WENZEL’s PHOENIX optical 3D sensor is the ideal solution for non-contact measurement applications. PHOENIX delivers high-precision results at very impressive speeds, particularly on standard sheet metal parts. Because imaging is used for the entire inspection task, PHOENIX is much faster than touch probes. The sensor was put through rigorous by Opel at its headquarters in Rüsselsheim and the results were extremely impressive. Overall measuring time was reduced by up to 30 % during attribute verification. Ease of use makes PHOENIX the perfect quality assurance tool, particularly for volume manufacturing. Because of these impressive advantages, General Motors has installed PHOENIX optical sensors all over Europe, and the company is installing PHOENIX in Rüsselsheim, Gliwice in Poland and at GM’s Ellesmere Port plant in the UK. PHOENIX will also boost efficiency at other GM plants in the future.
