ZEISS ABIS III combines high-speed inspection with a reliable detection of all relevant surface defects such as dents, bulges, sink marks, ripples, neckings, cracks and now also scratches and pressure marks. The system inspects both moving and stationary parts reproducibly and highly precise during live production and within the cycle time. Moreover, it is not only suited for in-line but also for at-line use in the production environment. The patented Multi-Color-Light technology allows for detecting even the smallest defects. After only a few seconds, a digital inspection report will be issued. This way, functions such as a Q-stop and digital quality details such as defect visualizations for scheduled rework are always available. They provide the basis for closed loop circuits and the precondition for implementing the Smart Process Control. Designed and developed in Germany to fulfill the highest quality standards, ZEISS ABIS III is the ideal solution for both modern press shops and future-oriented body shops. One of the technical highlights in this context is the newly developed MCL module. The patented Multi-Color-Light technology enables detecting the smallest types of defects at a rate of up to 20Hz and with an evaluation time of less than 0.5 seconds per sensor scan. In combination with the ZEISS ABIS V20 software, surface characteristics are detected within seconds and evaluated according to the specifications of individual corporate standards. The software visualizes types of defects such as dents, bulges, ripples, neckings and skid lines in real time and digitally stores the inspection results in a database.
