Fully integrated metrological solutions are being used in the lines of an increasing number of body shops. They seek to boost the throughput of measured parts while decreasing the pace at which measurement rooms are used. By adopting inline systems, the shop floor workforce can proactively manage the production process and respond quickly to quality issues as they develop. The high-precision and absolute ZEISS inline systems provide data that may be tracked metrologically and do not require correlation.
Absolutely in line
Inline measurement systems are already used to keep an eye on the production of automobiles, but they are unable to regulate the entire product quality of the produced body parts as specified in the inspection feature plan. The measurement data captured inline must be connected with the outcomes from the measuring room in a labor-intensive process in order to be able to evaluate the quality of manufactured parts. The ZEISS absolute measuring systems provide trustworthy and decisive measurement data for series production control without the need for correlation.
ZEISS AICell trace
The ZEISS AICell trace inline measuring device ensures process control right on the assembly line, which is beneficial during production ramp-up. Bolts, edges, holes, rivets, and even the location of a welding nut beneath sheet metal can all be captured in real-time by the quick and extremely accurate ZEISS AIMax cloud 3D sensor. The ZEISS AICell system trace’s revolutionary tracking technology precisely tracks the sensor position on the robotic arm, doing away with the necessity for laborious correlation measurements in the measuring room. Users will be able to get trustworthy, traceable measurement and inspection data using this technique from the first part created during ramp-up. The system may record up to 100 features every cycle, depending on the number of robots and the cycle time. Moreover, rolling measurements and analysis measurement pause routines can also be integrated.
ATOS ScanBox
Robot-controlled ATOS sensors digitize the full body-in-white from various angles with great precision and high detail resolution after the features have been measured. The resulting absolute, correlation-free, and traceable data can then be used by users to extract inspection features that are pertinent to processes and quality for statistical assessments. With each scan, the sensors generate full-field 3D coordinates. You will thus observe a full digitization of the body-in-white, also referred to as a geometric digital twin. The GOM Inspect Pro program automatically generates the inspection feature plan from the full-field measurement data and identifies discrepancies between the digital twin and the CAD data. The research provides a clear illustration of how flush and gap-free the chassis marriage is. Before the actual assembly has taken place, users can examine how the outer shell interacts with the hang-on components in the digital assembly.
Measuring systems will provide precise and traceable measurement results inline in tomorrow’s smart factories, doing away with the need to wait for results from a measuring lab. These systems will eventually supply the information required for production control loops.
