Increasing Efficiency in the Press Shop

To ensure higher throughput (more parts in less time, optimized planning) and better repeatability for more process reliability, industrial production processes require automated measuring cells. As a complete supplier of industrial measurement sensors and parametric evaluation software, ZEISS opens up new ways for standardized and centralized inspection with traceable workflows.

Rigid components are measured with the non-contact digitizer without clamping fixtures, because the alignment of the measuring data to the CAD data in ZEISS INSPECT is controlled by RPS points. To digitize the sheet metal component in its free state, the component is only recorded once and deformations can then be measured and visualized. Due to the data density, different alignments are possible, which contribute to quick problem solving in the analysis of sheet metal assemblies. When measuring clamped sheet metal components, the non-contact measuring methods enable an adaptive measuring concept, making costly gauges superfluous. A single measuring fixture can be used, for example, as a replacement for six measuring gauges. As this device can be used for several components at the same time, it not only saves storage space but also production time.
