Make The Leap To a More Automated and Interconnected 3D Metrology
April 18, 2024
Metrology 4.0, which refers to the integration of digital technologies, automation and Industry 4.0 concepts into industries' measurement and control processes, has an important role to play in these changes. It modernizes traditional metrology practices by using advanced technological solutions to improve measurement efficiency, accuracy, and traceability.
3D Inline Optical Measurement of Battery Cell Modules
April 18, 2024
At Control, senswork is presenting ZScan Easy, a new system for inline 3D measurement of battery modules using four area scanners from the manufacturer Photoneo, which measures complete battery modules three-dimensionally in just a few seconds and transfers the results directly to production.
Control Expo 2024 Preview #2
April 18, 2024
Numerous Fraunhofer institutes research and develop in the field of image processing and optical or acoustic testing for quality assurance. At the Control 2024 exhibit, which is coordinated by the Fraunhofer Vision Business Unit, current new developments from various fields will be on display.
Control Expo 2024 Preview #1
April 18, 2024
With what has been traditionally one of the most important event in the exhibition calendar for Quality Control and Metrology equipment and services suppliers fast approaching we publish the 1st in a series of preview articles highlighting a few of the many new and innovative solutions that will be showcased at the Control Exhibition 23rd – 26th April in Stuttgart, Germany.
Automated Quality Control Made Accessible With Intuitive Hybrid Solution
April 17, 2024
Creaform handheld scanners can now easily be used as automated solutions, with this newly developed Hybrid Solution that combines cobot, digital twin software and workstation, for a flexible and affordable self-operating quality control experience.
Independent NC Code Checking Software Improves Machining Processes
April 17, 2024
VERICUT software detects errors, possible collisions, and potential inefficiencies in CNC machining. Unlike CAM simulation, which only simulates the toolpaths and not the actual NC data, VERICUT checks the actual NC code that is running the machines, giving a true virtual machine and a 3D machining digital twin.
Line-Scan Cameras Improve Manufacturing Yield and Quality
April 17, 2024
Automated optical inspection (AOI) of wafer-based solar cells requires a combination of 2D and 3D imaging to detect imperfections in coatings and printings, and for the reliable characterization of small surface defects. AOI guarantees the highest yield for manufacturers by reducing inspection times and boosting throughput, while also ensuring maximum utilization of raw materials and resources.
The Role of Metrology In Enhancing Manufacturing Quality Without Increasing Costs
April 17, 2024
Metrology emerges as a pivotal solution in this conundrum. By harnessing advanced metrology techniques, manufacturers can elevate their quality standards without compromising financial feasibility. We explore how leveraging metrology not only enhances manufacturing quality but also drives efficiency and competitiveness, all while containing costs.
Unleash the Power of Data-Driven Metrology: Metrology Measurement Open Day Series
April 17, 2024
Are you struggling to navigate the ever-evolving world of measurement technology? Tired of theoretical discussions without concrete answers? The UK's Midlands Centre for Data-Driven Metrology (MCDDM) are holding a series of Open Day Measurement Events to go beyond talking, to taking action.
