(Perceptron: Plymouth, MI) -- Perceptron, a leading global provider of 3D automated metrology solutions and coordinate measuring machines, has announced that a prestigious German automotive manufacturer selected Perceptron gauging and robot guidance for its manufacturing facility in China.

The project includes six stations in total: four in-line gauging, one in-line robot guidance for form and pierce, and one near-line closure panel gauging. All stations feature Helix sensors, including both structure-mounted and robot-mounted, to measure features such as threaded studs, hemmed edges, and complex holes. Perceptron’s measurement algorithms allow measurement of nonstandard hole shapes, which are increasingly used by manufacturers to error-proof their build process.
