Case Study: Volkswagen Sachsen achieves faster, more accurate engine quality inspection with Carl Zeiss DuraMax

Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH accelerates engine quality checks with Carl Zeiss

Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH, a Volkswagen engine factory in Chemnitz, faced a challenge in performing flexible quality inspections directly on its production shop floor. Their previous manual methods using various gauges were time-consuming, error-prone, and required replacement with every new engine generation. The vendor Carl Zeiss provided a solution using its ZEISS DuraMax coordinate measuring machines.

The solution implemented by Carl Zeiss involved deploying small, robust, and programmable ZEISS DuraMax machines that could operate in the production environment. This provided Volkswagen with more detailed, accurate, and reliable measurement results. The vendor's technology enabled considerable savings, accelerated production, and reduced costs, with the factory ultimately using 14 of these machines in its facilities.
