Automated car body inspection

The new optical measuring machines can be set up and taken into operation flexibly at different locations in press shops and body plants – without permanent fixing or complicated floor anchoring.

In contrast to conventional systems for the measurement of large components, which consist of heavy robots mounted on long rails, the new ATOS ScanBox systems extend the working range of the ATOS measuring head by introducing new robotic kinematics. GOM’s 8-axis kinematics – a combination of a horizontal rail, a vertical lift and an articulated robot – allows high flexibility in positioning the ATOS sensor. As a result of these 8 degrees of freedom, the components can be measured from any perspective – including interiors where space is at a premium.
