Variants of the FFTmetrology Bead Control Technical specifications
FFTmetrology Bead Control Single sensor
Formation
Sensor can be installed stationary, on a robot or on linear axes
Procedure
1. The component is moved relative to the laser.
2. The sensor is moved by the robot/on axes over the component.
Control

The measurement result is saved with the measurement option
FFTmetrology Bead Control Quad sensor
Formation
4 sensors are arranged around the adhesive nozzle, thus forming a rectangle
Procedure - Form
1. The component is moved relative to the laser.
2. The sensor is moved by the robot/on axes over the component.
Control

The measurement result is saved with the measurement option

FFTweldtec Measuring Station
Measuring Station for welding guns
Professional calibration of servo-pneumatic and servo-motorised robot welding guns, including determination of the deflection of the electrode arm geometry using 3D measuring systems and logging.
FFTmetrology RGS
Robot Guiding System
The FFTmetrology RGS system is used to guide the robot to a calculated ideal position rather than to a teached position. For this purpose, 2D or 2.5D images are first captured and calculated.
FFTmetrology iPS
intelligent positioning system
It is determined the deviations of the vehicle bodies in just one station. The result can then be used for optimization in the following stations. The condition is that the body positioning in each station is the same and stable.
FFTmetrology BeadControl
Intelligent Adhesive layering control
The FFTmetrology Bead Control scans the adhesive bead and precisely measures its position, width and height. The measurement takes place while the adhesive is being applied, thus avoiding a loss of cycle time.
FFTmetrology VisionCheckup
Completeness check system
This system can be used to reliably check the placement of add-on elements and features, e.g. welding studs, holes, embossing, etc., so that missing or incorrectly placed parts are recognised immediately. It can be designed for 2D and 2.5D.
FFTmetrology VisionView
Optical quality inspection of large-volume components
FFTmetrology VisionView offers fast, precise quality control of individual components through to entire car bodies in automated manufacturing processes. It is suitable for various features such as holes, surface points, distances, etc.
FFTmetrology Gap & Flush
Measurement of gap and flush values
FFTmetrology Gap & Flush is an automatic robot-based solution for stable measurement of gap and flush values.
For this application, the FFT VG DH (laser triangulation using a dual-head sensor) is ideal.
FFTmetrology HemQC
3D detection of the seam quality
FFTmetrology HemQC inspects the quality of the folded edge during the roll folding process. This is a scanning procedure in which the width and height of the fold or the excess adhesive is measured.
FFTmetrology Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG)
Leakage detection system for pipelines
The FFTmetrology Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) is the solution for detecting small leaks with a leakage rate of ≥20l/h. It is available in various diameters (≥6") and meets all necessary TÜV requirements as well as the ATEX certification.
FFTmetrology BestFit
optimal component positioning
FFTmetrology BestFit calculates the ideal assembly position of a component relative to the component cutout. Both have individual tolerances, which are considered as important factors in the position calculation.
FFTtesting S3 - Smart Sensor System
flexible & scalable measuring system
The FFTtesting S3 is a flexible, wireless measuring system with a modular design. It records pressure, humidity, temperature and more. Ideal for hard-to-reach mobile applications in harsh environments.
