Taking measurements of glass for automotive applications needs to be precise and delicate, to ensure no marring of the surface.
In the automotive industry, headlamps have gone from flat and square to various shapes that must tightly fit the lines of an automobile. These types of lamps require tighter manufacturing processes and tolerances that must now be checked before shipment to the auto assembly plant.
For these measurement checks, dial gauges can be slow cumbersome, and non-contact technologies lack the repeatability required.
Solartron Metrology offers a
Feather Touch and
Ultra Feather Touch sensors, what can be positioned within a gauge to perform instantaneous repeatable checks at critical points on the glass profile and eliminate the possibility of scratching surface
