ZEISS Industrial Metrology has opened a new facility in Wixom, MI, dedicated to the latest developments for the process chain in car body metrology and automated inspection.
"This center helps us illustrate how to make production more efficient in line, in the measuring room and in between," said Bob Wasilesky, Key Account Manager for automated inspection at Carl Zeiss Industrial Metrology, LLC. "This means production and quality can find solutions to problems anytime, from anywhere in the manufacturing facility. ZEISS also showcases solutions for robotic inspection, quality and process data mining, plus measurement planning and offline programming.
"This facility provides a one-stop shop for customers to come in and see the full range of ZEISS automated inspection solutions first hand. The design focuses on learning, with dedicated stations highlighting the interaction of ZEISS technologies in the process chain."
The ZEISS AIBox features a fully enclosed measuring cell, bringing traceable coordinate measuring technology close to production. "The ZEISS AIMax digital-optical 3-D sensor and AIMax Cloud optical 3-D sensor are the new benchmark in robot-based 3-D inline metrology for composite and sheet metal processing, welding and car body construction," said a company spokesperson. "For portable 3-D metrology, the ZEISS COMET L3D 2 and T-SCAN offer flexibility, high measuring speed and impressive performance."
Customers can see in action and learn about networking inline, atline and offline. ZEISS PiWeb software connects each station, combining measurement data from multiple systems into graphical part stories, SPC charts, quality documents and dashboards. ZEISS engineers at the new facility are available to show the benefits of these technologies and provide consulting, custom programming and specialized training.
