Mobile metrology: Portable measurement devices with ZEISS GOM

Accuracy and speed in production are no longer just desirable but essential. That’s why mobile metrology is becoming increasingly important. It enables flexible and efficient inspection and measurement of components and systems directly on-site, saving time, reducing costs, and improving product quality by allowing immediate corrections during the production process. With ZEISS mobile measuring instruments, you can achieve your measurement tasks easily and accurately.

What is mobile metrology?
Mobile metrology involves using mobile and portable measurement devices to take measurements directly at the location of the objects being inspected. Unlike stationary measurement systems, which are often installed in specialised measurement rooms, mobile measuring instruments offer greater flexibility and are not tied to fixed measurement locations. They are used to precisely capture and store critical measurement values.

The technology behind mobile metrology allows for the digitisation and analysis of complex geometries and structures in 3D, which is particularly important in industries like automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery manufacturing. Mobile measurement systems, such as 3D scanners and photogrammetry systems, are optimised not only for precision and robustness but also to function reliably under various environmental conditions. They play a crucial role in meeting high product quality demands by enabling continuous monitoring and optimisation of production processes.

Mobile 3D scanner ATOS Q
ATOS Q is a compact 3D scanner designed specifically for use in production environments. This portable measurement device can perform complex inspection and measurement tasks while meeting high metrological standards. Even under challenging conditions, the measurement system delivers reliable and precise results. Combined with ZEISS INSPECT, ATOS Q provides an optimal and easy-to-use solution for accurate part measurement.

Hand-held 3D scanner ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2
The portable ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 is a lightweight 3D laser scanner known for its metrological precision and user-friendliness. A red laser marker helps you find the perfect distance from your measurement object for optimal scan results. Thanks to its handy size, you can use the 3D scanner anywhere without being tied to a rigid setup.

Small 3D scanner GOM Scan 1
The GOM Scan 1 may be small, but it delivers impressive results. Thanks to its fringe projection and Blue Light Technology, you can take accurate measurements. It’s especially effective for scanning small to medium-sized components, even in tight spaces. Combined with ZEISS INSPECT software, you can elevate the quality of polygon meshes to the next level and complete your measurement tasks with maximum accuracy.

Mobile metrology in the production process
Mobile metrology plays a central role in the modern production process. Thanks to this technology, quality control can be carried out directly on the production line without having to transport the components to a specialised measurement room. This results in significant time savings and increased operational flexibility. Performing measurement tasks quickly and directly at the assembly site allows for immediate feedback and adjustments to the production processes. Mobile metrology also helps minimise downtime and maximise efficiency by identifying and correcting issues before they lead to costly production stoppages.
