Case Study: Metallgießerei Wilhelm Funke optimizes casting inspection and reduces scrap with Carl Zeiss ScanBox

Metallgießerei Wilhelm Funke boosts castings inspection throughput with Carl Zeiss

The customer, Metallgießerei Wilhelm Funke, a metal foundry specializing in complex castings for the automotive and aerospace industries, faced challenges in quality control due to increasing part complexity and the need for shorter delivery times. To meet these demands, they worked with vendor Carl Zeiss to implement the automated ZEISS ScanBox system for inspection.

Carl Zeiss provided an automated 3D measurement solution using the ScanBox system and ZEISS INSPECT software. This allowed for fast, high-precision, and traceable inspections, which significantly increased throughput. The solution provided real-time trend analysis to quickly identify deviations, resulting in reduced scrap, less post-processing time, and the ability to take corrective action swiftly.
