APDIS Automotive Laser Measuring & Inspection System

Nikon’s APDIS Laser Radar brings absolute, accurate and fast measurement to the shop floor, allowing true process control in automotive body shops and enabling Quality 4.0.

A Paradigm Shift in Shop Floor Inspection

The APDIS MV430E provides the fastest feature measurement of any Laser Radar to date, allowing inspection of critical features in the takt time of the line, or a sampling strategy to cover more features over a set of car bodies for true process control.

Benefits for Automotive

APDIS-10_nikon-metrology-3dmetrology-shopfloor-cmm-absolute-accuracy

Direct comparison to CAD

Using the APDIS system within a fully automated robotic measurement solution introduces an innovative approach to body-in-white (BIW) inspection.

APDIS-13_nikon-metrology-3dmetrology-shopfloor-cmm-cmm-quality-data

Robot independent accuracy

The robot positions the Laser Radar to provide line of sight to the required features. The Laser Radar then automatically realigns to the part by measuring tooling balls on the fixture.

Boost inspection productivity

With the ability to measure over 6 times as fast as a traditional CMM, an APDIS Laser Radar solution can greatly increase measurement throughput.

Core Features

Driving Quality 4.0

As body-in-white inspection moves in the direction of Quality 4.0, it will become a fully automated, non-contact, absolute measurement process integrated into the production line. Traditional inspection approaches, such as horizontal arm CMMs, are being replaced by newer, automated approaches like Laser Radar systems.

Boost inspection productivity in the metrology room

Using APDIS in the metrology room as a replacement for traditional CMMs, the off-line facility ceases to be a bottleneck due to faster measurement, allowing quicker investigation of problems. APDIS can be used for inspecting a range of part sizes, from components to full chassis and BiW depending on the configuration, offering many benefits.
