5 Typical components included in the 360 SIMS BIW Cell 1 White Light Sensors Hexagon Metrology s White Light Sensors are designed to operate in a shop floor environment and can acquire both surface and feature data. With rapid shot image acquisition considerable dimensional data is collected and analyzed in real time. 2 Fixed Sensors Additional fixed sensors can be added for measuring hidden or isolated critical points on the car body. 3 Industrial Robots Hexagon Metrology s Smart Inline Measurement Solutions are compatible with commonly used industrial robots from manufacturers. Robots give the flexibility of motion and high speed as well as being a reliable platform. Multiple robots and sensors can be integrated into a single cell depending on the specific application requirements. 4 RPS Measuring Device This patent pending innovation by Hexagon Metrology allows an accurate and repeatable alignment of complex parts for measurement. It locks the BiW into position and also allows measuring hidden features using integrated RPS sensors. 5 Skid The Skid is the carrier of the BiW throughout the body shop line. Depending on the customer and application there are different types of carriers used. 6 Lift The lift lowers the incoming skid and BiW on to the RPS device and when measurement is completed, lifts it back on to the conveyor line. 7 System Calibration Stand The calibration stand includes two artifacts on both sides of the body. This allows the calibration of optical sensors and temperature compensation for the robots. The calibration process takes place during, before or after the measurement and does not reduce the available measurement time thanks to the innovative calibration technology. 8 Monitoring Station / Electronics The monitoring station serves as key interface to the line operator with touch screen for monitoring the measurement results. It includes all electronics required for computing results and allows an easy access to all components in case of required maintenance. The cabinet includes air-conditioning which allows a continued operation under demanding shop floor conditions. 9 Safety and Automation The cell is well protected such as any other robotic station in the line with fences, safety doors, light screen areas and opening gates. 10 Integrated Software Tools Hexagon Metrology s 360 SIMS Software Suite includes a powerful server and point cloud based software application. With a touch screen interface, users with basic experience in metrology such as line workers can easily control the cell and create reports. Measurement and process colormaps, trend charts and video of the day reports provide an instant overviews of trends in the line. 8 See our new 360 SIMS animation at

6 easy and always in control Surface Area Measurement Technology Our surface area measurement technology combined with the 360 SIMS software results in a variety of powerful analysis tools including rich color-maps, visual SPC s, comparisons, trend charts for large data sets and patent pending video of the day reports. Analysis of measurement results such as surface geometries, edge lines, character lines and cross sections makes it easier for production personnel to understand the main cause of quality issues and quickly resolve them. From production launch, through ramp-up to steady state production monitoring, Automated Solutions by Hexagon Metrology provide an added value insight into the dimensional process control Smart Inline Measurement Solutions 360 SIMS
