The factory of Opel in Spain, located in Figueruelas (Zaragoza) has acquired a team of measure mobile 3D, developed by Belgian company Krypton and distributed in Spain by Abrox, Industrial metrology. The system will be used for dimensional control in the production line.
It's a mobile 3D system of large volume of measure - 17 m3 - and ability to measure objects in unstable position. The 3D action is taken with the Space Probe, a transducer of manual measurement with a ball of interchangeable Ruby. Since the Space Probe is not subject to any structure offers a great ease of movement and allows to measure in any orientation; as far as his arm can reach.
This system incorporates an open source software that allows the connection with the majority of the market such as Metromec, Metrolog II, Holos, PowerInspect… 3D analysis software With this ease of connection, the user of the system may use the software with which you feel most comfortable, and who knows better, thus reducing the training time to work with the system.
Opel has acquired analysis software 3D Metromec - their standard throughout Europe - saving time in training and thus decreasing the ongoing operational start-up of this implementation period.
Thanks to its system of vibration Dynamic filtering reference system is capable of measuring objects in unstable position or in environments with strong vibrations. With this tool it is possible to also perform multireferenciales measurements and can measure, for example, the compression of the rubber in sealing a gate when this is closed or the real position of the points of attachment of a lighthouse with respect to the body when the element is mounted.
