International Workshop Series – 3D Metrology in Casting and Foundry Processes
January to April 2018
The international GOM workshop series on 3D metrology in casting and foundry processes will take place from January to April 2018 at 42 locations from Asia to America. With application reports from 29 countries as well as live demonstrations, the GOM network provides process and measurement technology expertise throughout the world.

Alongside local user experiences, the GOM team stages live presentations to introduce the latest developments in 3D metrology as well as in measurement and inspection software:

Quality assurance for pattern and mold making
Tracking and back projection for tool making and cast parts
Multiple part analysis
Production quality control of cast parts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3D Metrology in Casting and Foundry

Measuring systems from GOM are used in sand, pressure die and investment casting processes to guarantee consistent quality assurance: from simulation verification, via accelerating tool-try-out and first article inspection, up to production control and CNC machining.

GOM Workshops
GOM workshops are an industrial meeting platform for design engineers, tool makers as well as specialists from research & development, production, and quality assurance. They provide insight into the use of optical 3D metrology in the casting and foundry industry. Leading industrial companies present examples from their day-to-day practice. They show how integrating optical measuring systems into the entire process chain helps them shorten development times, improve production workflows, and thus enhance the company’s profitability. Alongside these user experiences, the GOM team stages live presentations to introduce the latest developments in 3D metrology as well as in measurement and inspection software.

 

 

We are looking forward to your registration for the international workshop series on 3D metrology in casting and foundry processes. For further information about the international workshop series and the event data in your country, please visit www.gom-workshop.com.

More than 20 automated and manual GOM systems are in use at the new Volkswagen plant in Września. Production quality for the VW Crafter is ensured using ground-breaking measuring technology in an optical measuring room on 5,400 m².

 

Volkswagen’s new plant in Poland, which was officially opened in 2016, is a role model for European transporter construction. Exclusively made-to-measure solutions are produced using state-of-the-art technologies. Volkswagen achieves this largely through automation in the assembly lines and the paint shop. In order to ensure the quality for the resulting equipment variants, an extensive optical measuring room was included in the construction plan of this highly modern facility. Everything is designed to measure the commercial vehicles, which are up to seven meters long and almost three meters tall.

The inspection of assembly modules and body shells through to completely painted car bodies is primarily carried out using automated GOM metrology systems. ATOS sensors in combination with dedicated software are used for full-field 3D geometry checks based on surface comparison between nominal and actual data.

One reason for VW’s decision to rely on optical metrology is the completeness of results as well as their quality. Additionally, the measuring systems are easy to use and do not require too much training compared to conventional solutions. For Volkswagen, optical metrology represents the path to the future.
