Geometry measurement

ZEISS AICell

ZEISS 3D sensors combine 2D contour measurement using the multiple line triangulation principle. This enables the high precision, high-speed inspection of complex geometric characteristics (features) in metal working and in car body construction.

ZEISS AICell trace

The ZEISS AICell trace is a correlation-free in-line measuring cell for real-time process monitoring of complex characteristics and ramp-up support strategy with the first manufactured part. It consists of AIMax cloud 3D sensor, tracking cameras and a carbon body with LED tags, which forms a fixed unit with the sensor. Tracking cameras identify the location and position of the sensor by detecting the LED tags on the carbon cage. The system accuracy of AICell trace is independent of the robot’s ability to accurately locate the measurement sensor. This networked system makes it possible to acquire reliable and informative measurement and inspection data with the desired level of precision starting with the very first part.
