To maintain quality and support its role as a trusted Tier-1 supplier to the Hyundai Motor Group, Ajin Industrial needed a faster and more repeatable measurement method.

Hexagon’s metrology technologies enable Oracle Red Bull Racing and Red Bull Ford Powertrains to achieve extreme precision in a remodelled chassis with new aerodynamics and highly ambitious new 1.6 litre powertrain.

Human based quality inspection is essential at every stage of aircraft wing manufactureand and involves critical measurement and testing to ensure every single component is within specification and is assembled correctly.

Standing in a universal workstation, two articulated industrial robots outfitted with white light optical scanners move closely over the entire surface of the high-precision part — in this case, a turbine disk for a GE90 engine.

The primary project goal was to upgrade inspection processes to meet the rigorous safety standards required for automotive airbag components.

Metallo Ltd, a CNC subcontract manufacturing A UK based business in South Lanarkshire, has strengthened its inspection capability after investing in an the Baty Velo FV automated optical measurement system by Bowers Group.

A fluorescence laser scanner makes it possible to measure the application of release agents in die casting processes. The measurement data provides the basis for controlling the application of release agents in metal die casting processes.

By adopting the high-speed print head for in-house additive manufacturing, Subaru has cut tooling development time by more than 50 percent while significantly reducing overall prototyping and tooling costs.

Paint shops are major contributors to a factory’s environmental footprint, accounting for roughly 65% of CO₂ emissions and consuming the largest share of energy, water, and solvents in vehicle manufacturing.

According to the grinding process, the first insert is cleaned and measured. If the profile is within the required tolerances, series production starts. If not, the grinding process is corrected fully automatically – usually, a single iteration is enough to grind a perfect profile.

Inspecting springs has long been considered a challenging task in metrology. Their complex geometries, tightly wound coils, and small tolerances make traditional measurement approaches time-consuming and prone to error. Recognizing this, Ajile has developed a comprehensive, fully automated solution that brings precision and efficiency to spring inspection.

This article examines the specific challenges inherent to sheet metal inspection, the specific automated quality control (AQC) solution developed to address them, and the gains in accuracy and productivity achieved through their adoption.

Manual inspection and rework of large, complex 3D components in industries with particularly short cycles posed significant challenges, including time inefficiency, physical strain on workers, and inconsistent quality.

In a landmark advance for both advanced manufacturing and industrial automation, CATL has inaugurated the world’s first large-scale humanoid robot-powered battery pack production line at its battery manufacturing base in Luoyang, Henan Province, China.

The scanCONTROL 3010-200 laser profile scanners from Micro-Epsilon enable robots to precisely detect and handle flexible cables in real-time. Software synchronises the data from the sensors with the movement of the robot for precise positioning of the cables on the cable harness, providing an efficient and economical application solution.

In the rapidly maturing pickleball market, the gap between good and great has narrowed to just a few percentage points. For elite paddles, performance differences between top brands can be as small as five percent—nearly indistinguishable without precise measurement. At this level of refinement, incremental improvements are no longer enough
