Metrology Solutions for the Automotive Industry
The automotive industry is built on precision, safety, and efficiency. As vehicles become increasingly complex and customers demand higher quality, manufacturers must ensure every component meets strict tolerances and specifications.
Automotive metrology encompasses a wide range of requirements due to parts being produced in various locations. From product development to mass production, an extensive array of components and assemblies require high accuracy to function safely and efficiently.
The Challenges of Automotive Manufacturing
Automotive manufacturing integrates hundreds or even thousands of individual parts. Every component must be made within precise specifications to ensure the quality of the finished product. Suppliers to the automobile industry require a robust quality management system which optimises productivity without compromising on quality.
Complex assemblies, tight tolerances, high-volume production and regulatory compliance are some of the unique challenges facing automotive manufacturers.
Why Automotive Manufacturers Choose InspecVision
At InspecVision, we provide innovative, non-contact metrology systems designed to meet the demands of the automotive industry.
High Volume Inspection - Traditional inspection tools like CMMs and checking fixtures are common in the automotive industry. They can be time-consuming, prone to human error and can only inspect specific points on the part. The advent of high-speed automated machinery makes quick quality control methods essential.
Rapidly Detect Tool Damage – CMMs and checking fixtures can fail to detect tool damage due to the part profile being assessed at a limited number of points. A damaged tool can continue to product sub-standard parts for some time before the issue is identified, leading to inefficient production and increased waste. InspecVision’s automated systems inspect the whole part, flagging up any issues as soon as they arise.
Automotive Interiors – Automotive manufacturing includes components for vehicle interiors, like seat covers and doors, side and centre consoles. To ensure the highest quality standards, our cutting-edge measurement systems provide fast, automated and precise inspection of surface materials and textiles.
Stamped Sheet Metal Part Inspection - Automotive manufacturing relies heavily on stamped sheet metal parts for components like radiators, seat frames and battery trays. The GD & T profile of each part needs to be verified to ensure efficient production. InspecVision’s Planar machine, with table sizes up to six metres, is widely used in the industry for inspecting a wide variety of stamped parts.
Automotive Blanks - In the automotive industry, blanks refer to pre-cut, flat metal sheets or plates that serve as the raw material for stamping, pressing, or forming operations. They enable the efficient mass production of automotive components like body panels, structural parts and brackets.
The quality and consistency of these blanks directly influence the performance of downstream processes such as stamping, pressing, and forming.
At InspecVision, our high-speed, non-contact inspection systems help automotive manufacturers and suppliers guarantee blank accuracy—whether for flat, contour, or tailor-welded blanks.
