Fast tool try-out using digitized try-out parts

Once a tool has been manufactured, it is necessary to check how accurately the parts produced with it meet the design requirements.

The ATOS system enables the user to perform full-surface 3D digitization of parts during try-out—on site, directly at the pressing plant. This makes it possible to very quickly identify any deviations between the actual geometry of the try-out part and the CAD model. In addition, functional dimensions, springback, trimming, deflection and the hole pattern of the try-out part can be checked in easy-to-understand graphic representations.

By comparing the measurement data with the 3D model of the try-out part, the following can be quickly and easily assessed:

1. How correctly does the tool work already?
2. Which sections still require changes?
