Applications

Wire bonding is a key process in semiconductor production. Extremely fine wires with diameters of 15 to 75 micrometers are used to create tiny electrical connections between a semiconductor chip and other components. The distances between the bond wires are often less than 100 micrometers.

Dodman’s adoption of Mesh2Surface came alongside the integration of 3D scanning into their operations recognising the potential benefits of incorporating a professional-grade reverse engineering solution into their process.

The main task is to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the plastic items produced. This includes measurements for initial sample test reports, measurements during series production as well as ensuring machining production.

Modelfusa, a manufacturing company based in Manresa, Spain, relied heavily on a single Hexagon Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) equipped with PCDMIS software for their quality control process. The unexpected breakdown of their CMM controller presented a significant challenge, as the company depended on hundreds of existing PCDMIS part programs.

Zebra Technologies, a leading digital solution provider, has announced that I.D.E.A. S.r.l. (Intelligent Development Engineered Applications), the Italian partner company of M.O.S.A.I.C. (Motion System and Information Control), has selected Zebra to drive efficiency and productivity in its quality assurance inspection process.

In the highly competitive composite materials industry, companies are constantly looking to refine their processes and enhance product quality. The challenges are multifaceted: the need for meticulous accuracy in part measurement, the demand for speed in production without compromising standards, and the adaptability to a diversity of intricate designs.

What’s the most efficient way to ensure the quality of millions of mass-produced series parts used in highly demanding, safety-critical applications? Plogsties meets this challenge by putting its trust in vision systems from Kistler for optical quality inspection – the key to zero-defect production backed by technical advice, state-of-the-art image processing, and all-round service.

AVPE Systems, a manufacturer of components and assemblies for the aerospace industry, has achieved a 30 per cent increase in shop floor uptime since implementing FourJaw Manufacturing Analytics.

Previously, CMS Cepcor had been using a pair of manually-operated, portable, 6-axis arms with a 2.5-metre and a 3-metre reach respectively to check cast-iron, cast or forged steel, and bronze components by touch-probing them. This was a lengthy process, as well as being insufficiently precise to measure some parts without difficulty.
