(NextSense: Graz, Austria) -- NextSense GmbH, a provider of optical sensor technology, will present the CALIPRI noncontact multiplatform method for quick recording and flexible analysis of gap contours at the CONTROL 2013 trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany, May 14–17, 2013.

“CALIPRI meets the requirements of the automotive industry for ever-narrower gap dimensions and measurement solutions independent of platform,” says Christoph Böhm, marketing manager at NextSense. “The optical measurement system allows for measurements of an accuracy not possible till now as well as the universal use of the same measurement device in all stages of automotive body production.”

The geometric data of gaps can be examined with CALIPRI in the same way you would use a feeler gauge or stencil. In contrast to other methods, CALIPRI uses noncontact profile recording to deliver assumption-free measurement results even with deep gaps. The versatile, easy-to-use CALIPRI is available in three versions: The CALIPRI Portable for mobile gap and flush measurements; CALIPRI Inline Operator for manual use on the assembly line; and CALIPRI Inline Robot, a fully automated, robotic system.

The highlights of CALIPRI include:
