The patented Multi-Color-Light technology allows for detecting even the smallest defects. After only a few seconds, a digital inspection report will be issued. This way, functions such as a Q-stop and digital quality details such as defect visualizations for scheduled rework are always available. They provide the basis for closed loop circuits and the precondition for implementing the Smart Process Control. Designed and developed in Germany to fulfill the highest quality standards, ZEISS ABIS III is the ideal solution for both modern press shops and future-oriented body shops.

The conventional surface inspection, e.g., treating the surface with grindstones, takes a lot of time and depends on the relevant user. This subjective inspection may cause disagreements between customer and supplier and consequently complaints, claims or costly sorting or reworking tasks. With the use of the sensor ZEISS ABIS III and the fast defect detection rate of up 20 Hz, manual and subjective quality assurance processes become redundant. The resource-efficient system continuously and automatically provides the database required for dedicated rework, quick surface analyses and efficient process optimizations.

In combination with the ZEISS ABIS V20 software, surface characteristics are detected within seconds and evaluated according to the specifications of individual corporate standards. The software visualizes types of defects such as dents, bulges, ripples, neckings and skid lines in real time and digitally stores the inspection results in a database. Thus, the quality certificate for the customers is available and retrievable at any time. The evaluation of determined defect hot spots facilitates a quick root cause analysis and, on its basis, the definition of targeted corrective actions.
