MoveInspect : 3D Measurement of Dynamic Processes

In order to sustain its own competitive capability, every company has to meet the challenge to develop products within shorter periods, and manufacture them at lower costs. In doing so, the inspection of parts with respect to their motion and deformation behaviour can play a vital role. In what situations is an object deformed unintentionally during running production? How does an element behave under load? And how stable is the used material, when does it fracture? AICON’s new measuring system MoveInspect can now answer all these questions.

MoveInspect captures dynamic processes three dimensionally and analyses them regarding geometric changes. For this application, AICON has developed a special camera bar that is equipped with digital cameras, and is available in two version - MoveInspect HF (high frequency) and MoveInspect HR (high resolution).

For each measurement set, the MoveInspect software determines the 3D coordinates of object points, the 6 DoF coordinates of solid bodies, and the speed of movement of the points or solid bodies. The results can be analysed after the measurement has taken place, or alternatively in real-time. The integrated magnifier function allows for the visualization of the slightest movement. This is also possible in case of highly frequent processes with long observation times, i.e. when the data volume is very high. The results of the dynamic measurements are displayed in a clear and descriptive manner, and may also be exported to external analysis software such as DIADem. MoveInspect can be synchronized with other systems using standard interfaces, and can therefore be used to support the control of dynamic processes.

Typical applications include ;

	Defect analysis in process e.g. during welding on the production line
	Component behaviour during wind tunnel and climate chamber testing
	Analysis of collision damage
	Materials testing & structure analysis
	Analysis of door closure processes e.g. slam testing, convertible tops, bonnet and trunk closures
	Vibration and load testing
	Control of industrial robots
	Machine vision
