Improve the control of the car body painting thickness

The competitiveness in the automotive sector is very high and therefore it requires the most exigent in-line quality control processes.

However, the current worldwide used quality control methods for the car body coating thickness measurement presents several flaws that had to be addressed with a new technology.

Due to the obsolescence of our previous
measurement systems, the Wolfsburg
planning department and our technology
partner das-Nano, decided to introduced an installation based on Terahertz technology.

This system allows us the simultaneous
measurement of all paint layers in a fully
automated way eliminating manual processes”.
