What is Metrology?

Metrology is concerned with measuring objects to determine their geometric features such as size, shape, and volume. Every product is manufactured according to a specification that sets certain tolerances the component must meet to comply with quality standards. Using metrology, AT verifies these tolerances and compares them with the information from the technical drawing to ensure that all components meet the specified quality requirements.

By integrating 3D sensors, metrology enhances the precision and efficiency of these measurements. This advanced technology allows for a detailed comparison between the manufactured component and its technical specifications, ensuring compliance with quality standards and detecting any deviations early in the process. Some important Use Cases for Metrology:

Dimensional Inspection

Using 3D sensors, metrology verifies the exact dimensions of components, ensuring they meet design specifications and tolerances.
Geometric Analysis

Metrology evaluates the geometric features of objects, such as flatness, roundness, and angles, to ensure they conform to the required standards.
Volume Measurement

In industries like packaging and logistics, metrology with 3D sensors accurately measures the volume of objects for optimized space utilization and material usage.
Surface Analysis

Metrology inspects surface roughness and texture, which is crucial for components that require specific surface finishes for functionality or aesthetics.
Assembly Verification

By measuring assembled components, metrology ensures that all parts fit together correctly and function as intended, preventing assembly issues and enhancing product reliability.

How Metrology Works:
5 Simple Steps

Metrology with 3D sensors is a precise and systematic process.
Here’s how it works:

1. Component Scanning

The component is scanned by our 3D sensors, capturing detailed geometric data and creating a comprehensive 3D model.

2. Data Processing

The scanned data is processed and inspected using advanced metrology libraries, comparing the measured values with reference values from technical drawings.

3. Deviation Analysis

During the inspection process, any deviations from the target values are identified and precisely analyzed, highlighting potential irregularities.

4. Quality Assurance

The analysis ensures that all components meet the specified quality requirements, verifying that they comply with the established tolerances.

5. Data Evaluation

Detailed measurements are made, documenting the inspection results and providing valuable data for quality control and process improvement.

By following these steps, metrology with C6 3D sensors ensures the accuracy and quality of every component, enhancing overall manufacturing precision and reliability.
