The white light measuring system Cognitens WLS400A is a flexible solution for real-time shop floor metrology. It acquires rich dimensional information from measured objects regardless of size, complexity or geometric features. This turnkey solution overcomes demanding environmental conditions such as vibrations, temperature and illumination changes and is applicable with all common industrial robots.
Compared to traditional measurement methods, Cognitens WLS400A offers:
Up to 50% savings in checking fixtures costs
Lower sampling per tryout event
Reduced metrology data interpretation effort
Change of inspection points without tooling investment
Reduced number of special studies and lay-out panels
Reduced number of physical builds using virtual assembly studies
Minimum scrap costs during line tune-in and ramp up
Higher system throughput
Significant reduction of labour costs
Quick Return on Investment
Overall lower cost of quality
Cognitens WLS400A is designed to ensure highly reliable measurements without compromising on measurement throughput, flexibility and ease of use critical for recurring operations.
