Zeiss Industrial Metrology has opened a new facility in Wixom, Michigan, dedicated to the process chain in car body metrology and automated inspection.
“This center helps us illustrate how to make production more efficient in line, in the measuring room, and in between,” says Bob Wasilesky, key account manager for automated inspection. “This means production and quality can find solutions to problems anytime, from anywhere in the manufacturing facility.” The new center also showcases solutions for robotic inspection, quality and process data mining, plus measurement planning and offline programming, he says.
Designed as a one-stop shop for automated inspection systems, Mr. Wasilesky says that the center’s focus is on education, with dedicated stations demonstrating key ways Zeiss technologies interact with the process chain.
