Overview
APDIS Intelligent Quality Stations provide flexible, fully automated, non-contact CMM inspection systems for Body-in-White and automotive components. Using the MV430E Laser Radar, these stations enable fast shop-floor or metrology-room installation, rapid setup and real-time quality results and analysis.

Key benefits

• Measure up to six times faster than traditional contact CMMs.
• Designed for shop-floor or metrology-room installation with simplified programming.
• Non-contact operation: no adapters, probes or surface coatings required.
• High repeatability and real-time quality feedback to speed decision making.
• Long standoff and pre-programmed robot grids reduce collision risk and protect parts and operators.

Intelligent Measurements
Fast configuration and automated capture of features with high accuracy and repeatability. Supports measurements from single features to large feature sets without targets or adapters.

Intelligent Analysis
Real-time data feedback and analysis tools identify deviations quickly and allow targeted inspection strategies to measure only what is required for effective quality control.

Intelligent Quality
Delivers metrology-grade inspection on the production floor with minimal setup, simplified programming and flexible installation options to place quality control where it is needed.

Product Highlights

• Laser Radar technology: MV430E Laser Radar for fast, automated, precise measurements.
• Robot‑independent alignment: calibrations at each measurement position remove robot variation from results.
• Flexible installation: suitable for shop-floor or metrology-room environments.
• Efficient data sets: measure 1 to 1000 features with minimal data for rapid analysis.
• Extended feature coverage: long-range MV430E reaches features inaccessible to other technologies.
• Safety: pre-programmed robot position grids and large standoff distances; international safety certification.
