Precise Industrial 3D Metrology
Sheet Metal Forming
Measuring systems from GOM are used in stamping, bending, drawing, pressing, and forming process chains to guarantee consistent quality assurance: from determining the sheet metal properties, via accelerating tool try-out and first article inspection, up to series accompanying production control and assembly analysis.
From January to April 2017, over 1,000 experts from the fields of development, quality assurance and production took part in the GOM workshop series. In Asia, Europe and America, 35 companies shared their experiences with 3D metrology.
Quality control in sheet metal forming processes
- Material Properties/FLC
- Design / CAD
- Simulation & Forming Limit Analysis
- Tool Making, Testing & Machine Capability Analysis
- First Article Inspection
- Series Inspection
- Assembly & Fixtures
For design and simulation, GOM systems provide precise material properties by determining the forming limit curve (FLC). During try-out, sheet metal parts are checked for shape and dimensional accuracy as well as for material defects: part geometry, springback, trimming, hole patterns, material thickness, and forming limit analysis. For the series-accompanying quality control, all measurement and inspection processes are automated.
