuration meets the required tolerances. The assembly process is shown in real-time within SA's graphical environment. |
 |
Measurement Plan Engineered for Extreme MeasuresMeasurement Plan (MP) and Templates form a powerful process control and programming environment for SpatialAnalyzer users. It allows administrators and users to program or script complex operations for production use. |
 |
FREE SpatialAnalyzer VIEWERSpatialAnalyzer's Viewer allows you and your customers to open SA files to visualize and analyze your metrology jobs with SA's rich suite analysis and simulation tools. This free viewer enables you to deliver your measurement and analysis efforts and communicate with your customers with clarity. This capability enables measurement groups to share analysis results in a 3D graphical environment and therefore choose the combination of measurement technologies that best fit the measurement job. |
 |
TWS Robot Control SoftwareThe goal was to produce a package capable of controlling the robot, providing meaningful user interface, and dealing with all the complexities of scanning, calibrating, and synchronizing the robot with the UT weld inspection tool. |
 |
Optical Path Simulation and OptimizationOptical Path Simulation is a general optical path simulation package aimed at enhancing laser tracker calibration and uncertainty analysis. This package has grown from the Virtual Laser Tracker (VLT) to the more general Optical Path Simulation and Optimization Engine (OPSOE). The OPSO engine allows the user to design an arrangement of optical components and propagate multiple beams through the model. |
