Augmented reality metrology

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Auburn Hills, Michigan – At IMTS 2018 in Booth #135516, Marposs will be demonstrating guided sequence gaging using augmented reality (AR). Visitors to this area of the booth will be provided AR glasses that guide them through a sequence of steps and measurements to check features on a cylinder head component using the Marposs iWave2 handheld wireless gauge and a Go/NoGo gage. As visitors progress through the sequence, the perception will be that the measurement information is adhering to the workpiece.

This AR experience is just one of many demonstrations occurring in the Marposs booth, where visitors will be provided a tour that illustrates how Marposs measurement and inspection solutions can be applied to improve manufacturing processes from before, during and after the machining operation. Other stations will feature machine tools to demonstrate tool setting, probing, machine monitoring and robotic gaging. Additionally, there will be stations on dynamic grinding including its BLU single cable control system, bench gauging, automated machine inspection, and leak testing. Nearly 50 Marposs’ products will be displayed or demonstrated at the show.
