Digitizing tremendously saves time and costs when modifying series tools

Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP

Keywords: Optimized milling, hybrid modelling

Modifications to the tools are required during starting up the tools or in the first production phase of car body parts. Thus, the real shape of the tool does no longer correspond to its original and basic design. To repair or reproduce the tool efficiently, the best technical solution is to digitize the surfaces of the tool and prepare the digitized data as CAD data set.

Optical Digitizing by ATOS for Press Parts and Tools

Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP

Keywords: Springback, trimming, milling, casting

During recent years, optical sensors like the ATOS system for digitizing sheet metal parts and tools have been more and more used in the industry. In the following you can see how the nominal/actual comparison of sheet metals is used in the automotive industry for analysis and inspection purposes and on various applications in tool manufacturing.

3D Digitizing in Tool and Moldmaking

Measuring Systems: ATOS, TRITOP

Keywords: Milling, Forms and casts, Try out analysis

In tool and mold making it is important to capture the actual contour of a part. The traditional method for the acquisition of measuring data is time-consuming and requires transporting the tool to the measuring setup. Powerful digitizing systems, based on the principle of fringe projection, are an integral part of industrial process and measuring chains and constitute a good alternative.
