With proven technology and unique processes, we specialize in delivering the most advanced stereo-vision based metrology products for accelerating design, engineering, fabrication and assembly operations.
The global market is rapidly accepting CogniTens solutions which are considered as advantageous alternatives to conventional measurement and gauging systems and generating higher benefits and return on investment for the adopting organization.
8 reasons for choosing CogniTens for your shop floor metrology needs:
1. CogniTens offers highly versatile systems suited for industrial metrology applications throughout the product lifecycle
Ranging from prototype part inspection, die build & tryout validation to replacing hard checking fixtures for automotive parts and assemblies with virtual gauging technologies, CogniTens Optigo and OptiCell systems offer a robust multipurpose solution for common industry processes. Consisting of advanced equipment, embedded software and added value evaluation & analysis software, CogniTens solutions provide the highest usability allowing quick ramp up and easy use by shop floor operators and engineers to support common automotive and aerospace industry applications.
2. CogniTens solutions provide the fastest full & meaningful measurement results to increase usability and informed decision making
Whether it’s a first article inspection, panel tryout or tool measurement - getting full dimensional information concerning the measured object is critical for qualifying the parts or guiding adjustment / rework operations. CogniTens Optigo & OptiCell have been designed to provide highly informative dimensional data including full surface deviation from CAD, features and edge positions, cross section measurements and other results – online as soon as the measurement is concluded. This and other measurement information is also made available as output to CogniTens and other vendors’ software tools for more detailed analysis, engineering study or reverse engineering work.
3. CogniTens systems are optimized for operation in your demanding engineering & production environment
Unlike other systems which require setting a controlled environment away from the engineering and production lines, CogniTens systems were designed for robust operation directly on the shop floor where the operations are taking place. This is also where the measurement insight is most required to accelerate quality iterations. CogniTens unique technology makes OptiCell and Optigo systems immune to common shop floor conditions such as vibrations, ambient light, temperature changes, etc. CogniTens Optigo allows maximum mobility on the shop floor including hand held option for highest accessibility to measured objects. Both systems support measurement of untreated small to very large parts and assemblies.
4. CogniTens products are easily integrated with existing metrology systems and software
CogniTens values your company’s past investments in other measurement systems and software products. This is why we’re developing our products to easily interface with your legacy products and leverage the power of past investments coupled with our advanced solutions. CogniTens measurement systems and software products can interface (Input & output) with a variety of leading software products (such as Geomagic, Tebis, Polyworks, Rapidform, Etc.) for product design, reverse engineering, dimensional studies, statistical process control and other domains. CogniTens also allows integrating measurement results from other vendors systems into its dimensional evaluation process and supporting software suite.
5. CogniTens supports both manual and fully automated recurring measurements to fit with your exact metrology processes
Customers require different solutions for different applications and process stages; this is why CogniTens was first in the market to introduce both a portable manually operated system (Optigo) and a fully automated robotic measurement system (OptiCell) tightly integrated into the shop floor environment. Since then, Optigo and OptiCell have been implemented by over 50 customers worldwide and introduced into standard process supporting development, engineering and quality operations mainly in the automotive and aerospace industries.
6. CogniTens supports your small to global enterprise scale implementation
CogniTens prides itself in developing close long-term relationships with its customers and providing special attention to their implementations big or small. CogniTens serves global customer accounts with installations in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Spain, France, Germany, Israel, China, Korea and Japan. Our offices are staffed and equipped to support new and existing customer implementations from the early stages of planning an implementation program to training, advanced process development and on-site support. CogniTens professional services organization offers these and other services helping customers achieve the highest return from their investments in CogniTens solutions.
7. CogniTens is trusted by the world’s leading Automotive & Aerospace companies
General Motors Corporation, Daimler Chrysler Group, Ford Motor Company, Toyota Motor Company, Honda Motor Company, Magna International, Mazda Motors, Kikuchi Co., Ogihara America Corporation, Hirotec Worldwide, NASA, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha and many more rely on CogniTens to accelerate new product introductions, solve engineering problems and improve overall manufacturing and assembly quality.
8. CogniTens products meet most demanding industry standards for safety, quality & measurement reliability
Our products have been certified by international organizations and have proven to meet strict quality and safety requirements for industrial metrology systems. Dozens of independent customer and university studies have also validated that CogniTens measurement results meet industry standards for gauge repeatability and reproducibility in the shop floor environment with high correlation to CMM measurements.
