PES Metrology in Automotive

Components in the automotive industry are made from a variety of materials and come in different shapes and sizes. As a result of this, there comes a number of different processes that are used to create these parts such as casting, forging and composite layers.

PES engineers ensure the quality and safety of all components on the production line from sheet metal, and body in white, to final assembly inspection. We not only guarantee the quality, but we will also save you money with less wastage and a reduction in delays. More importantly, we give peace of mind with safety being paramount.

Reverse engineering in the automotive sector is incredibly useful, especially for replacement parts, prototyping or for inspection purposes. It is a method where a physical part or mock-up is used as a starting point to analyse or recreate a product’s design.

The key phases in reverse engineering include accurately and effectively obtaining the car body’s forms and then extracting the data from the resulting scan to rebuild the original.

PEM Metrology have a number of jigs and fixtures to help with the assembly & validation and installation & inspection within the automotive sector. These may include:

• castings
• bumpers & grills
• welding fixtures
• interior trims
• assembly checking
• electrical tests.

Our engineers at PES Metrology are proficient in:

• 6DOF Path verification for robot arms
• Gauge R&R (Repeatability and Reproducibility analysis).
