wave-scan ROBOTIC

Orange Peel / DOI wave-scan ROBOTIC - 11684 Orange Peel/DOI

Automatic appearance control of topcoatfinish at the line

A stable running process is the key for uniform andconsistent quality. Therefore, orange peel and DOI need to be measured on a routine basis in the production process and the measurement results shared with add-on suppliers. The new wave-scan ROBOTIC allows automated appearance control as it is mounted on a robotic arm. The robotic system ensures measurement on the same area and a high number of measured car bodies.

Non-contact measurement

Distance to surface 15 ± 2 mmAngle to perpendicular ± 2° Curvature > 500 mm radius Scan speed 50 to 150 mm/sec. Small and light weight

Objective and reliable appearance data

Excellent correlation to wave-scan DOI, theappearance standard in the automotive industryStructure spectrum gives detailed information aboutthe surface qualityCause of appearance changes can be analyzed Orange Peel, DOI and customer specific scalesavailable

Stable process means consistent quality

Automated appearance control provides complete and representative data for statistical process controlwave-scan ROBOTIC builds up a valuable database forsystematic process analysis and optimization
