Eines Vision Metrology as a quality driver in the automotive industry

The production processes in the automotive sector are subject to thorough quality controls every day. The guarantee in the inspection is one of the drivers that bring added value to the customers. For this reason, manufacturers are relying on a new generation of metrology solutions to increase their productivity and product quality. That is why Eines Vision Systems continues to research and innovate in this area of work, through its Flush & Gap family of products.

For several years now, metrology has ceased to be a mere complement to automotive production. It has gone from offering random calculations of several components in manufacturing, to becoming an indispensable factor that ensures the correct integration of each part in the final product.

Measurement can make the difference between the success and failure of a long and costly production process. And that is why we owe it to the success of our customers.

Having a team specialized in reliable and easy-to-use measurement systems is a basic and indispensable aspect for any company in the sector or partner of the main OEM's, who want to ensure quality control in the manufacture and assembly of their parts.

However, on many occasions the advantages of measurement can be hidden because the equipment is not adapted to the needs of the production cycles. That is why there is a wide variety of metrology equipment, from the most common coordinate measuring equipment to the new Flush & Gap solutions. The key is to find out which one is the most suitable.

Eines has developed different Flush & Gap systems that collect the various types of production systems (inline, robot or manual) and customer measurement needs.

Each part needs specific measurement characteristics In general, Eines has developed error detection systems that are most commonly used in precision mechanics, for two reasons.

Firstly, because they make it possible to verify particularly fine structures that could become deformed when touched and, secondly, because they act much more quickly, since they can take key points as a reference, instead of covering the entire surface. The latter saves a lot of time and facilitates the integration of the equipment into the production and inspection process in series.

These systems are designed to verify complex geometries. They are based on the analysis of a grey scale: the more contrast there is at the edges of the part, the more accurate the measurement. This technology is one of the most evolved in recent times.
