ZEISS presents the new generation of the surface inspection system ABIS. The new sensor ZEISS ABIS III, which has been designed, developed, and produced in Germany, enables reliable and early inspection of the entire component surface – within cycle time – due to its objective evaluation and classification of all kinds of defects – making the fully automated system the ideal quality assurance tool for modern press shops and future-oriented body shops. The robust sensor ZEISS ABIS III, fast and reliably, detects all relevant surface defects such as dents, bulges, sink marks, ripples, neckings, cracks and now also scratches, pressure marks as well as welding & glueing residues. With utmost precision, it can inspect both moving and stationary parts inline or at line within cycle time. The smart combination of the projector, cameras, patented lighting and the new software ZEISS ABIS V20 ensures the perfect balance between maximum inspection speed, robustness, reliability and usability. When using this sensor, there’s no need for conventional methods such as manual visual inspections or surface treatment by means of grindstones anymore. No more claims or cost-intensive sorting processes. In quality assurance, the new surface inspection system thus constantly provides all fundamental data needed for targeted rework, quick surface analyses and process optimizations.
