Mobile 3-D-measurement technique ProCam for bus manufacturing

A vast number of varieties, multiple special customer requirements and a low level of automation are significant for the manufacturing of passenger busses. An automated control of individual parts and complete vehicles as part of the quality assurance is difficult also with regard to the dimensions of up to 15 meters.

Only some of the parts are measured on stationary co-ordinate measurement machines. Quite often, scales and jigs are used. At MAN Bus GmbH in Salzgitter, Germany, the AICON 3-D measurement system ProCam is used now. The system was optimized for use in bus production within a project of the European Union (EU).
