Optical metrology at Koenigsegg
Manufacturer of high performance sports cars, Koenigsegg have realised the benefits of using the latest optical metrology systems to support the design and assembly of their latest vehicles.
The Absolute Arm from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence is a tool for tube inspection processes, and the dedicated TubeShaper software together with specialised infrared tube probes make the collection of tube geometries simple.
The software visually guides users through the process, and only a small number of measurements need be taken to form a full digital picture of the as-produced tube.
Comparison against nominal data takes the process a step further with the calculation of correctional bending data that can be directly communicated to the bender to ensure further production meets manufacturing requirements.
