Using advanced white-light optical technology, OptiCell provides a flexible solution for real-time shop floor metrology. OptiCell acquires rich dimensional information from measured objects regardless of size, complexity or geometric features. OptiCell offers the required robustness to overcome demanding environmental conditions such as vibrations, temperature and illumination changes, which are common in industrial manufacturing sites.
OptiCell transforms the acquired dimensional data and produces a variety of intuitive 3D graphical measurement reports that are easily understood by different users throughout the organization. Combining an innovative optical measurement technology with a flexible robotic configuration, OptiCell helps manufacturers introduce products to the market quickly and dependably.
The OptiCell is available in a variety of industrial cell configurations especially suited for supporting a number of processes in the manufacturing industries such as:
- Incoming parts and assembly QA
- Stamping and hydroforming production try-out and line tune-in
- Closures and subassemblies measurement
- Assembly launch support and production ramp-up
- Production process control
OptiCell is designed to ensure highly reliable measurements without compromising on measurement throughput, flexibility and ease of use critical for recurring operations.
- Allows planning and programming of detailed measurement programs
- Measures full surfaces, geometric features and edges
- Provides intuitive color map based deviations analysis
- Fully integrated to an industrial cell using common robots
- Digital communication unaffected by industrial conditions
- Offers real time processing of measurement results
