In industrial automation, precision is the foundation of every decision. Whether in dispensing, bonding, welding or other robotic processes, the exact tool center point and reliable material level monitoring directly impact quality, cycle time and operational safety.
With CAPTRON sensor technology, BIBUS offers solutions that support both automatic TCP calibration and high-precision laser level measurement – enabling stable and reproducible manufacturing processes.

Every industrial robot operates within a coordinate system based on the functional tool center point (TCP). Even minimal deviations from the actual TCP immediately affect the process: inaccurate dispensing, misaligned weld seams, scrap parts or unexpected downtime.
CAPTRON’s laser-based TCP calibration solutions address this issue in a fully automated way. The system precisely determines the tool’s center point and detects deviations in X, Y and Z directions – without manual intervention and directly integrated into the robot program.
After selecting the appropriate laser TCP measuring unit, the robot moves along a defined path through the laser beams. By detecting beam interruptions, the system calculates the actual tool center point and compares it to reference values.
During recalibration, the robot repeats this path and the detected deviations are automatically corrected within the robot controller. The process is fast, repeatable and can be performed:
CAPTRON TCP calibration systems stand out not only for their accuracy but also for their easy integration. The compact industrial sensors can be installed in existing robot cells with minimal cabling effort.
Different designs – flat, closed or open – ensure optimal adaptation to specific applications.
Practical accessories further enhance usability:
The result: more stable processes, less scrap and reduced downtime.

For Universal Robots applications, CAPTRON Software URCap further simplifies TCP calibration. The software integrates directly into the robot controller interface and guides users step by step through the calibration process, reducing setup time and minimizing potential errors.
➡️ TCP calibration with hardware and software
In addition to TCP calibration, CAPTRON offers precise laser level measurement solutions, particularly for two-component dispensing and bonding systems. These systems ensure reliable level monitoring and are widely used by leading dispensing system manufacturers worldwide to maintain stable and repeatable processes.
If you would like to find out which CAPTRON TCP calibration or laser level measurement solution best fits your application, the expert team at BIBUS is ready to support you with selection and integration.
