FFTmetrology Gap & Flush Measurement of gap and transition values

FFTmetrology Gap & Flush

Concept
  • FFTmetrologyGap & Flush is an automatic robot-based solution for the stable measurement of gap and transition values.

  • In gap and transition measurements, components to be measured are often subject to fluctuations that influence the measurement result, for example due to fold radius shrinkage.

  • FFTmetrologyGap & Flush offers the solution by using the FFTmetrologyVarioGauge DH sensor and the FFT software.

Technical specifications
  • Flexibility
    • Different types of measured parts can be processed
  • resolution
    • Sensor + / - 0.1 mm
  • System availability
    • 99,92 %
  • Proof of stability
    • cg value (per sensor) > 1.33 (static)

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.
