Optical In-line Measuring System

At the Automatica 2008 event in Munich, the measuring specialist Wenzel launched an optical measuring system to verify components directly in the production process. Work pieces are checked within the cycle time of the production line by using an intelligent camera system. Using the Metrosoft CM measuring software, it is possible to check parts directly on the production line, sending a coordinated and immediate response to the relevant instance within the production process (e.g. correction message to the production machine, allocation of relevant information to subsequent processes such as sorting, data handling, statistics etc.). Data transfer to the different interfaces uses standardized formats so interaction with CAQ systems and the logistic control works without problem.
