ZEISS AICell trace

By using this metrologically traceable technology, all relevant digital quality information is provided and all measuring points and functional dimensions relevant for continuous process monitoring are measured in cycle time. The comprehensive measuring point plan can be implemented via rolling measurements or pause programs. Thanks to the metrological traceability and the consideration of customer-specific measuring principles in the inline metrology, series measurements can now be carried out directly in the production line, which were previously only possible in the measuring room.

In addition to the exact sensor position, the tracking cameras also capture their own position, which can change due to temperature fluctuations. The stability modules form the fixed spatial reference for the tracking system. Temperature compensation enables highly precise and reliable measurements even in production environments with high temperature gradients.

ZEISS AICell trace turns the robot into a simple sensor carrier. This eliminates all mechanical and thermal influences of the robot on the measurement result. The system accuracy is independent of the robot's ability to position the sensor precisely.

The measurement results are visualized directly after the measurement in the connected ZEISS INDI software. Feature extraction in the point cloud can be set up quickly and is user-friendly. The software can also be used to perform statistical evaluations and configure the measurement plan. In conjunction with the ZEISS AIMax cloud sensor, efficiency and productivity can be increased and costs minimized:

• Near-fault identification incl. Q-Stop functionality 
• Downstream evaluation of image files for targeted root cause analysis
• Evaluation of measurement curves and trends per measuring point
• Visualization of the generated point cloud
• Display / visualization of all measurement results on a part
