MoveInspect Technology – the new modular system for portable CMMs
A separate measuring system for each measuring task - this philosophy is a thing of the past. Today, due to economic reasons, measurement equipment must be applicable in a versatile way. AICON’s answer to this requirement is the new system concept MoveInspect Technology for the measurement of 3D coordinates. MoveInspect Technology will premiere at the EuroMold show in Frankfurt/Main (Germany).
MoveInspect Technology is based on a unique modular system that allows…
New tube measuring system TubeInspect HS delivers improved measuring accuracy of …
Braunschweig/Germany, April 30, 2009 – Nowadays, the production of tubes is shaped by narrowing tolerances. As a consequence, very precise inspection equipment with high measuring repeatability is required for quality assurance in order to control the production in a reliable way. AICON reacts to this demand and launches the new camera-based 3D tube measuring system TubeInspect HS.
At first glance, the new measuring system seamlessly fits into AICON’s TubeInspect…
Now also ready for climate chambers: Dynamic Measurements with MoveInspect
Braunschweig/Germany, February 25, 2009 – AICON’s optical measuring system MoveInspect captures dynamic processes three dimensionally and analyses them with regard to geometric changes. Thanks to a new climate control concept, MoveInspect is now also ready for analysing movements and deformations under extreme climatic conditions, for example in environmental chambers. Here, the optical system replaces mechanical travel sensors because it reduces the setup work significantly.
MoveInspect is based on a camera bar…

DPAInspect measures fixtures in a cost-saving and precise way
Braunschweig, Oct 20, 2008 – No production does without fixtures. All industrial sectors use them to fix work pieces in the position required for further processing. Thus it is possible to guarantee a constantly high quality of the components. Yet what happened if the fixture itself would be deformed? In order to avoid this worst case scenario, all fixtures are controlled periodically so that deviations to their nominal geometries…
EngineWatch measures engine movements in 6D
Braunschweig/Germany, September 4th, 2008 – In vehicle development, exact information about engine-to-body clearance is necessary to ensure an optimal design of the available space. For example, the engine must not collide with other parts in the engine bay when the driver changes gears or deals with difficult driving maneuvers. AICON’s optical measuring system EngineWatch is now available to measure engine movements precisely.
The system acquires engine movements in six degrees of…
