3D Inspection on Automotive Tube Bending
The automobile industry is one of the largest and most important industries in the world. It reflects the comprehensive power and competitiveness of a country, and also closely relates to everyone’s life. The auto accessory is the foundation for the development of the automobile industry, and the solid foundation will bring a prosperous future for it.
Why does automotive tube bending need 3D inspection?
Automotive pipe manufacturing is an indispensable part of automotive accessories. However, manufacturers go through a lot of hardships for these pipes during producing and installation, because it will eventually affect the accessories installation and the overall structure without accurate automotive tube bending 3D data. Therefore, it is significant to get accurate tube bending 3D data.
Demerits of traditional devices
Nonius:
● Can’t effectively measure the objects.
● Artificial measurement is the only way to estimate that the installation is qualified or not.
● Causes great deviations.
Normal 3D measurement devices:
● Not easy carrying.
● Complicated operation procedures.
● Measurement performance is also not good enough.
