Car Position Measurement

CAPMES UBC UBS

Robots in the production can only complete their task accurately with a reliable detection of the car body position in the cell.

The ISRA VISION Car Position Measurement (CAPMES) system is the industry standard on the market: it is easy to set up and ensures reliable, precise 3D recognition of the body position and orientation in stop & go operation or line tracking in the cell based on a combination of multiple cameras directed at certain features of the car body (e.g. holes, edges, corners) from various directions.

The 3D position of the body detected by the system is used to provide the off-set data to guide robots accurately in a downstream processing step. As a result, car body tolerances and mechanical position deviations can be compensated perfectly and a wide range of car body types can be accommodated on a single line.

Benefits

Fast and precise measurement of car body position for accurate robot guidance

Full flexibility for handling multiple car types in single production line

Reduced cycle time compared to mechanical fitting systems

Reliable function even under harsh conditions with built-in redundancies

Maximum uptime with automatic failed measurement recovery of alternate feature allowance

Features and technical data

Features
 

  • Reliable feature detection with HDR image capturing

  • Automatic calibration check and recalibration

  • Easy-to-use software with graphical user interface

Bead & Seam Inspection

RTVision 3d bead inspection on car body

When it comes to safety, the structural bonding of the car body is crucial. 

Quiss bead inspection systems reliably detect interruptions, faulty geometry, or position deviations -– directly inline or offline, depending on the application and requirements. The systems are perfectly coordinated and integrated into your line with optimized cycle times. The result is 100% production quality. Rework and scrap can be significantly reduced. 

Automated bead repair is available for all RTVision sensors. During application, the bead is accurately measured, and any gaps are reported to the application or robot control system. In a second pass, these gaps are closed -– accurately, without overlap and unwanted extra application.

These solutions are supported by our brand:

Gap & Flush

The fit and finish of a vehicle start in the body shop. Taking consistent and accurate gap and flush measurements on every car you manufacture allows you to identify and address alignment issues and reduce the likelihood of costly recalls or customer complaints due to road, wind noise, door closing effort, gas millage, and water leaks. 

Overall, measuring fit and finish is an essential part of your manufacturing process to ensure a high-quality product leaves the body shop.

These solutions are supported by our brand:
