FFTmetrology BestFit Optimum component positioning

FFTmetrology BestFit

Concept
  • The aim of BestFit is the optimal positioning of a component.
  • Every component is subject to certain tolerances, which must be compensated for in subsequent processes in order to achieve optimum results
  • FFTmetrologyBestFit solves this task by using an individual weighting for each measuring point. Dien in relation to the nominal value of gap and transition. In this way, the tolerance characteristics can be targeted to specific regions. This results in a definable mediating system.
Technical specifications
  • Flexibility
    • several types can be processed by one system
  • resolution
    • Sensor 0.05mm
  • System availability
    • 99,92%
  • Proof of stability
    • cg - value (per sensor) >= 1.33 (static)
    • cm value (system with robot) >= 1.67 (dynamic)

Elimination of environmental influences

  • Elimination of environmental influences such as temperature, aging of robots and changes in setting behavior

BestFit for various processes Process steps

1. detection of geometric deviations

  • Robot moves with component in gripper to automatically adjusted measuring positions

2. data acquisition

  • Measurement of gap and transition with laser triangulation sensors
  • Hole measurement with 2D ring light sensor is also possible

3. correction calculation

  • Calculation of the optimum joining position based on the recorded geometric deviations

4. data transmission

  • The calculated position is transmitted to the robot
  • Data transmission via TCP/IP

5. repositioning

  • The component is optimally positioned.

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.
