Optimising process and experience with the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960

The BMW Group required a more efficient and portable metrology system to maintain its stringent production quality standards at its Regensburg plant. The challenge was to reduce operation times without sacrificing the precision needed to identify defects in car body assembly and robot alignment. To address this, they partnered with Hexagon to find a new solution.

Hexagon implemented a comprehensive system centered on the Leica Absolute Tracker AT960, which was paired with a Leica T-Scan 5 scanner and a Leica T-Probe. This solution delivered the necessary portability, speed, and accuracy, with features like active targeting and environmental monitoring ensuring reliable operations. The result for the BMW Group was a transformed, highly efficient measurement process that became a major part of their daily quality assurance, ensuring precise measurements of car bodies and production tools.
