Get a complete understanding of your build quality and process capability with digital multi-camera, 100% in-line inspection for automotive body and chassis components – from cross car beams to full automotive underbodies.
Inspect hundreds of features at once for 3D dimensionality and presence in approx. 30 seconds within the same inspection cycle. Collect inspection images and GD&T data from each component you manufacture.
Monitor your build quality and process performance for each component and production cell in real-time. Develop a complete and granular understanding of how your manufacturing processes behave.
Associate each part produced with its entire visual and dimensional inspection data. Create a complete visual and quantitative memory of your production for advanced part traceability and retroactive inspection.
Manufacture smarter with an advanced set of capabilities in 100% quality containment and process optimization towards zero-defect manufacturing of automotive body and chassis components – enabled by 100% x 100% in-line inspection.
Achieve GD&T measurements with ±0.02 mm repeatability and ±0.1 mm CMM correlation for hundreds of features in approx. 30 seconds.
With the same system, recognize and inspect product variants – or even different products of similar complexity.
Avoid false NOK and OK parts. Mapvision multi-camera triangulation delivers reliable results compared to single-point optical systems.
Add new features to be inspected or modify specifications through software – without any mechanical, on-site adjustments.
The inspection process is executed fully digitally and without any mechanical movement – providing flexibility, robustness, and speed.
Preserve consistent accuracy across all features (e.g. achieve the same measurement accuracy for both a 2mm gap and a 100mm gap).
From troubleshooting to updating the measurement program and analyzing results, manage your process remotely from any where. Access the inspection data both from the shop-floor and the top-floor.
With fully digital and static inspection process, multi-camera technology, and powerful machine learning and photogrammetry algorithms; inspect hundreds of features in approximately 30 seconds.
Streamline your inspection process. Analyze inspection data with intuitive interfaces, create reports, share data quickly from shop floor to top-floor, add new inspection points within minutes, and even deploy new inspection programs completely remotely.
Between 30 to 90 fixed digital cameras observe the whole volume of the part. Images of each feature is captured by multiple cameras from multiple angles. Unlike conventional sensor systems, each camera observes multiple features in each image – drastically improving both system robustness and accuracy.
Hundreds of captured images are associated with the S/N of the inspected part and saved to the image database to be passed to inspection algorithms. The images can be accessed at any point for part traceability and to conduct new inspections retroactively on previously measured features or completely new features – even after the parts have left your premises.
All inspections are executed by powerful machine vision and photogrammetry algorithms directly on the images collected and stored in the image database – completely digitizing the inspection process by removing the dependency on the physical presence of the part once the images are collected within seconds.
Analyze the inspection data at line, cell, part, and feature level. Deploy new inspection programs within minutes, generate reports, access the inspection data from the rework station – or from the top-floor. Monitor your manufacturing operation in real-time with unparalleled granularity.
All inspections are conducted on the digital images collected from the part – removing the dependency on the physical presence of the parts to inspect features. You can conduct new inspections (e.g. additional features, updated specifications) on each part – even if the parts have left your premises.
