Shopping spree

One day after the presentation of the new Faro Laser Tracker Ion, the plant engineering section of the vehicle toolmaking division of Volkswagen AG purchased four systems which will be used to calibrate and check production lines for VW body shops worldwide.

“Having successfully employed Faro Laser Trackers for many years, we chose Faro again for the new concept of synchronous production,” explained Peter Wulf, who is in charge of the Workshop Plant Engineering department at Volkswagen AG.

“The Ion came along at just the right time and meets increased demands thanks to its enhanced precision. The aim and purpose of synchronous production at Volkswagen is also to standardise mobile measuring technology within the Group. As a result, we are in a position to exchange personnel and equipment throughout Europe."
