Abstract
The invention relates to a robot-controlled recording device comprising a robot with a number of axes of movement which are able to be controlled via a robot controller for moving a robotic hand and a recording system fitted to the robotic hand which is able to be moved by the robot for recording data of an object supported on a support unit. The robot controller is connected to an additional drive and controls this for moving the robotic hand synchronized to the axes of movement such that the additional drive would create a relative rotation and/or translation movement between the recording system and the support unit created by the movement of the robotic hand solely by a movement of the support unit with a stationary robotic hand. The drive is however connected not to the support unit but to an encoder for creating a synchronization signal for the recording.
