360° Smart Inline Measurement Solutions

Hexagon Metrology has launched (360° SIMS), a new family of measurement products that can be fully integrated into automotive production lines to serve manufacturers during launch, ramp-up and ongoing production. They enable full surface inspection and critical features measurement of up to 100% of the produced car bodies, parts and sub-assemblies within production cycle time.

360° SIMS installations are adapted to their respective environment and target industry applications. Installations typically include white light area measurement sensors from Hexagon Metrology and point cloud-based software tools. Using a touch-screen interface, operators with basic training can supervise the measurement process, visualize results and identify root cause for quality concerns.

360° SIMS are compatible with commonly used industrial robots, PLCs, automation devices and safety equipment. Cell configurations will include in-line, near-the-line and offline options to support a variety of customer applications throughout stamping, body shop and final assembly sub-plants. Other options include an alignment and measuring device for large objects, software tools for large data set visualization and analysis and fixed optical sensors for complementing measurement tasks. The 360° SIMS cells can be positioned anywhere along production lines and production bays to support a customer's dimensional control strategies.
