APDIS in Automotive

Nikon's APDIS MV5X Laser Radar brings absolute accuracy and fast measurements to the production line, allowing true process control in automotive body shops.

Better Data, Better Control

APDIS MV5X can be deployed across a wide range of applications within automotive manufacturing for real time feedback, deep dive inspection, and quick problem investigation to improve quality and process control throughout the factory.

Benefits for Automotive

Reduce ramp up time and save costs

With the APDIS MV5X, traceable, accurate data is available during the critical pre-series and ramp up phases of production without the need for correlation. Complete inspection routines can be run in minutes, providing ample, good quality data to allow you to tune your production processes faster than before, reducing ramp up times and starting production with a higher quality product.

Improve PIST metric and deliver a better product

Continuous measurement during full production with the APDIS MV5X will maintain high quality allowing for feedback and feedforward of data to continually monitor and maintain the process.

Reduce Production downtime

Deep dive into problems using an offline APDIS next‑generation CMM. The APDIS MV5X can check, adjust, and monitor tooling as a portable measurement device – all while maintaining the same measurement methods and equipment used in-line for consistency.

Enhanced Productivity

Measure features faster or scan surfaces for detailed analysis in-line and offline.
